I got the idea from the other Thread.
Put down some ideas, for Safety & Security.



My Security Bars on the casa. My next-door neighbor suggested that I get the anchor points reinforced.

You can have the most intimidating bars on your house, but you would be surprised how easily, a blow in the right place could knock them out.


I have the sawed off persuader, in the house, un-loaded, and it makes a noise like no other in the world, the Click-Click, just from loading action, is recognized instantaneously, in all spoken languages known to man.
Even in a pitch-dark environment, there is no mistaking it.
( Even in those tiny countries that banned them altogether!!)


Solar powered, outdoor lighting, with motion sensor?s.
Fully self contained, and available, cheap, in the states.
I had them 1st; know all my neighbors have them.

There is other stuff, but you get the idea?..

Thanks

Radio Shack sells cheap motion detectors which are very loud. I wouldn't advise it if you have pets or a rodent problem.

ps- also for those like myself who live in a cage...please pick up a smoke alarm.

I Found Out That My "Security Bars",are anchored(Welded" to the

Re-Bar) in my house! I wanted to remove a metal door.We had to chip down to the re-bar,and then cut the metal with a special electric saw!
Don't forget the air-conditioners have to be in metal protectors too!
Thieves,just like cockroaches,avoid the light! I have two Halogen "Street lights".One on a pole in my backyard,and I just had the other moved from a pole in my front yard,facing down,to a pole on the roof,facing forward.It is on the invertor,and lights the whole street in front of my house when there is no "Luz"! My neighbors like that a lot!

Of course the first chance they get, they'll steal the lights :)

sawed off persuader? I bet you got yours from Randy Weaver, up by Ruby Ridge.

The sawn off persuader ...

You're so right. I was sitting on my terrace the other night, glass in one hand, cigar in the other when from nowhere I heard that all to familiar "chick" "chick" sound. My brain went into overdrive trying to work out what the sound was - I knew it was bad but it just took a split second to work out what it was. Just as my brain said "shotgun - duck!" Kerboom! It went off - luckily it was not being pointed in my direction but you're so right, that sound seems to be lodged in my head somewhere as definately "peligroso".

OK all you Clint Eastwood wannabees - for me, real security is a bunch of security guards at the gate and limited access to where I live. I'm in my 60's and I don't consider an enjoyable day scaring off intruders. I also don't want to experience the joy of shooting someone for the first time in my life.

Danny,

I a way you're right but it's all about being selfreliant imo. Guards can and will be corrupted. Gated communities advertise the fact that yo?'re wealthy.. I think it's a trade-off between how you want to live and what you're willing to do about yourself..
