Oh... Did I mention it's a wireless monitored alarm system...so it'll dial 911 for me ... That way I can concentrate on aiming.. ;)-Stoic Joker (July 18, 2013, 03:39 PM)

It's just too bad that it's the guys standing on the front porch that'll get the call.-4wd (July 18, 2013, 07:45 PM)

By that time it'll all be over. You ever hear the one about the guy that called in a robbery and was told it would take 2 hours, so he called in a shooting and they were there in seconds??
It ain't a joke.
When my old house got broke into...they showed up 2 hours after I called.
Shooting that happened next door...there in seconds.
My faith in them ... F'ing Zero. The alarm just keeps my homeowners insurance rate down.

The announcement that free coffee and donuts are being served may provoke the desired alacrity.

Attempting to "be nice" can also be interpreted as interfering these days.

I just posted about the security sign because it's a very effective "visual deterrent"; any thief would think twice unless they somehow knew beforehand it wasn't genuine. The article also mentions that thieves won't touch a house that dogs obviously live at. I leave a couple dog toys in the front yard to "remind" them.
...and on the subject of gunsIf THAT doesn't stop them, I have had some training in home defense at the local rifle club, and I keep a trusty 20-gauge in an easily accessible (to ME) hiding place. Knowing when NOT to pull the trigger is many times just as important as knowing when and how, and not having the guts to use it when your family is being threatened is worse than not having it at all, IMO.

hehe, no ... That only happens on TV. Besides, by the time that call goes out I'll be sitting on the porch waiting for them.-Stoic Joker (July 20, 2013, 08:53 AM)

Think more laterally: gang = people in picture
Given today's USA, is it more likely to be a street gang or the nice folks in the picture crashing through the door uninvited?

Funny that you mentioned donuts, looks like just about every one of those cops have donuts for breakfast, lunch and dinner.... :P
