Re: The burglars
No one....NObody...should hesitate for one instant to report anybody who looks like they don't belong or what ever it is that bothers one about them. The worst case is it turns out to be a non event. But even worse, the REAL shady characters who do no belong are counting on those who think twice about reporting ANYBODY!
We have those inexpensive, battery powered alarms you can put on each door or window. When they hear it they are gone.
I have those and my good old fashioned military 12 gage....just racking it is usually sufficient for an intruder to leave. We don't have little ones to worry about so we can have a loaded self defense weapon....it is LEGAL....IT IS EFFECTIVE!
If you are not trained in using one don't do it until you do get the proper instruction.
The neighbor net work is also very effective.
A dog is also a meaningful deterrent.
Lock your doors....especially those that are open to your lanai areas.
When in doubt...ask...challenge...call some body.....the perpetrators count on the silent majority!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BTK :cop:
