Just a Theory

WINJA's girlfriend is scarier.

WINJA's mother is truly terrifying.

As an update, X had a mate visit the neighbours last night (so there goes my theory in this case). The gear is sitting in their lounge. They have no curtains. I'm struggling to come to terms with the idiocy of these pricks! Or is it just their "who gives a fuck" attitude?

And the best part? Instead of going straight back to the cops, or getting a bunch of the lads to go round, X is trying to work out how to get their things back with the least chance of reprisals....

I can come and help. I know a few "persuasive techniques"

A large dog with a good "fuck off" bark is worth ten alarms in my opinion. Monitored alarms are a joke and a waste of money. You'd be better off just having one of those boxes with the blue lights on the outside of your house so it looks like you have an alarm.

Sounds about right, we had to priveledge of paying our security company twice - once for a false alarm and once when the the place had been burlged (past tense by the time they showed up). Hey, at least the security guy made sure the gates were locked when he left...

And you can't teach a monitored alarm to catch a frisbee or swim out through a set of breakers to retrieve a stick.... nice!

I prefer the ones with stealth... hide till it's too late - then bail the bastards up in the kitchen or something.

At the risk of repeating myself, or repeating myself, they should also have a healthy appetite, and a taste for testicles des hommes

That'd fix the bastards (literally too)

I've a small (ish) German Shepard cross Huntaway and a high fence. They wont see the dog but they'll hear the impressive bark and growl he can give out.

As for burgular alarms, as Jim says - you can break into any house if you really want to. However an opportunist thief will avoid any house with an alarm, even a false one, in order to move onto easier prey.

Scum.

Any dog with a good savage bark is a good deterent.

Hidden camera facing the driveway is a good way to see who visits (won't stop the burg but you'll soon see if it IS the neighbours - and revenge is a dish best served cold)
Of course the burgs also know most people will claim insurance and buy NEW gear, so a few weeks later the low-lifes pay another visit...

According to my parole officer, theivery is (unlike thuggery) an equal opportunity career choice and we shouldn't sexually disciminate. So what's ya dog trained to do in the absence of said dangly bits i'd like to know?

Using a stapler gun, staple the area closed?

My cousin got burgled (he is, shall we say, a rough diamond).They took his brand new video recorder minus the remote,and loads of other stuff. Some weeks later, after his insurance had paid out, he got wind of where his stuff was and paid a nice friendly visit with said remote in hand. Told the woman who answered that he was sure she'd be needing the remote, pushed passed her into the lounge, ripped video recorder out of the wall and proceeded to jump all over it. As he is a pretty big dude, it kinda trashed it. He gave her the remote and walked out, feeling very satisfied, justice had been done.

We get lots of calls from security companies who monitor alarms. Usually they tell us about 45 mins to an hour after the event, by which time there is shit all chance of catching anyone at or decamping the scene. Then you get security guards that are gung ho and run all around the scene in the hope of catching the bad guy but in reality simply screw up any chance of the dog getting a track away from the scene. A telling off by a grumpy dog handler is not a very pleasant experience for an over eager security guard

I've seen an offender dragged out of a house by a dog that had a hold of his nuts. It was a beautiful sight, one that neither myself nor the individual involved will ever forget.
