Most burglars around these parts would have no idea what the second
sentence means. A significant portion of them would have trouble with
the first sentence. An obvious lit-up camera, even a dummy one, would
have a greater deterrent effect.

I got robbed at least 3 times that I can recall in the apartments I
moved from to this house, and another couple times in the apartment
before that. Been here 49 months- no problems so far, knock on wood.
(Other than getting TP'd once by kids.) Semi-rural location in a
dead-end subdivision, and every 2nd or 3rd house having a dog, helps.

Oh, almost forgot- the final time my apartment got robbed, they were in
there at least an hour- long enough to decant 3 5-gallon jugs of pennies
into all my backpacks and duffel bags. Good thing they were too stupid
to see the 2+ quarts of dimes sitting on the shelf not 2 feet away.
