I recall an incident some twenty-odd years ago. My wife and I had just purchased a house in Minnesota and one Saturday morning, a gentleman knocked on the door. My wife came and got me from the garden to talk to the gentleman. Turns out that he was representing a home security alarm company and was in the neighborhood trying to peddle his system. As a new homeowner we were eligible for a 50% discount, system and installation. Only kicker was that it had to be done today.
I looked at him and said slowly: I have security. .38 caliber security. My wife, too.
He turned, walked quickly back to his van, and took off without another word.
Sometimes being able to protect yourself is the way to go.

Doesn’t help when you’re not home. Before we bought I studied the rate and type of crime in the various areas. I am surprised about Stonecrest, but only a little. I hope the people involved had excellent insurance.
