<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sula86, post: 2783710, member: 82272&quot;]I think there is another valid security point that hasn&#039;t been mentioned. You need to understand the response of law enforcement with regards to your alarm system. Most police departments respond to thousands of false alarms a year. About 98 or 99 percent of their alarm calls are false alarms. People accidentally set them off all the time, alarms malfunction, etc. Most departments these days are also severely understaffed. Recruiting cops these days is difficult. The officer responding to your alarm will be driving normally with no lights or sirens. He or she may be on a more emergent call resulting in your alarm pending until an officer is available.&nbsp; There is an easy way to expedite their response in the event of an actual burglary that started with your alarm going off. Buy a camera system that can be viewed in real time on your smart phone. When you receive notification of your alarm going off, check your cameras for a burglary in progress. If there is one, call your departments dispatch to inform them. You will now have several officers responding as quickly as possible. </p><p><br /></p><p>Owning a large dog is a great deterrent to burglaries. Keeping your mouth shut about your collection is the best deterrent. A group of experienced and motivated burglars could access most safes as well. Hiding your collection in a place most burglars won&#039;t look is a great idea. Just don&#039;t tell anyone where it is! They all will look in your safe if possible. That&#039;s usually 1 of the first places they will go.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
