I moved to this neighborhood 6 years ago because my old one had gone to the dogs...
...and last week I learned 5 homes were burgled on my street...
I also had my car's rear window shot out last year...
No matter where you live,... best you can do, is make your home look less inviting than the one next door...
(That's not very neighborly when you think about it,... but what can you do?)...
Anyway Pine,.. I hope the insurance pays up... you may be in for a little shopping spree.
...
I haven't done it,.. but a smart move, would be to replace your doorbell dinger, with a barking dog sound...
Sadly,... I don't have a doorbell...
...
PS... I used to think a "Don't Tread on Me" flag, or Rebel, or even American flag would tell thieves to stay away... or even a "Protected by Smith and Wesson" sign...
In reality,.. it tells thieves that you likely own valuable guns... (often the biggest prize for a burglar)...
