LOL, These guys can barely carry the shotgun they are issued. Sometimes they are promised food but at times it never comes. The uniforms have the company logo "peeling" away as it is. Sometimes they're underpaid by the firm or overworked and not paid as a result.
As we stray away from the OP's question, may I jump in here and point out that having a watchman, is a deterent to a certain degree, no matter if it's private or the company ones.
If a person is out of the country and needs his property watched, what choice does he have?
There is no perfect solution, but one could store the most "stealable" items at a friends house, perhaps leave a bit of sabotage behind, loud motion sensors, nasty dogs, etc.
As we are painfully aware that house break ins are so frequent, we could start inventing tricks, like, for instance, one could leave a weak point of entrance, like one door that has no bars, and when opened, a bucket of hydrochloric acid empties onto the perp's head, things like that.
I don't want to divulge all my tricks, but it might be food for thought.
This type of defense could be quite a deterent against future break ins.
