I found out the hard way that crocodiles and such don't last long if there are any Southeast Asians in the neighborhood.
I got a lot of giggles from this thread!
Thank you!
My back yard has been inspected by the police, and they approved our security measures. All non lethal but designed to be a barrier to rapid entry or egress. I also use a large number of motion sensors on separate channels, giving me an idea of where any intruders come in.
I NEVER leave my home after dark from August 15th, through November 15(roughly).
For the first fifteen years I grew, our only security was silence. No one knew we grew, until our son brought home a kid who recognized it.
We were ripped twice, after that. Fortunately, neither group of thieves were up to carrying away everything.
Since I coated my greenhouses with Chainlink and strung barbed wire in many directions, I'm outside before anyone gets close to the plants.
Keep in mind that I know where everything is, and have done things in a way that allows me to move freely around the garden, but would make a person trying to be stealthy, extremely unhappy.
