Nailed one end of a piece of log chain to the wall of the building. Threw the other end of the chain into the empty dog house. And then placed a cow femur from a slaughter house in front of the dog house. No issue with petty thievery.


This oughta work.

Although I think that's a cow's femur. wink

L.W.

About the gist of it. laugh Large dogs in and around the house tend to keep honest people honest. Being known as the local "gun nut" probably has not hurt...

I put these on most of my doors - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D2K367Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

In addition use a door jam reinforcement plate and replace all the hinge and strike plate screws with 3" screws. Slows the MFers down quite a bit so that you can concentrate on proper grouping.

Ring doorbell, the burglars know about them and avoid them. When home always keep the doors locked, want to "greet" anyone breaking in.

Are you sure this might not attract them? Make them think it's a good place to steal guns?

I see a lot fewer NRA stickers on cars than I did a couple of decades ago.


Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.

Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

If you have a car with a Nav system and garage door button, make sure you disable them when you sell he car.

If you don't, a crook can use the nav system to find your home and the button to open your garage door.

Gotta leave them a little loose so they can pivot.

I've replaced our gate clevis pins with a pad lock and before that I went with a nyloc nut on an allen headed bolt.

Yup. Lock

We found a locked one on an EMS call. Took me a full set of tools out of my personal vehicle to finally get the gate open. Guy was dead by that time unfortunately but local deputy and I worked as fast as we could to get the clamps and such off. I'd have been quicker too cut the fence, but no fence cutters as I was in my personal vehicle

A dog. That likes to bark. Beware of dog signs.

Remote locking gate at the road. and obvious camera. And a ring and not so obvious game cam on cell coverage. Helps show when the pigs and coyotes come by too.

Everything is locked. But you can't do away with all the help. Like the wood pile outside. Or the gas grill with propane bottle.

But try to keep it more difficult. And the idea that if caught they won't likely have to worry about crime again.

If you are having to load the AR you could be too late. Plus I prefer not to give anything away. I know its uber cool to use a racking shotgun or whatever. But I'm not cool. I prefer you not know I'm there until the last instant. From then on out its up to you.

My best security tip is to make your home in a rural Caucasian community in the southeastern part of the country.

That alone will eliminate about 98.5% of all your crime problems.

Good advice, right there. Even the western states are somehat suspect, with the likes of commie collaborator Cheney and big city feral spawn.

We've been on the lookout for this guy since Christmas. We have security cameras, game cameras and automatic gates but that doesn't stop anyone. This clown has been out of prison for a few months now and he's already trespassing. The POS lives with a friend that slapped his own mom around. They're probably our closet neighbors and live about a mile through the woods from our house, along with a few other dope heads and one crack whore. All the neighbors know that my wife shot at two POS and might of hit one running out of the barn with buckshot early one morning. Our best neighbors are our black neighbors and it's not even a close second. The court system and liberals are to blame for this BS, and we're not going to put up with it on our property.

Lots of NRA stickers seem to be a hint you have LOTS of guns.

This.

Also, our front yard is fenced and we let our dogs run around in the front yard regularly. I have a bitty stock tank 2' wide or so) and a big honking food bowl where folk can see them.

So:
1. Evidence of a large man who knows how to work.
2. Dogs, one of which is a some sort of bully mix. "Is that a pit bull?!?!?" Nope, but she is sweet as pie to folks who are nice but could likely chew your arm off, bones no matter.
3. even if dogs not visible, evidence that dogs are present.
