Someone tried breaking into my garage.....

[68C15]

in addition the the clay pigeon idea include 3 or 4 pairs of big hunting boots by the door. have an engine swinging from a tree, leave the grass tall, and hook up 4 or 5 chain type dog leashes out front.

I use ties downs on my garage door and steel pins, and have bars over my windows and a steel plate behind where my dead bolt is, best i can do for now, i hope in a couple months to have a security system.

Here in Colorado we have a "make my day law". If you catch someone entering your property unlawfully, you are allowed to use any necessary force to stop them. Including shooting them. Sorry to hear about the attempt. We had my wife's Jeep broken in to at our old house and I didn't sleep good for weeks.

i have "adt" security system and... "adb" a double barrel.! shotgun.

[fabguy]

Claymore's would work great for intruders too.

Thats it im moving, i like that law, here you can get in jail if you do any harm to a thief, all you can do really if you catch them in the act is to ask if they want a cop of coffe.



on the street where i live in the last 20 years we have never had a breakin

dogs are proberly a reason why

[motornut]

interesting video......don't use tint,use paint,much like a car the tint will hold the glass so it's not as noisy breaking....

also heard the pin pads can be defeated by running a box cutter blade behind them.

going away for the weekend?
lock the rollers to the track useing sliding locks that go threw holes drilled in the roller tracks ......and i know someone used key locks in there too,you could pound them off but thats noisy(Said it keeps the kids from leaving it wide open too,they have to use the side door)

This is my portable burglar alarm....it sometimes gives off false alarms,but it is learning mode,
and with those ears seems to hear everthing lol

at least when i shoot,i just aim 3 feet up from the bark

[ERASER5]

"3 feet up from the bark." That's funny right there!

[foxhole]

my buddie installs this 3m security film stuff and it seems to work pretty well. my girlfriend community center used to get broken into all the time but since the got this stuff put on i don't have to drive her down twice a week in the middle of the night to secure the place.

There really ain't much you can do...

Motion lights, camera, maybe even consider purchasing a firearm?

Thank God I've only had two problems where someone stole a few pieces of firewood before I came running with my Benelli and when someone stole gas, they left a note and 20$ though. I Guess it ain't stealing then lol.

Any window in a garage lets people see what you got i would tint them or something.I have a great dane and clean every gun i own on my front porch.When you own a few assault rifles and some other big guns most won't think about breaking in.Something else get some nra stickers put them on every door and your cars.

[screwballl]

without the remotes, garages (without windows) are actually very hard to get into without making massive amounts of noise and waking everyone up in a 2 block radius... the only exceptions are garages without a garage door opener then it is fairly easy.

Another consideration is if you do have a garage door opener chances are your newer vehicle has a buit in remote too. unless you park it in the garage don't program it. Breaking into your shop is as simple as busting out you car window and pressing a button.

I was also wandering about that as well. That sucks that you had some jackass try to get in. It kinda sucks but my buddy used a lil bit of tint on his windows so people have a hard time seeing the inside of it. Had another friend who used some black spray paint and put a light coat on the windows! I would look into an alarm for the garage. Motion sensor lights are nice but a pain cause they always go off when you don't need them too lol. I got a big Rottie with a loud bark and a baseball bat no big problems yet Most everybody up here owns a gun haha so yea! I think you can only use deadly force if you fear for you or your family's safety!

I rarely park my cars outside, but my homelink is wired so that it only works in "run", so no worries there.

when I was a kid my dad had six motorcycles! he was a hard core racer. moto/ desert/ flat track/any thing he could race every weekend! any way, one night some dirt bags tried to break into our garage! My dad heard something and was waiting for them. one guy pulled our garage door open and held it wile the other slid under the door. My dad (former boxer) let the guy come in & turned on the lights and gave the dirt bag a beat down he would never forget! I woke up to the police dragging this guy to the cop car k-od & bleeding! the cops told my dad " in the future call us and don't handle matters like this your self" My dad is gone now but this post made me think of him and how he was so old school. RIP PADDY! cheers, Pat

I have found cheep home made motion sensor usually does the trick, we originally did it to keep deer away from the vineyard but works great for people too. Just run a fishing line round the perimeter through a bunch of them little eye screw things in the side of the building and stakes or what have you and run it up to a rat trap. drill bout a 5/8 hole in the trap and silver solder a nail on the snappy part. put a shotgun shell in the trap and set it. if the wire gets tripped the shell goes off. Makes a bang, shot has no backing so it can't go far. just kinda goes bang. Should scare em off, works good on the deer

[daverod]

Get yourself a couple of these you won't have any break in problems. They work better if you leave their balls on.

I have a couple small pinhole security cameras that can be mounted in anything. They are wireless and will be viewed from my pc. They also record any and everything to the harddrive. I am looking to buy a house right now, once I find my house, I will get an ADT system and also mount these cameras around the house. If someone tries their luck I'll have them on disk. I hate a theif as I'm sure evryone here does to. I hope you catch those scumbags.

Not to be a jerk but what happens when someone breaks in your house and they steal your pc along with whatever else? get yourself a dvr and put it in a locked box secured to the wall.

Thats why there will be a hidden room in my house where my system will be. I'm a carpenter by trade with a background in government security (hidden things). Can't say anymore, probably said to much already.
