He's a Jet Black Staffy who doesn't bark when people enter our yard, he only barks when they try to leave. If cooper fails to as a deterent, I then have his playmate Daley, who at 22kg fully grown is a smaller staffy but a lot more protective than the young pup. Having a fenced front yard helps. I own the house... but it's their yard, they are great with our children and great at judging character.

turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 21y 10m 3d Gender: Male Posted 20/03/10 05:56 AM Share Posted 20/03/10 05:56 AM I have an infrared beam on the front boundary line of my property. Should anyone cross it, there are buzzers inside the house to alert that there is someone on the property.Over the last 8-9 years we have noticed that thieves usually operate around 2am to 4am. It has never failed to wake us and has ranged from a bloke in a backpack looking into the cars with a torch to a couple of blokes with torches.Basically put the flood lights on and scream at them from the balcony and they are off.I am in the process of installing other security devices to keep one step ahead of the scum.

PMSL... it's funny, you can hear the drunk louts in our street on their way home from the pub. the dogs just sit and growl, and they keep on their way. gives great piece of mind that the car and bike are safe (let alone the family).

MADF6 Member 399 Member For: 17y 10d Posted 20/03/10 09:48 AM Author Share Posted 20/03/10 09:48 AM Yeah - thanks guys. Crime is everywhere that's for sure...I've got 3 alarms called Cooper but they sleep around the back of the house. I'm moving this year so I'll make sure I buy a place with a 2 or 3 car garage. Pitty Ford doesn't know how to make an alarm system that will sound when your doors open. I like the infra-red idea though and I'll be putting in a few things like that at my new pad. I won't just be yelling at them from afar though if your know what I mean.As I said I was lucky. All they took was a few cables from my center console and did no damage at all. I had a guy come round from forensics who dusted the car down and got 5 good prints. Hopefully the scum show up on their fingerprint database and they get busted.The cars good as new again and I've just finished giving her a good clean. The powder from the forensics dude was a shocker to get off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seduced Need more power. Now taking donations. Member 753 Member For: 15y 11m 6d Gender: Male Posted 21/03/10 11:56 PM Share Posted 21/03/10 11:56 PM Grab a 150dB alarm on a 5 second delay, install one inside and outside the car. Have the one on the inside hooked up to a switch so you can arm/disarm to avoid personal damage. Dude breaks in, opens door sticks his head in, 150dB turns his eardrums to mush. Runs away screaming.Drive to your local hospital, ask to see anyone whose ears are bleeding. Hide baseball bat. Go and introduce yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a bit farkin pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
