Posted by Gun Guru on May 01, 2010 at 15:09:57 from (66.227.197.252):

Yesterday I talked with my next door neighbor. He told me that last week at about 1pm (I was at work) 2 guys in a gray Chevy PU drove up to my home and 1 guy got out and walked up to my front door. My neighbor knows that I am at work in the day. So my neighbor walked out of his garage and stood in his driveway, the guy that walked up to my door went back to his truck got in and left. (I hope they come back when I am home, I will have a present for them)

I went to Home depot today and bought a cheap high intensity door sensor, when the front door opens then a shreeking alarm sound comes out of this pocket size calculator, hopefully scaring off the dirtbag. I am hesitant to install a real alarm due to the fact that it will likely trigger many false alarms. Besides the crooks know that once the alarm sounds they have 2 minutes to steal all they can grab in one handful and leave before the cops get to your home. I told the wife to turn the radio on in the living room when she leaves for work. (it might help)
My home sits 1000 feet of the road and is blocked by many trees.
Anybody here have any advice for a guy that has never had a real alarm system.? Any opinions on how to better safe guard a home. I have all the windows locked and the door wall is jammed shut with a 2x2 post, the entry door on the garage is barracaded with a 4x4 locked into position and only a gorilla would be able to bust that door in.

This neighbor of mine has a gate that is operated by a button in your car/truck and has a 120vac line going to it, the gate is 200 feet from his house. He wants me to get a gate like his..........PITA for me, $1500 to make it, install it run the power line etc. Besides a guy has to get out and walk 200 feet to break in and is not much of a deterent, in my opinion.
Give me some more ideas on what to do here.

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
