I grew up in a small farming community; Most pretty much everyone who lives in the area operates dairy farms, peach orchards or vineyards.
There was never a need to lock the doors of our homes, garages, garden sheds or vehicles; I played with all of the city teenagers.
My friend and I had barbecues as well as picnics as well as invited all of the families on our street, and unluckyly, as the years have gone by, there has been an increase in crime. There have been a variety of cut ins during the middle of the morning. It always involves many people, kicking in the door when the house is most likely to be empty. They go through the house as quickly as possible as well as grab everything they can. They target small electronics, jewelry, money as well as power tools. My spouse as well as I still live in this same town. My friend and I operate many hundred acres of grapes that are made into jelly, jam, grape juice as well as wine. The year-round repair of the fields often keeps us out of the house from dawn to dusk. When I arrive home after dark, I don’t want to be afraid to step inside, however locking the doors isn’t enough. My friend and I can’t have a dog, because my buddy and I don’t have the time to care for an pet, however our solution is a home security system. Our house is now outfitted with motion-sensitive lights, surveillance cameras, automated door locks as well as sensors on all of the windows. If anyone steps onto the property, opens a door or window or breaks the glass, an alarm goes off. My spouse as well as I are immediately alerted. If my buddy and I don’t supply a password, the local authorities are notified. I feel that the alarm is enough to terrify off any intruders, but plus, my buddy and I have signs on the home indicating that my buddy and I have a security system. The majority of break-ins are prevented by the presence of the signs.
