Can't believe it happened to me.
Eric Krewson:
In my lifetime I have had two cars stolen(never recovered), house broken into once(they were in the house and ran out the back door when I came home), car broken into twice and had a brand new 20 Merc stolen off my fishing boat. Sure leaves you with an indescribable hopeless feeling when you get victimized. Now we can blast them in Bama, in the house or in the yard, they changed the law a few years ago to read that you don't have to retreat if possible or feel threatened.
One other thing, I clear shooting lanes with a pair of 36" geared Fiskars bypass pruners, an absolutely amazing cutter. I just throw them in the bed of my truck because I use them so often. Went to get them the other day and they were gone, apparently snatched out of my truck bed by some lowlife. I could have had a senior moment and misplaced them but I don't think I did.

Not a lot of items were stolen...but what was stolen were the most valuable items in the apartment.
I'll be ready next time. I'm gonna make sure my bedroom window will never be broken into again...Primitive traps are in order.
El Destructo:
AZN....don't get caught setting any kind of boobytrap.....this is considered Premeditated...and will land your ass in a penitentiary quicker than shit....believe me....protecting oneself...or ones property is a god given right in my book....but you will be hard pressed to have a jury see your setting traps a means of protecting yourself....jmo
NTD:
What EL D said! Most states have laws against boobytraps. Bar your windows and get a gun. A good dog helps too. You don't want one that barks at everything though or you'll just tune it out.

Just found out this morning that some farmers in our county had over $100,000 worth of irrigation pipe stolen last week. People are getting desperate for their next high I guess. Better bolt everything down.
