We had a furniture company make a 3-sided armoire to go over our massive safe, so if anyone peers through a window they won't see a safe. Plus, we have a great security system, and other things for protection.

if someone is a specific target, bad guys will figure out a way to get in. If it is random, you need to make sure your house is the most secure on the block. Most our neighbors do not have an alam, perimeter gate, etc.

And that is why very few know my real name!

IF yunz are truly concerned, procure AND USE a bank safe deposit box. Thievery at that point gets the Feds involved, I believe.

Insurance covers a multitude of unforeseeable events, as well.

LOL--Using the word Yunz is a dead give away to location!!! So are the words- Redd up, gumband, sammich, pop and finally jag off.

Great discussion everyone. Keep them coming.

I am a bit curious, what is the risk of exposing your license plate? Wouldn't someone have to have access to the DMV computers to look you up that way?

Mine is even easier. It is a "Radio Amateur" plate, so it has my call sign.

A simple Google search of that info tells you where I live.

Here is a neat little device for all the main entrances of your home in addition to the usuall alarm & deadblots. I can bypass deadbolts via bumplocks but not this. Great investment for $25 found at your local Lowes or Home Depot.

[rxonmymind]

One pic didn't make it so here it is. This little lock takes about 1800lbs of force so even if you do manag to unlock the deadbolt you won't be coming in. The windows, use little dowls in addition to motion detectors and Brinks security attatched to a cell phone. Do NOT attatch to a land line. After all that, IF you can get passed my one German Shepeard, and Rot, then you'll deal with other deterents. Really, it's NOT worth coming into my home uninvited.

Hey Guys,

Some of the social sites, like Facebook and Twitter are the areas where unlimited information can be gained, so be careful of names and photos as you may be suprised who collects info from there. (Not always bad people but sometimes government security organisations to do security vetting on employees)

You should also exercise caution on forums as others have already stated, especially meetings and photos of homes and collections.

Cheers

Are you guys aware that photos that are taken with most new cell phones that have a built in GPS tag the location to the phote unless it's disabled or scrubbed later. It's called EXIF data
