How to protect against burglary

John Hopkins University student living off campus encountered a late night break in burglar to his apartment. The perpetrator lunged at him, while the student was armed with a Samurai sword. One swing took off the assailant's hand, who bleed to death at the scene. The assailant also had 27 prior burglary arrests and charges.

Ebm say's: "do you feel lucky, Dude?? HA

I like the Hopkins incident. Way back in the day, a friend of my sisters house was burgled. Her father happened to be an archer (see where this is going?). There was a long entry that took an L turn before opening onto the main room so her father sat in the L, night after night, knowing that most burglars come back to familiar grounds around the same time (that's why they're called 'common criminals'). Well, one night the intruder came in and when turning around to gently close the door, the father let fly an arrow right into one of the cheeks of the guys ass. His scream was said to be ungodly and he leapt a tall fence and managed to drive away with that arrow in his ass cheek.

I love telling that story.

All the best,

I use a more common sense approach. As mentioned above, you are not going to stop a determined professional. The key is not making it easy. A good dead bolt lock on all entry doors that has long screws that anchor in the studs of the door frame. Plant rose bushes or other thorny plants in front of back yard windows. Motion sensitive lights in strategic places. Dogs are good, but you don't need a threatening one. One that barks at strangers will attract attention the burglar doesn't want.

Also Hi End gear is unlikely to be the primary target of most thieves. They are looking for what the average consumer stuff and whatever valuables are available (jewelery, cash, etc) for quick buck to make their meth buy.

Of course you should have insurance and make sure it covers your stuff. In this Hi Tech age it easy for everyone to document equipment with pictures. Makes it easier to claim on the insurance.

Everyone has right to feel safe in their property and the right to ensure that their family and their possessions are not at any risk. Today’s advanced home security technology, can give homeowners peace of mind.
