How to protect against burglary


I just wanted to get a idea on what other audiophiles have in place to discourage intruders and protect from burglary.

Any good ideas and recommendations for security companies to use?

Thanks

"Do you think we incur burglary risk by posting system details and gallery photos of our system in this or other forums?"

Yes I do. If people can somehow track where you live. It may not happen on a forum such as this, but other places, it may happen.

I'd think twice about posting a warning about being armed and ready to use it.
Some prosecutors has made a career by convincing a jury that you intended to kill someone and couldn't wait for the burglary to happen.

Most sane states don't allow killing someone for theft unless you're unfortunate enough to live in one of those states with a "stand your ground" law on the books. Nowadays that castle law is being taken to extremes.

Personally, I like the look of cameras and lights to deter common criminals. It's the uncommon criminal who will successfully rob you and you won't know it happened until you enter your home.

If someone breaks into your home with the intention of harming or robbing you, they should expect whatever it is they get. And what they get could be anything in a long line of home defense, up to and including lead poisoning.

I take your meaning but all one has to do is do a search on it and you'll see how things can go awry. I'm all for defending your home but everyone should familiarize themselves with just what the law will or won't do for you where you live.

If I'm home and somebody breaks in I'm not going to bother asking them why.
But when it comes to theft, an old article from (of all places) the NRA advised not to take deadly action as it can come around and bite you in the ass. Sanity made sense back in the day.

Attitudes have changed since then as has the leadership of the NRA but I'm in no big hurry to put someone in the ground. As far back as I can remember, experts have always recommended a dog and if you must, a shotgun.
