Damned Burglars
A would be burglar just attempted to rob my house. He crawled through the basement windows and crawled back out. Everyone is ok, nothing was stolen or damaged (as far as I know, I received the phone call at work). My kids are now dramatized, I'm dramatized. Too man scenarios are running through my head; good and bad. Time to implement better security measures. What is the best deterent for basement level windows?

Re: Damned Burglars
And I think you meant, meant not ment...haha. I would look into some security agencies if you're trying to protect your family to the fullest. They're professionals, prob help ya sleep better at night.

Re: Damned Burglars
yep, da STP ghetto. Yes, i meant 'tramatized!'
I can't believe he had the nerve to attempt this when he could obviously hear people on the main floor.
A glock... that is one scenario I ran through my head. It didn't turn up well, with the end result in me being in prison for manslaughter.

Re: Damned Burglars
Yeah, sounds like moving somewhere safer wouldn't be a terrible idea.

A large guard dog is the best deterent. PPlus they usually wake you up in time to grab your shotty. |

Re: Damned Burglars
Moving elsewhere has always been the heated family debate. Long story short, my parents live with ME and they are stubborn and indifferent to locational change. Anything 5 minutes out of da ghetto, I'll get 101 reasons why they won't go. I'll have to wait and see when I get home from work, have a serious family discussion. I'm just thankful that everyone is ok. I'm just p'd off!

A lot of the time you don't need to use it. Mostly scare the shit out of those idiots who think they're fuckin raw.

Unfortunately that's not true. But It could look like they had a weapon (or go find one for them) |

Re: Damned Burglars
You could get bars for all of your windows. Family wouldn't fare to well in a fire but it would probably deter many. Of course the best thing to do would be move out of the ghetto, but can be hard to do for some considering the differences in home values.

Motorcycle cop pulls up next to me on UNI and says "Want to race?"
Me- "I don't think you would stand a chance."
Cop says "probably not" and drives off.

Re: Damned Burglars
I wouldn't mind having a nice Kimber 1911 around, hrm, I should pick up a shotty or two for fall/winter hunting seasons, or so the excuse would be. But that wouldn't help when this stuff happens when there's only gramps/grandma watching during the day.

Re: Damned Burglars
I 2nd the notion of a dog. Someone came into my house when I was sleeping about a year ago. The dog scared them off and woke me up. He's only like 12lbs, but he did the trick. Most burglars aren't willing to fuck with a dog of any size, it's just not worth the noise and the hassle, they'll pick a different house.
*edit*
I should mention that I'm also strongly in favor of a shotgun |

Re: Damned Burglars
Move to Texas and get a gun. Or, at least get out of the ghetto.

QFMFT!
About 3 years ago somebody (probably more than one) broke into my truck. Stole my deck and then decided to open my garage door. My dog woke me up and scared them off before I could really put the fear of god in them. |
