I do not have any real reason to protect anything at my house, but I have a friend lately with sticky fingers and now i'm losing sleep over it.
I've had multiple things go missing at my house...stupid petty things, like video games (but not the cases) and such. The other day I had ~$300 in my wallet (basically everything until my next paycheck) and I woke up to just $2. I didn't mind, it was probably karma. THEN the other day I borrowed my father's truck to go to the hardware store (building a miniramp, it's a skateboarding ramp for all you geezers) and someone stole my father's anxiety medication! It makes me think it's my roommates friend, as my father is a 4-time cancer survivor as well as a 7-time heart attack survivor, and noone with half a heart would ever dare do that to my father.
ANYWAYS, I enjoy having company over (no I don't have a grow or anything along those lines, I purely surf this forum for "gossip", knowledge on strains, and because it's intriguing), so I know people are going to say "stop having people over", but if I start going out to hang out with my friends whoever this asshole is is just going to come in and take my glass collection or all the car parts I hoard.
-I want to set up some video cameras. 1 or 2 exterior, and then a few for my bedroom and access points to the house. I've been looking online, but there are so many varying companies and specifications that I'm overwhelmed. A motion sensing object that could text me notifications, that would be cool.
-Reinforcing my doors, preferably without replacing the door frames or doors themselves. I like in a vintage home so i'd like to keep as much intact as possible.
-Something else?? Generally unsure.
Obviously, I have a lot to lose. I would get a simple home security system, but given the fact that I medicate, I don't think it would be a wise decision. Should I ever have the alarm go off, I'd hate to have my local PD walking into my house and discovering my new royal fumescratch rigs.
