***£££ thieves!!!

Not every security technique applies in every situation, but I like and recommend a layered approach to crime prevention, combining physical barriers, surveillance, privacy, dogs and vigilance. Particular care should be exercised when a vehicle or home or other big ticket item is bought or sold. The best place for guns and cash is secured in a locked safe inside an occupied residence or on the immediate person of a security minded individual. I also recommend care when purchasing safes, jewelry, gold, etc. to take care not to leave an easy trail back to the address where the valuables will reside. If a safe must be delivered to a home (thus connected to the address), it is best to bolt it well to a concrete floor and have a locksmith twiddle with the inside of the lock while the owner changes the combination to create a combination that only the owner knows. We also favor gated driveways or communities, especially when vehicles cannot be garaged. Criminals are reluctant to enter gated areas where unknown dogs, surveillance systems, motion detectors, and alarms increase their risks.

The importance of diligence cannot be overstated. We have frequently written down license plate numbers that seemed fishy and taken photographs of unfamiliar vehicles and things that seemed out of place in our quiet neighborhood. Yes, it is usually nothing more than a new service provider or landscaper, but if it turns out to be more, we've got a lot of investigative leads for police.

I might also mention that surveillance will hardly ever raise a red flag when a home or business is being cased unless it is reviewed at regular intervals for things that seem out of place.

Just make sure that everyone in your small town knows that you are the last M Fr that they want to F with. Has worked well for me so far. Even had a Sheriffs Officer tell one of my neighbors(after an incident)that of all the people on the street you could F with you picked this guy?

That's one approach. I prefer flying under the radar. If I'm ever forced to shoot someone, there won't be folks telling the gov't that they knew I was itching to kill someone at the slightest provacation.

A layered approach to security also provides useful evidence and justification should force become necessary. Use of force will much more likely be ruled justifiable if the perpetrator has defeated physical barriers and alarms, eluded dogs, and is caught on surveillance video. Nothing like surveillance video to justify the use of force and show the perp to by lying in their version of events.

Of course, your attorneys should review surveillance video before other parties even know you have it. It is possible it might be in your best interests to lose it.

It was a bit more than "the slightest provocation". After a major disagreement I asked/told the guy not to step foot on my property. After that he proceeded to inform me that he would go wherever he wanted and do what he wanted. That is a direct threat and then he stepped onto my property while pointing his finger at me. Yep he ended up on the wrong end of a .45

Damn dude! I'm thinkin it's someone living around the neighborhood. Cops seem to think it's some kids in the apartments but can't catch em. Been here for almost all my life and never once had a problem. Wake up one morning and my truck is gone. They'll get caught sooner or later. Hoping it's sooner.

[CaptainBG]

Yea I live not far from the apartments have a lot of walkers at night, just worried about my hunting dogs in the back yard I kno those kind of people would like my bulldog!

[1fastmerc]

I'm sure with everything still on it. I know it's not a joking matter. I'm glad they found your truck. Any info on the shape it's in?

That's sucks.. But at least you have it back. Hopefully they can find the lowlifes

[BassYakR]

Glad you got it back man..... hopefully they find the pieces of **** that did it.... and they get more than a slap on the wrists.

[Matt G]

Glad they found it, but sorry to hear about the shape it's in. I don't understand why they steal it and then bang it up. Stripping it to sell the parts at least makes sense.

[Lake Chuck Duck]

Crooks found the pistol I'm assuming?

[duckman1911]

Glad you got your ride back TD. Sucks that it got damaged.

[grizzon30s]

I thought my truck was stolen once....turned out it was the repo man haha
