Damn bruh. You in ATL right?
Got robbed late 90s....place ransacked...books untouched....have never forgotten that lesson
"I.T.P."
I think the barricade & hand truck part is what people tripping on.
Sometimes I forget to lock a door, come home to it unlocked and clear the house room by room like I'm in Fallujah. But I'm on a Ranch so I aint got folks on top of me.
Serious about you needing to get a strap, but I get it, not everyone is comfortable with them and everything that comes along with owning one.
I actually think it's smart to not have one most times, don't wanna invite that energy. And you wanna make sure you exhaust all possibilities to avoid using one.
The movie I got the idea from is Conspiracy Theory...OLD Mel Gibson movie lol. I just remember he had all kinds of contraptions at his door so he could sleep better at night. It does help me, knowing I have sort of a home field advantage.
I have been thinking a while about getting a shotgun. I did used to have a Taurus handgun I got used from ADVENTURE OUTDOORS in Marietta (I think they're in Smyrna now) but it was stolen out of my truck before I could even practice with it.
I just shot a handgun for the first time about a month ago at a range in New Orleans...so yeah I'm quite inexperienced.
That's why my pops didn't get the police involved. He already been in trouble with them some years prior and they wouldn't stop fuckin with him afterwards.
So they came to your residence or office? That's wild if it's the residence.
Residence
Is it all connected to the same power sources? Also, you can buy cheap hidden cams that you can place in your house. Always two lines of detection. Infrared passive/active sensors, window BMS (balanced magnetic switch, basically a magnet, one of the most reliable sensors ever made) motion, and seismic. Cams can be POE (Powered over ethernet), wireless and/or battery operated.
For your most used avenue of approaches, you should have cameras and at least one back up pointing at them. Paths up to the house/door/windows. Try to put at the furthest point of annunciation outward. Meaning the furthest point you can see them break your detection line. After that you can put smaller cameras at the transition point like if they actually come in the door/window etc. Plugin cams into sockets (fake USB/clock cams, battery etc) Audible alarms can sometimes scare intruders away but not always. Take a diagram of your house. Depending upon the terrain and what's visible, go out 30 meters. This is your 30-meter CLEAR ZONE. Anything that breaks that to come in is probably an animal or an adversary. It's deliberately breaking your clear zone to come in. Do you have natural barriers that can deter/fix/track? Ie Is your place facing a water way, treeline, large ditch etc that borders the house or otherwise. For me, I have a treeline behind my house so if someone is coming they will 90% choose that area to come from. It'll delay them but it won't stop them. If they make it to my basement door, I got cams, break sensors and they still have to get into the barricaded door. Then come up the stairs. To die if I'm home, if I'm not there I'll record their every movement.
If you want to minimize the camera coverage emplace one on avenues of approach where a man/human has to transition. Hey it's nice to know what the pet fish is doing but why? Place in an arc where they have no choice but to cross the line of detection. For this draw a V, place the V outward. The bottom of the V is your sensor. Anything in that V from one line to the next is your detection zone. Do at least another cam upstairs/basement etc. Not the same power source though.
Look at that diagram of your house. Starting at the middle draw a concentric circle or dartboard, starting at the center draw a pinwheel outward. now, put a square around all of that. Inside that square draw, horizontal and diagonal lines to make at least 9 zones. Facing the 12 o'clock position emplace your valuables inside this diagram. These are your detection zones of the overall building. your detection zones should have redundancy, meaning if one line of detection is defeated the other kicks in or a backup comes online. Or it's already there. If your cams rely only on powered hardwire or the internet you use battery-operated cams and other mixes of sensors and cams that do not like that BMS or battery operated motion sensors.
This is called defense-in-depth and all-around defense. An assault from the roof unless you live in a highrise of the apartment is highly unlikely. So concentrate on transitioning from the ground up. Then do your hardening from inside. Use safe, fake safes, hidden areas to secure your valuables.
Biometrics (Safes, boxes) are extremely hard to defeat, also if a safe is over I'd say 100-300 pounds ain't nobody fucking with that. Are you gonna steal a heavy-ass paperweight you can't open? Probably not.
The next part is going to be hard. Take a look at yourself, your social media posts, your friends, family, and kids. Now take a look at their friends/associates. Did you announce your absence? Could it have been them? Your spouse/lady. Who really knows your layout, your setup? Do a little elicitation (Elicitation is a technique used to collect information that is not readily available and do so without raising suspicion that specific facts are being sought.) Did you chop it up with any old (people who know you but you really don't fuck with) friends lately? No, then maybe you were a target of opportunity. Thieves take advantage of complacency.
Lastly, you and maybe one other trusted person should try and defeat your system. At least monthly. Time it. How long does it really take to get in? What was reliable? What failed? What could you do better? 'What if' is how you should evaluate everything? What if 5 people drove up with a sledgehammer and truck to come through the front door?
A few items I use in addition to ring cams
This little fucker is awesome!

