How far would you go to stop intruders to bash you and your family in your house?
I just installed a perimeter alarm that will let me know if an intruder is around the house (sensors are outside the windows) before he can break in. I will have some time to be sure that I am ready to receive the bastard the way it deserves! Trust me I will make him squeal like a pig with a baseball bat up his bottom or a 12 gauge in his nostrils! But I won't get bashed…… I hope![}:)]
Call me red neck if you want!
I think you will spend the rest of your life chasing cats and birds and other wildlife around your yard with a baseball bat.
Those things just go off all the time for no reason.
)! It is from a reputable alarm company and I have a full refund warranty if I am not happy with the setup!
Well I hope yours does work, felix. One of my neighbours has an indoor alarm system also installed by a reputable company. Damn thing goes off all the time. Day, night, you name it. Nobody pays any attention to it so it's pretty pointless turning the stupid thing on.
I had friends who kept loaded weapons and baseball bats and stuff around for protection from home invasion. But, of course, they were criminals, or hung out with criminals.
Are you sure you are not a criminal?
The same guys had stories of fist fights over minor road rage incidents, occasionally implements were used, but only the other vehicle.
Apart from a few incidents of the very rich (and possibly dodgey), I have never heard of an ordinary person having a home invasion or anything like that.
BTW You don't want to claim a discount on your insurance because you have an alarm system. If you forget to set it and you get robbed then your insurance is void.
I never set my alarm anymore. Apart from false alarms, if you go away for a few days and it goes off, nothing would be a greater incentive to thieves than seeing a flashing blue light running for ages without attention.
So cats and dogs with mirrors and spay to show the infared can still break in....I would be worried
Mirrors won't work... there is a sender and a receiver!
Forgot to mention that my alarm will send me a SMS if any sensor is trigged and I can call it and interact with the system over the phone, I can ever tell if someone is ringing the door bell and answer it over the phone talking to the visitor making him believe someone is home!
There's no trouble in my hood, but I recently moved my cricket bat into the robe, for easier access on a rainy day! 
Yeah everyone should have the means to defend themselves against those who break in to their home. If a few violent home invaders met a violent end at the hands of the resident it might give their contemporaries a few second thoughts.
Unfortunately in this society if you defend yourself you are likely to be charged by the police.
how does it go if there are 200 youth of the parish gate crashing a party next door? do you confront them or lock yourself in and wait till the damage is over. the youth are all intoxicated and ready for a riot!
I always go out the back, through the garage.
Mrs always goes out the front.
Well one day she told me she lost her keys and they were probably at work, so I had to leave the key outside somewhere.
After a couple days she finally said she couldn't find them.
I took the trash out and walking back in I found the keys in the door... ~5 days after her losing them. (I'd taken the trash out before but didn't notice)
I also once left my keys in the mailbox for 2 days... the mailbox is on a footpath.
I sleep like a baby or an adult on GABA a night... there's no chance I'd wake up and be OK to use a baseball bat if I had an intruder.
Bad news.... last night in Perth 2 families got bashed after breaking and ofenders left with some cash (reported in the news) how many more go unreported?
Last Monday night my work colleague heard some noise in his master bathroom went to check found couple of guys trying to get in by forcing the window open! He shouted at them and they ran to hell leaving behind a jacket and some tools (good for forensic). They had the time to break into his car before and stole ID cards and stuff from it. Cops came in ½ hour, did what they had to do and left. After the cops departure a car full of **** for brain in da hood stop in front of his house shouting abuse and telling him they have his ID and will take care of him…….WTF????? Call cops again with rego.... car reported stolen!
Result the wife and kids are terrorised and wont go back in the house before he puts safety screens to all windows! PS he is no criminal!
So what do you do?? Sit back and give them your cash next time?
Welcome to WA!!
I never realised how ****ed WA was until this forum. I'm serious.
We've been robbed on the Gold Coast twice and both times they left a note and a box of chocolates.
