It's Ripper season folks..

Live In michigan. Fully compliant card holder and grow space. Yeah very worried about being on the radar screen. The smell is strong and skunky. Alot of construction crews working within view this week all of a sudden. Replacing water lines to every house. The dogs have been amped up all day.

That's truth right there. A night off to them is punishment, not a vacation.

Funny story I forgot. The kids were waiting for the bus one day playing with our dog. A neighbor drove up to say hello. Our dog went between my son and the car, blocking him, and gave this eerie growl. The neighbor was afraid until my son patted him and said ok. Then it was all tail wags, bright eyes, and perky ears.

Amazing breed. But they are happiest working.

If I get another dog it's very likely to be a German Shepherd.

My mom tells this story about me and a very smart dog; when I was maybe 2 years old, we lived in Germany. Our housemates- an older couple who owned the home- had a long haired German Shepherd and she'd just had a litter.

One evening they were in the kitchen upstairs chatting when the dog came to them, started whining and going back and forth between them and the top of the stairs. My mom says she laughed and said it sure seemed like she was doing a 'Lassie' and trying to get them to follow her- so, just for fun, they did.

They followed the dog downstairs and into the laundry room where her litter was-

And there I was, sitting in the basket, holding one puppy by the tail and another by a back leg, while they were crying and wailing at the mistreatment.

Clearly, the dog had come upstairs to get my mom to come deal with her own damn puppy already!

LOL

. . . . . . . . .I like pit bulls just as much as any other person can I suppose but there are far better and more alert breeds out there that have stood the test of time. Chow Chow and Japanese Akita are up on the top of the list if you want a fast dog that's more than capable of handling a thief. Both breeds tend to go into strait up guard dog mode as soon as the sun goes down. Hyper alert. If you had a doggy door both would end up going out and patrolling at night several times on their own. Teach em to actively go out with audio alarms and your wannabe thief would regret hopping over your fence the instant that thing goes off. They'll have a dog hellbent on murdering them attempting to do just that.
As funny as it sounds a pair of Corgi are great audio alarms and can be pretty vicious if they go after a stranger. They circle strafe in pairs at a full run. Those dogs will go off on a bag blowing down the street.

I have to agree on the Chow. I had one when I lived in town, and no one came in the yard unless I let them in. Daddy was even scared of her. That oily hair is hell on furniture though. Leaves everything black.

I saved myself a lot of paranoia by buying a Reolink Argus. It's a wireless camera with motion detection. If someone moves within the set range, then it immediately sounds off with an alarm and alerts my phone, and I can view what's going on, and even listen and talk through the camera. Only $100 too!

I now sleep through every night again! :lol:

That's a nifty camera. How far is the range on it before it starts filming and everything? It's small enough that a nice coar of paint would keep it hidden.
I've spent a nice chunk of change on trail cams.

Trail cams don't last for shit. I've never used them in my grow, but my wife likes to look at the wildlife at my food plots, and it seems like I buy one every damn year.

It's got the good kind of motion detection that ignores pets, so only trips on human movement. The angle of detection is 140 degrees, and you can set the detection distance to 13 feet, 20 feet or 30 feet. You can install a microSD card and it will record when motion is detected.

They even have a wacky skin that you can put it in to disguise it as an orange giraffe! :lol:

Would be perfect if the range was for a couple miles for me.. Costco peeps! I'll check the reo, see if it has the range I need.

Booby traps can land ur ass in jail.

Going back awhile but there was a young grower not to far from me that rigged up a shotgun bobby trap. It went off as planned and shot a Cops backside.
Shooting a cop is shooting a cop. He get 20 years all up if memory serves.

In the bush it's just like the old saying, finders keepers, losers weepers. That is why I plant so many patches.

You guys don't have guns right ? I think I read that the government spent 500 million to buy them and then the criminals got bold because no one was armed.

No we have guns. We just have some sensible laws and licensing requirements. Most of my friends have guns and I shoot on occasion.
And the other part id say is false. Gun crime is fairly low here. Hefty penalties that a smart criminal would not want.
Rob some ones house and get maybe 6 months community service unless your a habitual offender. Add armed robbery and then the multitude of gun violations and your going away for awhile.

I wonder how your burglary rates compare with other countries?

yea, maybe... but we don't have the prison populations you do..lol.
if someone gets caught doing a crime like that then I don't think there life needs to be ruined for one mistake. I know I'm no saint. Sometimes it takes a scare and your back on track.

If someone wants to break into my house ill help them carry the Tv and computer out and ask them to come back in 3 years.

be interesting to see.
I live semi rural in a rural state and we haven't had a burglary in our street in at least 10 years. I'm sure we would of had one in the suburb. My cars are always unlocked at home in the driveway sometimes with the keys in them.
So its not something I'm up on.
I did live in Sydney and got burgled two or three times (in the same week..lol). That was karma they stole a Patek Phillip watch that I got off the back of a truck in London worth lots of tens of thousands of dollars....
