home security Options

[queen]

someone tried to break in my house last night. well, i don't really know what their intentions were 'cause the whole setup was just weird, but nevertheless, i'm greatly annoyed by it.

we have two huge, heavy 4' bins full of crap that we use to block a window in the basement (from the outside, at the back of the house). those two bins were found set aside, away from the window, a good 5 feet away. and the toolshed was open, 10 feet away. we're assuming some idiot tried to find something in the toolshed to break open the window. i don't know if s/he just gave up or got scared by our neighbor's motion sensor lights.

though nothing happened, it's still f**king scary. especially when we have kids in the house. i wanna catch him/her/them if they ever try again. then i'd have an excuse to stab someone in the eye. f**kers >;[

we have an alarm, but only for our doors/windows. i wanna set up a motion sensor around the perimeter of our lawn. what do you have for your home security?

Get a dog....in fact get a couple. Our neighbor was always getting broken into and then they got a couple of dogs and they've never had a problem since.

What if they are too friendly and end up like licking the intruder?

My family, like every other Chinese house in NYC, have these weird bars over the windows and doors. You would have to be Tinkerbell to slip through. Even if you tried to break though, we'd hear ya.
