For anyone who's interested, today on www.woot.com their deal of the day is a four camera infrared surveillance system for $149. You can even see what's going on via the internet or a mobile phone if you're not home. Thought it might be interesting for those who are worries about security.

Good point, although my gut feeling is the AP criminal element probably doesn't visit here. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, oakdorf oakdorf@... wrote: hinge - careful what you post on the 'net info about your downstairs neighbor (she, works night...) you going to go with fake

It won't hurt. You might want to stage a vigil of sorts, like a watch evening. Secure everything you can and just stage a watch night with cell phone for 911, flashlights with a large beam; things like that. I don't encourage gun use, but in your situation, I wouldn't blame you for having

Motion lights would scare the bejesus out of the little hellions! I had them installed on all four corners of our house, when all but one of the kids had left home. My youngest daughter saw someone looking in her room, while we were out one night, but our German Shepherd didn't bark! Police

We actually have motion sensor lights on both sides of the house and in this case it did nothing to stop them. And this took place at around 9 pm. We're going to put up security system signs and maybe add 2 dummy cameras. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, 2fast4u sharon_b283@... wrote:

Security system was my first improvement when I bought. It is actually not that expensive and about $23/month to monitor. Also, I think you can buy the non-monitored kind pretty cheaply. Makes a loud noise at least! --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, hinge98 hinge98@... wrote: We actually

Thanks for the info. Since I rent I couldn't do this without my landlord getting involved, and my gut feeling is he wouldn't be willing to pay for the installation, so I'm going to try the passive route starting with signs and see what happens. --- In AsburyPark@yahoogroups.com, fancypaaantz

That is so scary!!! I had my alarm go off in the middle of the night and it scared the crap out of me. I am so happy I have back up- Hobie the big dog! But be thankful someone called the cops. That is the #1 thing. Just like the slogan: if you see something, say something. --- In
