I hear Ya; In that case be very careful.
I live in Florida and have a Spanish looking house with arch ways and all.
I have installed burgler bars in the arch ways and over the windows,
I also have a 8 foot fence around the property and a 16 cammera
servallance system. Then we have and raise Boxers then last but not least
guns for anyone that may invade our casa uninvited.
Since the economy has taken a tumble the home invasion rate has jumped.
I am hopping to beat it back down a little bit.
