Great, so your neighbors can stay up all night listening to it bark? What happens when you take the dog out for a walk or vacation? What happens when someone shoots your dog? The house where i used to live on 46th (near liz) had bars on the windows. The attached twin did not. The attached twin was burglarized several times in the period when we lived there, as were several other houses on the block. Our house was not once robbed during the 8+yrs when we lived there, though former tenants had burglarized a couple of times prior to the bars being installed. We had on several occasions found people snooping around the alley, but the iron seemed to keep them out. If you have an unsecured house in university city with windows on the ground or second floor you will probably be robbed at some point, its really a sad fact of living in the area.. Although there are plenty of fires in west philadelphia, there are arguably more thefts, shootings and assaults. $0.02, __Michael. -- .. Michael Jastremski .... ..
