House Alarms : Added Safety or False Security?

i figure anyone on a burgle mission has got to be a bit nervous.

IR triggered tape recordings of whispered commands would make me leave

shhhh... Jim do you see him?

Yea, but lets wait till he moves again...

OK...

the next IR line of defense triggers the 12 guage racking tape recording & the sweeping laserpointers

if they reach the windows, two red glowing eyes switch on inside the house & the fog emitters start pumping

GET OUT!!!!

on the less high tech front i have found tying ritual stone bundles in my trees and hanging twig & vine human figures from various branches has keep my yard pest free

;)

A quality home detection/alarm system is a valuable component in a comprehensive security plan. I use a very professional and modern company with monitoring capabilities. Cost is about $250 per year in addition to the hardware. A knowledgeable tech on the line is more effective than a recording anyday, and with the systems available today, they can give the responding LEOs a world of helpful info.
Again, that is ONE COMPONENT. Not a substitute for common sense, vigilance, dogs, locks, etc.
 
dz, your idea sounds like one I had way back when I was using a self-installed system. I wanted to hook up a tape player to it, with a
large speaker, and have the loud sounds of sirens, people screaming, machinegun fire and mortar rounds. If that wouldn't make a burglar nervous, he's probably too stoned to walk.

Years ago, in Atlanta,

A fellow, -against the advise of my friends father who was a bad-news PI- rigged his house with CS grenades.

You see, he had been broken into twice. Figgured next time, it would be the last time. Sure enough, he was down in Savanna and his house was broken into, (they were after his guns, tried to peel his safe before, kept comming after it) grenades popped, the bad guys, (there were two according to a neighbor) came out just like we did on gas chamber day in the service, coughing and sputting and crying for god to make it stop.

A month later, when he was out of town again, his house was burned to the ground.

Be careful when p*ssing off an unknown enemy.

I tend to agree with Rainbow's comments...if you're relying on the police to protect you from whoever is breaking into your house, the alarm system might help them figure out the time of death...nothing against the police, per se, but they cant be everywhere at once...

I've never taken a sawzall to a safe. Still, I don't want to give an unlimited amount of time to anyone who wants to take one to my safe.
Since it takes a one time expense of under $100 to add an extra motion detector covering the safe, I think it's cheap insurance. YMMV.
