if you live in HPP I see only two viable options...if your serious about your home.
I think it's awesome that HPP has a neighborhood watch. But how useful are they? They are good in the sense that they are very visible around the neighborhood . But what is the average age of HPP's neighborhood watch? I'm willing to bet most are of a retirement age, and the "thieves" know it too! Do you really want your elderly neighbors getting hurt trying to stop an attempted break-in?
These home security companies are not an option for lower HPP either. If you live off of Beach Rd. it's roughly 3 miles from Hwy.130 to there. Takes a long time for the Keaau or Pahoa Police to respond to lower HPP and the crooks know too!
I truly believe "man's Best Friend" ,is your best option. Cagary offered up a breed I think is more in line with herding , not guarding! I highly suggest a Pit Bull or two. Nobody, and I mean nobody wants to see if your Pit Bull is up to a challenge. Nobody wants to risk getting a 1000 pd. pressure bite to their "junk", over stolen property. Now if you have a hard time getting close to a "Pit Bull", perhaps I may suggest a second option... A "Rhodesian Ridgeback". There is a breeder on Molokai that has a great line of Ridgebacks there.
I never had one break-in at HPP,and I tribute that to having Pit Bulls.