This cam was amazing until it rusted
Amazon product ASIN B073V6NNMG
This one is better, plus you can daisy chain em

Damn, bro you are so serious. I have all of these but didn’t set the alarm. Didn’t set the cameras because it was so windy. The alarms were alerting me every minute. Very annoying so I turned them off.Is it all connected to the same power sources? Also, you can buy cheap hidden cams that you can place in your house. Always two lines of detection.

Insurance is probably going to shell out about $30k. Not counting damage done to home. National insurance is incredible. When we had a small flood they redid our entire lower level. New walls, floors, painting,

Naw never had my home broken into but I did have my car broken into one time. I felt violated like a mutherfucker and wanted to sell my car. So I can understand how that shit must feel to have your home broken into.
Complacency, you right bro, I am. Imagine having to set trip wires and sensors for incoming enemies from a city away. I can see them with Long Range Thermal Infrared. Then call QRF ( quick reaction forces) or the hammers of God for a fire support mission. Or SRT or ART or a Fire Team manning a 240B. Hopefully not danger close. That’s only one of the jobs I did in the military. I wish a mf would.
i got got twice... shit happens.. nothing worth losing life over.. got wise.. put in an alarm and shit been sweet every since .. shit gonna happen.. im not going to war over some material shit that's easily replaceable. I've moved to a place of the haves... and i do expect a visit from the havenots at some point because that the nature of how it works. Yep I got the cameras and the alarms but that motivated havenot will get in at some point. jus saying.
One of the guys who tried to rob my spot tried to sue (my insurance) for the injuries sustained while on my property (dog mauling). We actually went to court and the judge said he watched the security footage 4 times, and laughed each time.
PSA: Stop neutering your dogs

At the time, I ran with a two Doberman set (Male and Female). Made money from selling about three litters of puppies, then retired them to my uncle who has a farm. I’m looking into running a Giant Schnauzer set next.
I can’t get into it too much, but my guess is that he had some college education, an ambitious attorney, and assumed that suing the insurance company would be an easy payday. He tried to say that he was invited as a guest, but the security footage (Which was provided to his dumb ass attorney) showed him and his buddy using a ladder to enter into one of the bedrooms.
I didn’t even need representation.
What a scumbag
Indeed! Lost so much time out of the day, and my dogs had to be tested for rabies. Not a good experience.
The value of the items taken hurts but nothing like the feeling of being violated. Never my home but my car once. totally my fault but still.
I'll tell you one thing, I have no sympathy for thieves. They get blasted, oh well.
**edit to add - dogs are great alarms and if you get an attack dog even better but there are legal ramifications so beware. Cameras, don't skimp, get the good ones. Firearms, are up to you but a Judge will stop a motherfucker like a brick wall.
But most importantly, be extremely careful who you allow into your home. And even what people can see. I walk around and I'm astounded at people with their curtains wide open showing their huge HDTV and living rooms etc. Fuck that. Get some one-way glass if you know what's good for you.

Glad no one was hurt. Get some polycarbonate glass on that new door too. Or at very least 3m treated glass.

Never got my crib broken into but I'd feel sorry for anyone who makes it to my bedroom. Either they'll be a big ass pencil, leaking out in multiple spots or trying to gather severed limbs that I politely relieved them of.
Dude is worse than jagu
I’m right here.
I can read what you wrote.
Take your potbelly and your grandpa and do like the Russians. Go fuck yourselves. lol
