A rash of Home Burglaries in my neigborhood.
In the last 40 days there have been 4 break-ins in the afternoon. The thieves go right up to the front door, use a crowbar and force the door open past the striker plates and deadbolts.
I'm really concerned about security here. I live in a condo association (with the usual draconian rules about not changing the outside appearance of the buildings). I have an alarm system but I can't afford monitoring. I always turn it on when I leave and the siren is very loud indeed and I have one or two caring neighbors. I've already driven 6 inch screws into the striker plates to replace the 1 inch ones that came with the place.
I'd love to have battery powered (blackout ready) wireless hidden cameras and improved deadbolts. I'd also like to set my alarm system to call my cell phone (since it's not calling the monitoring place) cause I can get back to shoot the perps (CWP glock30 .45acp) and solve everyone's problem before the police could get there.
I don't know, maybe I'm just being a worrier. My neighbor lady ( mid 40's overweight dirty lady) caught the perps in her condo. She basically chased them out with a broom but didn't catch them. There are two of them and they are Hispanic males wearing hooded sweatshirts. (almost a cliché around here).
