they had a qoute and its not pretty, £20k and thats if, IF they get permission to dig up the road!
Man that is rediculous, how far of a distance is it it from the house to the barn or whatever?
Surely if close enough you can get your power shut off for a few hours, do the wiring yourself, then cut it back on and good to go?0 -

My mains powered house alarm is radio connected to two battery operated PIRs in my garage and shed. There is also an alarm bell inside the garage to deafen any intruders. No mains power needed.
My outbuildings are about 25 metres from the house with max signal being received at the main box in the house. There is obviously more range available.
The PIRs are tamper proof in as much as the alarm will go off if they are tampered with whilst armed. If the main box fails to be connected to the remote PIRs ( it sends constant "hellos" to each) for any reason when not armed a message is sent to my alarm monitor company who call me instantly (I know this as it happened last week due to a faulty battery) to let me know as well as offer an engineer to fix any problem.
I always alarm the ground floor of the house and both out buildings at night when off to bed.0 -

There was a company in America, can't remember the name of it for the life of me, that offered similar things. They were by far the most popular secutiry there.0 -

Same company, coudln't remember the name exactly but it knew it was a 3 letter acronym.
They have an amazing track record in the states!0 -

Geese sound like a great idea.
Mate of my Dads had some 'security Geese' at his small holding - they were the most unpleasant and agressive animals i've ever met.. the racket they made was unreal!
Tempting as it is, don't wait for them with a shotgun... if you are anything like me you'll go mental and not stop until you've smeared them all round the walls.
You'll end up getting locked up 'Tony Martin' style just for trying to protect whats yours..0 -
Landmines and trip flares.
Thieving fucks should be beaten. I had my bike nicked last month, off duty copper spotted it and wrestled the guy with the bolt croppers to the ground. Unfortunately the other got away on the bike.
Lad that was caught is a well known thief, with lots of convictions for burglary and theft. However, he told the police he was just helping someone who had lost the key to their bike. He's never seen the lad before.
As this sort of crime will only go to magistrates court, where judge/jury won't be told of his previous, it was agreed to let him go as he would be found innocent. They even gave him his bolt croppers back.
Police wouldn't tell me anything about him. But...... I now know who he is and where he lives. He's never had a job in his life and is a druggy. However, as a law abiding citizen, there is absolutely nothing I can do that won't lead to me being arrested and charged. Who says crime doesn't pay. Honestly, 5 minutes in a cell with him and I'd know exactly where my bike had gone. Scrawny little no life scum.
+1 for the geese idea, they scare the shit out of me.0 -

they know you have to replace stolen items, so they wait long enough till you get them. it's a rubbish thing to happen, but it's happening more and more as cctv in towns makes things more risky to go on the rob.0 -
cheers for all the replies on this, i was up in glossop on weekend see'n father for his 60th so got to see the damage they caused.
The alarm idea i think is something we are looking at, but i think they are going to buy a used 20ft ISO container and use that for storing the expensive stuff.
The idea of geese is a great one, but we have a fox and i am afraid geese will get eaten by a fox, seen it happen before, but its an option0 -
