--- Quote from: Weston Bye on July 26, 2009, 01:35:22 PM ---I once had tools stolen, about a week's pay worth. I view this as equivalent to taking my life, or some portion of it. Not only did I loose a week of life's effort, I lost, in some measure, the ability to make a living -to sustain life- with the tools. Indeed, the tools can be replaced, but the 40 hours can't.
Now, in defending my life, that is, the possessions that the efforts of a lifetime have made possible, and the tools I need to sustain life, to what extreme dare I go? Certainly not to take another's life even though he is in the act of taking a part of mine. Assuredly not to injure another while he is in the act of taking part of my life. Perhaps not to detain another for taking a part of my life, for freedom lost is life lost. Or even to impede someone from taking the substance of my life or livelyhood may be too much. Following this slippery slope of logic would ultimately lead to no locks on doors - any defense is too extreme.
Maybe the politicians are blood relations to the ordinary thieves.
Back on topic - forgive me if I don't reveal the details and extent of my security measures.

That is probably some of the best security advice given on this forum. Another was not to show off to everyone driving down the street how much man candy you have in your garage/shed.
Another one that is good is a motion detector/heat sensor that hook up to a flood light.

With advance apologies to John....
Mssr's Smith and Wesson are on watchful duty here and you WILL be found with a recently fired weapon in hand, when the police and coroner arrive to retrieve your remains. The above is based on specific advice given me by local law enforcement. What a country!!

I don't want to alarm you, but then maybe I do....
I was pretty aware how easy it was to pick most locks, but it seems the kids are now teaching each other the joys of bumping...
That's lock bumping.......
Never heard of it, just look on Utube
If you have any sort of padlock or Yale type key door lock then you might as well leave the door open.
Oddly enough even Bump proof locks are not bump proof....fancy 10 pins with 7 side pins are very space age looking keys are no trouble.....beware...
The only type of lock that so far seems to be immune to bumping are mortise locks, but make sure it's a five lever type cos 3 leavers are fairly easy to pick.
It's all pretty worrying.
I'm insured I hear you say.....well maybe not. No sign of forced entry and the insurers say you must have forgotten to lock the door. They will not pay out. The police take the same view, no signs of forced entry.....then you must be pulling a fast one....
Sleep tight...

Hmmm......
I`ve been a bit busy recently, as you can see......
You can also see where the overnight vermin silently stole the copper gas pipe from the empty house next door!
Don`t feel quite so secure in our quiet little cul de sac any more......
