I went to x10.com. and bought a small package that came with a wireless weatherproof motion detector, plug in receiver, and a plug in chime module for only $29.00 plus shipping. My neighbor was kind enough to plug the system inside his house and where it would be heard. X10 also sells a lot of very inexpensive servalance and monitoring things. Look around their web site. You’ll find a whole lot of ideas how to protect your home. They have systems that will automatically turn a camera on and record it to a VCR and or (I think) to your PC with software they sell.
On the subject about the police on the BI. For the amount of police there are, I’m surprised that there is as much crime as there is! If one police officer stops there are 2-3 more that will stop and assist. Yesterday afternoon I counted 8 police cars on the road between HPP and the dump! My friend Sanford (who has lived here for 20+ years) said that the cops don’t want to bother with the “small time stuff” because the families are so intertwined. When Sanford got robbed and when the cop came out to take a report he made the comment of a welding set that wasn’t taken “I wonder if that would fit in my truck” not knowing Sanford walked up behind him! It makes you wonder.
I don’t have any answers to make things better other than do what you can to protect your property with everything out there that is available and within the law. Guns? Maybe! What happens if you are at home when a robbery goes down?
