Lock Bumping!! Must Read!

[jeffandre]

locks don't work. If a thief wants in, He'll just kick your door in. I've seen it all, huge locks and work done to the jamb just results in hinges literally ripped from the door, jamb or both. There is no locks that can prevent this. The best solution is an alarm system.

Absolutely right! A determined burglar can work around practically any device. A good alarm system, great lighting, and keeping your 'inventory' of valuables out of sight goes a long way.

Dogs and guns look like they can help, but more often than not they are useless too (unless you are armed and ready when someone happens to be breaking in).

People can get around locks, people can get around alarms too, hell they can get around a dog too if they really want to... BUT I HAVENT MEET ANYONE YET THAT CAN GET AROUND A 12 GAUGE!!

yeah Mark, but what if you aren't home?

yeah a thief goes for the path of least resistance, a window. on my mothers house a thief broke out her french doors in the back of the house and opened the garage and backed a van into the garage, closed the door and loaded up the van. they took their time and took everything. the cops didn't do anything just gave them an incident report for the insurance. also home owners only covers a minimal amount of jewlery about $2500, if each piece isn't listed you'll excede the amount quick.

The sound of a chambered shotgun crosses all boundries. That is a sound everyone knows.
