I lost a pet, and tons of stuff when I left before, and now I feel scared when I leave home. I use to leave the tv and radio on for the pets until I came home, but last time they killed a pet. It is strange too, and its scary too, and I'm wondering. I wonder if they have intalled spy wear or cameras, don't have a clue. Any ideas?

Here are a few things to consider:



* There's almost no chance that they installed bugs or cameras. This requires *very* sophisticated equipment that the typical home burglar doesn't have. Unless they were police or government agents, that won't have happened.



* If you have a large dog, that's a very good deterrent for most burglars.



* Failing that, you should install some kind of security camera or alarm system- there are plenty of stores that sell these (do a bit of googling). Make sure that the security system is there and is obviously visible to a potential intruder. Most thieves are very opportunistic, and if a house appears to be protected in any way, they will likely leave it alone and target somewhere that doesn't have any protection.

I am kinda confused by your question have you talked to the police?

Sad...its horrible that people resort to breaking and entry and killing pets is so unnecessary...Our cars and garage were robbed and i felt not scared but MAD that people must take and ruin others things because they can't provide or work for their own needs...anyways before I rant on and get off topic...I recommend getting ADT security system or automatic lights that turn on periodically with a set timer or motion lights. Or cameras...Really anything like that should make a burglar think twice.

A cheap system---- they have alarms that you secure on windows and doors when triggered they beep..you can turn these on and off when you leave and they sell them at many different stores...i even saw a cheap version at the dollar store

I don't know how long you are planning on being gone for, but when you leave for a long period of time; such as a week for business or vacation, you should always have a friend house sit and look after your house for you.



It's simple. If you have a good friend whom you trust, ask him or her if they can stay at your house for the week while your away. I've done this is the past for my friends and they've always been glad to do it for me as well.

You need to move to a neighborhood where your neighbors would never even think about doing something like that. And also, if your neighbors can break into your place to cause mischief, a criminal can too.

in basic terms thinking. what's so specific approximately your van that this guy keeps coming lower back? needless to say in my own assessment you be conscious of this guy fairly plenty, a minimum of something attaching you from him or vice-versa. i assume you and your community have not got protection rigidity first of all or an eye fixed patrol. Why no longer commence now? YOUR query- what are you able to do approximately this guy? needless to say by using now you have the video and the define of him fairly plenty by using now. i do no longer think of he would be lower back now that your van is seen to be junk. What else ought to he probably scouse borrow there, a stereo extremely worth $a hundred purely? i assume the subsequent time he comes, he will torch your van for reliable. Your neighbor that reported which you load your shotgun and finally anticipate him to return as quickly as lower back is seen to be a legal in some sense. it extremely is like homicide. and clearly you hate to flow to reformatory purely for this, the only suggestion I actually evaluate is purchase a dart gun. Yup the gun use in maximum zoo protecting for animals. it extremely is a few kind of sedative dart gun to make wild ones to flow to sleep with the intention to flow them to a diverse place. the only project is the place interior the international are you able to purchase one? you need to commence with the zoo itself in case you like and in case you do offered one wait till this guy lower back as quickly as lower back and dad him out and contact the police as quickly as he's sedated and checklist him. i think of you solved between the secret on a thank you to handle this project of yours. The police could no longer cost on what? the guy isn't ineffective. he's snoozing like slightly one....gorilla.

Have you considered Jerry-Rigging your windows and door?
