There's been a few thefts in the neighborhood and I've been thinking of tightening up security at the shop and jobsite. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have seen the Dewalt system. Does anyone have that?

I was thinking of just buying some components and setting something up. A few motion detectors and 2 or 3 air horns should work.

Does anyone have a few gps locators in their tools? I had thought of installing a few and linking them to my computer or phone.

I have the DeWalt system with GPS.

I am the only one who has triggered it. It is set to turn on at 6:00pm and turn off at 6:00am, M-F and secured all day on the weekends.

If I move my trailer after hours my cell is ringing telling me the alarm has been tripped. When I first installed it if the wind blew hard it would set it off so I had to adjust the sensitivity of it.

I make them wear rubbers.

I just make sure they are at home with me safe in my trailer, Burban, or the garage.

Plus, the police around here can find something that is stolen in like 45 minutes, they have a bit of time on their hands.

Sounds like I need to get two dogs.

Attatched to my shop is the dog kennel, about 1/2 acre. So if you want my tools, u will have to get past 3 dogs.

If I'm home, then it's 3 dogs and my shotgun. LOL :thumbup:

 

[slowforthecones]

a dog (komondor)... very large livestock guardian dog. Works well for protecting me, my truck and tools. Just gotta give him a big bucket of water and some shade on the truck bed.

So if you're not home and I want to steal your stuff all I need is $10 worth of ground beef and $8 worth of rat poison?

What's your address? What kind of stuff do you have? Would you mind posting an inventory and some pictures?:shifty:

Nice try, but my dogs are trained to NOT take food from anyone but myself. But they will eat what they kill. :whistling

Knowing you Bob, you probably have a Komoto Dragon. Am I right?

I read somewhere that you should never annoy a Canadian carpenter, I'm not sure about that, but when I worked with my grandfather and uncles my Uncle Greg stuck me upside down in a 55 gal drum of water for being a wiseass. Grandpa "Pe'pere" chewed us both out, me for talking smack to a master stonemason and my Uncle Greg for wasting water.:blink:

Nah, I just live in a place where I can leave the keys in my trucks ignition and the house and shop unlocked.

I have yet to meet a dog that won't accept a treat from a stranger. Must have taken a lot of training to achieve that result. You must have the patience of Job.

After 4 years, I finally put a door on my shed.

One of these days, I'll get a lock for it.

At any given time, there's usually 3k worth of tools in the back of my truck unsecured.

In ten years, I've had the following stolen:

My laptop and digicams out of my house
Gas from my shed.

I filled a gas can with half water/half gas and left it in my shed. It was the lat gas ever stolen from me.

Yes, takes a bit of work. The comand is "leave it" This begins as a puppy, and get your neighbor to try to feed them. Same comand, repeat, repeat.

Anytime I tell them to leave it, they won't have anything to do with whatever it is. ie my shoes, etc.

Sounds like you have a nice area there. My area is ok, but a little isolated, so most people own dogs. Most bite too.

Dogs....

I have yet to meet a dog I can't befriend.

They are only effective when someone fears them.

I only fear the ones that are large enough to eat me. eg. Cujo. Or maybe the one that was in that Tom Hanks movie. Man, what a beast!

I have two cute little Poodles and three very mean, retired military neighbors! Oh, and 11 guns.

 

[RoyalTech]

i live next to the constable, and around the corner from a sheriffs dept officer.

i probably havent locked the door more than a dozen times in the last 4 years.

My wife's cousin is a constable up there. Near White River Junction. My god he's a big dude! :notworthy

Best bet is to get a standard alarm. Two pit bulls wouldn't be a bad idea either.......
