Security before the apocalypse. There are two types of intruders. The daytime guy, and the night time guy. The daytime guy is the one who picks a soft target and watches said house for a few days learning there schedule then hit you when your not home. The night time guy is the one who knows your home and doesnt care. This is the guy you need a firearm and some training for. How to beat the daytime guy. Security on houses I pass by is something I pay attention to no matter where I am. I know alittle about working around locks and alarms as I was not always collecting a legal paycheck and on the straight and narrow in the military, I was what you would call the day time guy. From that stand point and experience I can tell you what I looked for. You dont have to have an impenetrable fortress. You just need the appearance of one. Security on your house is a lot like being chased by a bear. You dont have to be the best. Just better than the other guy. So dress up your house. Dont have a security system? You dont really need one. Just get a sign that says you have one and put it on your lawn. You can purchase one online. An intruder will think twice and look on to your neighbors house. Dont like dogs? You dont actually have to have one. Just get beware of dog signs and put them everywhere. Everywhere. Make those visible. Or just have a dog. Even a little one makes a great roving burglar alarm. Light. Intruders hate lights. Darkness is always preferred to the contrary. So get some motion detected flood lights. Cant fake the funk on this unfortunately. Dont leave shades open with valuables in plain sight. Might be enough to convince the guy to ignore all the signs you bought online. Notice weird things, me and my wife play this game where we try to spot odd things in movies, like the mole on that guys face that was on his left is now on his right in the next scene, things like a strange car parked across the street or a man sitting on a bench that is never used, is a good place to start. Just keep your eyes open and be aware. I know what your thinking. Doug, why dont I just blow the little bastards head off when he gets in? Well. 1. you wont be home save your slugs for the night time guy, and 2. If the intruder is in the house where you sleep, where your kids play and are supposed to feel safe. You already lost. Just take these small protective measures and the intruder will think twice about your house and move on to that neighbor you dont like.-Doug
