Which is best protection against burglary or thief from enter your home. - Blu-ray Forum

A trained guard dog is best.

Gun won't help if you're not home.

Alarm systems take too long to respond to. Statistics show that thieves are in the home 3-5 mins, that's all. I have ADT, and there's no way they could respond that fast. Also, alarms can be disabled. But now-a-days you can get ones that even if you kill the power and land line; they will use cell phone technology with battery back up to call the response center.

Another thing to consider, which is what I did is install a loud (and I mean LOUD) alarm in your attic. What you do is buy and install motion sensors, which aren't too expensive. Wire those to a loud bell/alarm (think old school fire alarms or that episode of Home Improvement when they install their home alarm system). My alarm is so loud, my entire street can hear it when it goes off. No joke.

No thief is gonna stick around with that thing going off, guaranteed.

you can buy and set up your own cameras. Hook them to a computer and a battery backup and have them go off by motion detection inside and/or on the perimeter of your house. Send an email with a snap shot and you can call the cops from your cell phone. These days, the same phone you got the email on, and report the play by play in realtime.

I highly doubt those headphones are rated to keep out 130dB of noise. But I have a feeling you were joking anyways.

You might die, but no one is going to f with your house with this around.

For all the "my pet is my security system" people, A $15 can of pepper spray just rendered your dog useless. Even a 180lb Rotty.

yeah he's cute and probably nice too, until he gets the order from his master to chew you to bits.
