How to make your home burglar proof...for FREE.

[dixiegrrrrl]

No need for burglar alarms or Neighborhood watch... Take a hint from this guy.
(found on the web)

I've disconnected my home alarm system and de-registered from the Neighborhood Watch.
Now I've got two Pakistani flags raised in the front yard, one at each corner, and the black flag of ISIS in the center.

The local police, sheriff, FBI, CIA, NSA, Homeland Security, Secret Service and other agencies are all watching the house 24/7.

I've never felt safer and I’m saving $79.95 a month.

2. Unless you live near rednecks who will firebomb your house and scream anti-muslim rhetoric.

3. my house was burger proof

Just me and the dogs ate meat and we slept in the dog house .

4. The other option of course is to have nothing of value

I seem to be accomplishing that one pretty well myself!

6. That's my strategy as well.

I have an ancient TV that weighs about 500 lbs. I would be happy if someone carted it away.

No electronics (except my laptop), no jewelry, no cash in the house. The biggest PITA would be a broken door or window is someone broke in.

7. We had that tv!

HUGE monster.
Mr. Dixie won it in a poker game, so it became an instant heirloom. Hauled the damn thing across the continent when we moved..
the preciousssssss, don't ya know.

4 years later, we had cut the cord and ended tv watching.
That monster black eye started at us in the living room, collecting dust.

By a lucky stroke, when the roofer was over, I managed to "gift" him that tv, for one of his rental houses.
He and his helper cheerfully lugged it out of the house, convinced they had gotten a bargain in lieu of payment.

8. That was lucky!

I also have a console TV in a big wooden cabinet in the garage. When it was still usable, I put it on some free site. No one wanted it and the garbage guys won't even take it.


Anyone else stuck with one of these?

11. When we bought this house we got an abandoned wide screen TV.

Gee, what a bargain! Damn thing never worked, in spite of the seller's repeated assurances that it did. Finally, I gave it to our daughter's ex-boyfriend who liked to take stuff apart. I made her wait to kick him to the curb because I was too cheap to pay anybody to haul to haul it away. He came and got it a couple of days before she dumped him, and it worked out fine--I was rid of that POS TV, and she was rid of him!

12. That didn't work for me. I even left the door unlocked when I went shopping, and they broke the door

in anyway.

They got away with a faux pearl necklace in a velvet bag that I bought from Avon 30 years ago for $40 bucks,
and my piggy bank, with about $20 worth of coins that were unique or relatively rare but not of any great
value at all.

For some reason they had no interest in our greatest and only 'treasure': about I'd guess 1200-1500 world and US history books.

They left behind a broken door jamb that we can't afford to fix.

They also missed the $1400 (15 years ago value) diamond solitaire ring that was sitting just inches from the piggy bank
under a piece of paper. That was their real target: they were 'cash for gold' thieves looking for stuff to ship across the
country to be melted down and not traced. They got caught at the next house, which had a camera on the front yard,
and it caught a face and the car and the tag numbers. Unfortunately, I wasn't kept apprised of a court date. I think they
should pay to replace my door frame, at least.

i told my sister decades ago that if anyone came into my house to rob it, they'd shrug and walk out after a quick look.
She responded that they would leave money on her table after seeing her house. Cracked me up. I love that rejoinder.
