Frugal protection against burglars

daylight. The sad thing is, even if I'd been there and seen them doing
it, chances are I wouldn't have suspected anything, since I didn't
know the owners - or whether they were moving out or selling
anything!
Please consider telling all your neighbors to call the police if they
ever see anything like that at your house, unless you TOLD them all in
advance exactly WHEN the movers would be there. Of course, they're
more likely to say yes and mean it if you promise to do the same for
them.

this will go epidemic about the time prices rise another 30% (over
the span of a year to 18 months) and SS and welfare checks get no
increase or just a few percent... When states are forced to cut
back on welfare it will begin to go ballistic... and when the states
are forced to debloat their supremely bloated staffs, and those hit
the collapsed job market... it will go ballistic.
good neighbors with shot guns on hand will be a big help in that time
frame... if you still have a house and are not living in your
car...those cant have guns, so wlll be relying on the old stand by
bolo knife or short machette.. that will be exciting.

Just another of your silly little fantasys. Didnt happen during the
great depression and we didnt even have SS and welfare check then.

Wont happen either.

How would you have survived when there was no welfare?

That might work in "some" neighborhoods, but in others these same
neighbors might be the ones doing the break in.

I'm inclined to agree. Burglars usually steal what is easy. Often
it's neighbors kids and they know the neighborhood and it's occupants
habits well.
You'd be surprised at how much goes on that no one ever sees.

That's assuming you live where you can see your neighbors. I can see parts
(rooflines and the back of a barn) of maybe 5 houses from my property, but I
have no idea who is coming or going. Hell, with the exception of the two
closest neighbors (walking distance), I have no idea who any of those people
are. Of course it's not lot there's a lot of crime in boondockville. We work
at home and rarely leave the house. We'd notice a car driving down our
driveway from the road, and it's not like anyone would get very far on foot.

Yep. It is kind of like announcing, "I don't have a burglar
alarm, but I DO have stuff worth stealing."

Lol, last time that happened here, moving van drew up nex door, I rang the
home and she answered that everything was okay. When he came home, she
and a bit of stuff had vanished. Shrug.
But yes, we do wach a little bit of what is happening in the street and
do at east have a little idea of who is moving or selling.

Yup. Somebody wants to burglarize my house? Let'em come. That's why
I pay all that money to my insurance company every year. And if I'm
home when they come in, or I get home while they're still there, we're
gonna be all over the news for a couple of days.
I own very "things" that have such sentimental value they can't be
replaced. Those few items fit in my safe deposit box, which is where
they are, along with all of my family's important papers (social
security cards, birth and death certificates, military records,
insurance policies, household inventory, etc, et al). Family photos
and historical documents have been scanned and are stored with an
online storage service, as well as on discs in the aforementioned safe
deposit box. Wouldn't want to lose the originals, but if I do at least
I have the copies.
Truth is, I've got a few things at home that I wish someone would
steal. I'd rather have the money. Any takers?
Rod Speed
Yeah, my policy is 'new for old forever' so I was thinking
that a damned good looting would go down very well indeed.
I was a bit tempted to put a sign on the door saying 'away for 4 weeks, back on
5-Dec, but I thought maybe the insurance company might refuse to payout if I did.

More like folks would refuse to believe you were really away since you
are posting 24/7.
