Hi,

Careful where you keep your anti intruder devices. As far as I'm aware if you do serious damage, and it's brought to light that you keep the weapon close by for that exact reason, you can find yourself in a bit of hot water.

On topic. Living in Perth, apart from tens of attempted and successful break ins (all in flats, so they know there's no dog), I remember living in a rear loaded duplex, so a very long driveway. I always thought this would be enough to deter would be thieves. They were in the garage, cutting through the roof of my old man's Jag, to steal the removable head unit (XJK - horrible unit - probably a bit flash at the time though?). The dog from the front house awoke, went mental, and they sprinted out the drive dropping the stereo near the front of the house.

So, that was dog : 1, thief : 0.

Cheers,
Nik
