He's actually pretty friendly, but sure doesn't sound like it if someone is snooping around.
That dog wouldnt scare me. Looks puntable like a football.

I set a bunch of these at chokepoints in my home before I leave.
But it becomes a problem if I want to go back inside
i think i'm gonna have to go with this. seems like the best solution. i might lose some of my valuables in the process but at least that takes care of the burglar and brings justice!
edit: btw what do you call these types of bombs? o_0
so yeah, i'm asking this question because i've gotten robbed TWICE now within a 2 month time-span. once at my apartment near my college and just recently back at my parent's home. My parent's always keep the house locked but they still managed to break through.
I was just wondering what you guys specifically do for any electronics laying around and how to keep them from being stolen(or at least make it alot harder for them to get stolen). Electronics such as HDTVs, Game Systems(PS3,X360,Wii), DVD players, Laptops, etc. (because these are things that i've lost)
I know home security like alarms would be a good idea but sometimes that doesn't really stop burglars. I was thinking of wall-mounting any HDTVs I own in the future, and maybe get some sort of kensington lock for the rest, but anyone have any better ideas?

I bet there are statistics somewhere that houses outside of the ghetto are robbed more than ones in it. I live in the ghetto and 98% of my neighbors don't have shit worth stealing. Well unless you want a CRT tv or a 5 disc Fisher CD player. If I broken in either of my adjacent neighbors houses I would probably end up putting shit in the house for them. While I know homes in the ghetto do get robbed, a sensible thief isn't going to target poor people, it just doesn't make just sense.
A sensible thief is going to walk/drive in his POS car to the suburbs to rob rich people? LOL, no one will notice him! What a sensible plan!
Plenty of people in the ghetto have flat screens, xboxes, ps3s, drugs, cash, etc. And they frequently don't have alarm systems. You do the math.
No, not plenty, I live in the ghetto, you watch too many TV shows or something if you think plenty have flat screens and nice shit. Most people struggle to pay rent, while sure there are exceptions, the majority won't have nice shit. My next door neighbor has a Sony 32" CRT and a PS2. If you bring 3 strong ass friends you can get a TV that was top of the line 12 years ago
My neighbor on the other side has a DLP that's not too bad, but nobody is going to steal a big ass DLP over a plasma. And I didn't say anything about robbing rich people, middle class would be better targets actually. Many try to live like they're rich, so they have a good amount of decent to nice things. As for the shitty car, a lot break into middle class houses that have a car in the garage, and end up loading the car with shit from the house, and stealing the car. Happened in my sisters neighborhood twice so far this year, and it's definitely not a poor area. The dudes broke in on their feet and left in a stolen ride.
The exception would be a crack head, they'll break into a house regardless of how shitty it is if they think they'll so much as find a $5 bill.
No, not plenty, I live in the ghetto
I've lived in more poor neighborhoods than middle or upper class ones and there are fewer break ins and thefts in poor neighborhoods because you know your neighbors and someone is always around.
File 2 claims within a short time period(3 years) and you won't. 2 people I know did this and were cancelled, State Farm.
