we have 2 G Retrievers---not mean but big barks---we have a security system---I keep doors locked even I'm home---a floor to ceiling screen that I lock in the day

I have dogs and both are loud.

Our little town has gotten worse over the past few years, a lot of crime is committed for drugs/drug money. Seems people have no regard for anyone or anything.

I also have an aluminum baseball bat by my backdoor. Just in case.

when we check the neighborhood police report, it shows several but the catch is, about 8 miles away is a halfway house with bad guys

I'm afraid of home invasion---mr S says those are targeting places where ther has been drug activity---no matter nice the house

We have motion lights and keep our porch lights on, no tall shrubbery in front of windows and doorways, keep our vehicles locked at all times, we have a dog and our neighborhood has a strong watch program. One good thing is that I see a lot people sit on their front porches during the day and evening.

DH accidentally set off our alarm at the weekend. The cops were here in less than five minutes. DH answered the door. They insisted on seeing me too, just to make sure I hadn't pressed the alarm because I was being attacked (by DH). I was really impressed that they were so fast, and so thorough.

I have an alarm system, a mastiff-bulldog & a handgun. Not much trouble here though.

I have a ferocious dog. Works like a charm.

Call your sheriff's office and ask for a neighborhood safety meeting. We have motion lights set up and keep the shrubs trimmed in front of windows.

I think you can get in trouble for booby trapping your home. Check with your authorities. We have many who are being criminal in our neighborhood - it's just brazen hooliganism.
