Apoc Wrote:I'd like to discourage someone attempting to break in, if I can.Not sure how effective it really is, especially with most break ins occurring during the day. Some experts say having lights on just helps burglars see what they are doing and doesn't deter someone anyway. I'm sure the truth is somewhere in the middle. My thought is if someone really wants to break into your house in a neighborhood full of potential witnesses, they're going to do it no matter what.

You don't have to sell me on the allure of a hobby like that though, I just have plenty of other distractions right now
