OT: Home alarm systems / companies

[CBad]

I’m honestly not worried about someone breaking into my house when we’re gone. Sure, it would be upsetting, but it’s just ‘stuff’. Breaking in when we’re home is an entirely different story. This story scared the crap out of me because I never answer the door for anyone during the day.

During last summer this was a tactic used by a group of high school students when school was out. They would pretend to be delivering something or visiting, check the door find it unlocked an enter. Another method was ringing the door bell, waiting for no answer then going around back and making a forced entry. This is a good strategy in neighborhoods which are generally low crime as many residents don’t even bother to lock their doors or close their windows.

Do you have any links on these crimes? I have guns and know how to use them but I just worry about getting to them in time.

Get a helmet for you dog.

On a more serious note, rbjack makes a good point. No home alarm/protection system is perfect. IMO dog’s are better than alarm systems.

If a burglar comes prepared to mace/neutralize your dog, you should probably be more careful discussing the valuables in your home.

Obviously the CV police and HOA wanted to avoid discussing specifics but there were indications that the work was specific in nature and force was used in one occasion as described by the victims who attended the meeting. The detective claimed that he was filling in for someone who was sick and couldn’t discuss specifics. Did not seem genuine to me. Here is a couple of links to what was occurring with both home and auto thefts.

The auto theft ring was recently broken up by police. The FBI have recognized the statistically abnormal number of auto thefts in CV for years.

As for firearm storage I have heard that is a pretty good product. I saw them much cheaper on Ebay than retail.

Same here. We’re home most of the day, and we never open or answer the door if we’re not expecting someone. It’s frightening to hear about these crimes. Wish there was a way to stop this sort of thing.

What’s unfortunate is that these criminals will likely spend just a few months in jail before they’re back out doing it again.
