Even if you cannot afford monitoring, get a real loud siren type alarm. Total around $1800. I did this on a property of mine that I am only at half of my time. After I got an old ford tractor stolen. Fishing and skiing keeps me a little sane. |

Many companies such as 3m have window films that prevent the window from shattering. Just do a good search on "3M Safety & Security Window Films" and a bunch of information pops up. I saw it on the discovery channel it looked pretty cool. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 835886 United States 12/07/2009 08:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My dad told me a story about his stocky cattle dog and a coon. Dog weighs about 60-70 pds. He said they fought for around 45 mins and the coon got away. He said that the coon was a hell of a fighter and he has more respect for them now. He was intersted in the outcome, so he just let them go at it. |

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory mentioned, which states that this has already happened. |

Cattle dogs are tough dogs, I've had a few of my own, but even I wouldn't try that one out. The only reason my dog suceeded is because she is a 100 lbs of thick, bone-headed Rottweiler, can shake her prey with incredible force and has no fear of pain. She destroyed a skunk in under a minute, and I've had a boxer shake a skunk and not harm it at all. I didn't plan either fight...she nailed them in the dark in the yard. Coons can kill dogs! :orly444: Kletos, Eklektos & Pistos |

(OP) User ID: 418932 United States 12/07/2009 09:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This guy installed a tornado siren as a burglar alarm at his shop... Quoting: TARDISOh, yeah the neighbors would love that! Very efficient, though...I can't imagine someone staying inside to steal anything. Lots of good ideas, however...I'll be Googling some info on all the suggestions. I would love to have a nice camera system for the whole property with night vision...then I could see if someone is at the gate, or if there are varmints in my veggies. I don't like lighting up the whole place...I do use motion detection on the shop, and solar around my house...damn neighbors just have to keep a mercury vapor streetlight at their barn on all night, and a neighbor on the hill with a double flood light, argghh...I hate light pollution! It makes it difficult to star watch. Kletos, Eklektos & Pistos |

User ID: 710374 United States 12/07/2009 09:41 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I used to work for ADT and most people don't know you can go out an buy a security system just like they would install on your own and install it yourself. I would recommend the self contained, wireless GE Simon 3 system. You can set up door, window, and motion detectors. If you have a phone line in the shop you can set it up to call you and when you answer, will tell you what sensor is triggered. You can set it up as a silent alarm so it will call you and you can call the Police yourself, or respond yourself. Of course you can still have it call you and it has a 120db siren. You can probably get a keypad and all the sensors on Ebay for a pretty good deal. |

User ID: 835692 United Kingdom 12/07/2009 09:59 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OPie, forget the rest. This is what you need... Zec 12:3 And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it. Psa 9:17 The wicked shall be turned into hell, [and] all the nations that forget God. Jer 6:2 I have likened the daughter of Zion to a comely and delicate [woman]. STOCK UP NOW. You should have at least 6 months worth of basics for every member of your household. Stay away from crowds when trouble starts, do not forget water storage, tobacco is worth more than gold or silver, and be kind to hungry children. |
