    Good security addresses all the issues. An alarm system, plentiful
lighting, dead bolts, security bars on doors and windows, cut back bushes
and trees, nosy neighbors, and as a last resort, being well armed. My alarm
makes plenty of noise in an attempt to scare off an intruder. It would take
the law 45 minutes to get here so there isn't much point to a silent alarm.
By the time they arrived, it would be all over. The thief would either be
gone or would be dead.
