<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 8005996, member: 13650"]Just DO something to make it more difficult. There's always focus on what's not good enough. Well, it all depends on what type of crook(s) show up. Your crook is going to be somewhere on the spectrum between a punk kid, maybe a druggie and an Oceans 11 crew. More likely lower end to somewhere in between. Maybe one, two or three people but most likely one. Think about what can an average guy carry out? How about two? If you're at home, are you prepared for a gun fight at any time? </p><p> If you buy something, how tough is it? Can a pick axe puncture it? If so it's too cheap. Have multiple layers of protection in place. Thieves don't want to get caught. Have multiple cameras, not just one. How visible is it once in place? Garages are a terrible locations to put anything. As someone else said, don't have all eggs in one basket. Multiple locations and keeping it on the down low is going to help you avoid problems. </p><p> I watched a burglar that did prison time talk about his experiences. Dogs didn't phase him. They can test a dog easily enough. Unless a dog is actually going to go into attack mode and become vicious, you can't rely on a dog other than maybe a bark to alert you if you're home and it's totally worthless if you're not home.</p><p><br /></p><p> They would much rather rob an empty house than have someone at home unless they're high and really don't give a.....you get the idea. That's when it really becomes dangerous no matter what you have at home. If you make it easy, don't be surprised if somebody takes advantage of it some day.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
