2461 sats \ 21 comments \ @User21000000 8h AskSN

We got dollar wrench attacked two nights ago they ended up stealing some fairly useless stuff from all our cars 3 but didn’t come into our house.

Stealing meds , phone chargers, my drill and a small amount of cash.

Got us thinking what we need to do to keep us safe.

Home security what do you do or what suggestions are a good start?

Usually in places where guns are disabled the third option is robber robs you and gets away. As a specific American band would sing "Sad but true".

Do you believe that petty-theft is a shootable offense?

There must be a line between a starving child stealing bread and an armed vault heist. Where is the line where it becomes okay to start blasting?

Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.

Its always a good idea to live

As I said unfortunately the thing that happens is that robbers rob you and don't kill you. So you are not carried by anyone because you are alive.

Of course I see the value in posturing that you are irrational and will kill the robbers regardless of consequences since if they believe you they won't rob you.

Yeah, unfortunately the nash equilibrium is exactly what happens (even in gun happy USA) - people are robbed and that's it.

Oh they just rob and don't kill? Okay, I just don't give them my stuff them. They'll get bored eventually and leave right?

I'm sorry, but I think that to protect your home and your family ... knowing how to handle a weapon and possess one, it could mean a big difference to when you don't have it and the situation requires it.

How did they get in?

We were robbed a while back, similar in that the robbers just got into the garage but didn't enter the home.

Here's how they got into the garage. There was one car out in the driveway, normally locked but for some reason not locked that night. The bad guys were out there, checking cars in driveways to see if they were open, and then pressing garage door openers that they found inside the cars.

Then they opened the garage, and stole whatever they found (a nice bike, a few other items).

Get an intimidating dog, like a Rottweiler, and keep them with you at all times.

Here are some ideas:

Cameras and an alarm system.
If you want something way cheaper, just print a good size sticker with a Security Company logo and put it in your door.
Invest in a good and safe lock for your doors. The goal is to have a better lock than your neighbors.
Get a dog.
On the front door, put a good ligh activate by movement sensor.
Do not store your hardware wallets and the seeds in your house.

i see a few options:

move to a quieter neighborhood, further away from the big cities.
get better connected with ur neighbors - start a neighborhood watch.
get a big dog; make sure to entrain core obedience.
install cages around ur windows and doors. install double doors.
do not leave anything that looks valuable in plain sight, visible thru windows of the house or the car.
fake cameras (cheaper) that are motion activated and speak "hey, u are being recorded for ur own safety..."

What are you allowed to use for personal defense? Big knife? Boomerang?

My approach has been to move to a safer neighborhood, which is obviously more costly.
