I live in a good neighborhood, but it is accessible to anyone and it's not far off a major commercial corridor. Due to a burglary years ago when we lived in another house, the backyard is open to viewing from the street (we live on a corner). There's a street light across the street from our backyard and one in front of our house. We have three sets of motion-activated lights and a monitored alarm system (complete with a sign announcing that). None of this guarantees security, but it is enough to encourage the average burglar to go somewhere else. And, I don't advertise that I own guns. My family and a couple of friends know I own guns and that's it. No reason to waive a flag.
When gone, we don't have a fake TV, but we do have timers on some of our lights.
