Zippy, the point is, there's always going to be easier places for average low tech criminals (the majority are smash and grab) to get into than one where the owner has gone to some effort to protect their home and contents.

I'm not suggesting they don't ''case'' potential sites. What I'm suggesting is they do and then decide it looks like too much work and move onto another place that'll be a shit load easier.

And then it doesn't hurt to try psychological measures -- like a sign reading:

"Never MIND the Dog! Owner Is Gay and has A History Of Violence."

Sure, he has A History Of Violence -- on DVD.

Yeah, I've heard that argument before too. Personally I don't have an alarm system because I think they're pretty pointless generally. They go off unnecessarily half the time, and then don't work when they're supposed to.

That being said though, evidence still suggests that most would be burglars will choose the easier place over the hard one.

That high fence and/or shrub is a great blind for them to work behind so your neighbors don't see and hear what they are doing also.
