[quote:Ol' Scratch 84726946:MV81Mjg0NjQ4Xzk3Mzk3NjI5XzU0ODgxOTdB] We had some windows on our garage that were bugging me, since somebody could look in and see all of my stuff, so I taped newspaper over them but I left a little section where a person could peek through. Inside the view when peeked, you could only see the back of a filing cabinet which was backed up to the glass. On which I had written, "Death Awaits." One day we came back from work, and in the snow, there were footprints to the peeking window. Somebody got the message. [/quote]

1.
Always leave one or 2 lights on, preferrably the kitchen/bathroom.
2.
Leave the TV on (with NEWS channel) in the living room with lights off. The TV light flashing in the room will suggest someone home.
3.
(if it's a house) movement sensor Floodlights installed outside.
Burglars will always hit the home with the least risk. Dark, no lights, no sound.
Note:
having cameras do not prevent burgalries.
It's easy for them to hide their identity.
They are good to have if you see something from a remote place on your device you can call the police; but camera's only make YOU feel safe.
Making it appear someone is home deters criminals to go elsewhere...
tip: never try to catch a burglar unless you ARE armed.
and be prepared to use it.
If you do manage to catch one, don't K!11 him that will only land you in jail in most states...just tie him up (after the beating)
