Home Security Issue, Somewhat Serious

[ButteredIt]

veggies growin? this time of year? they must be indoors unless you're around the tropics... hm...

so there was no 'pot growing' equipment around. but what about these veggies you have? anything growing indoors will be considered a weed grow to most outside eyes. especially to these gang affiliates.

those phone calls are scary. you never know when they could be waiting right outside your house for the one time you don't pick up the phone.

i'd say make a dummy stash. have some cash and a shitty piece of jewellery or something to give them *just in case* they come in. everyone please take the time to knock on wood. if they come in, guns out, you don't want to whip out a bigger gun. that's just bad news. but at least be prepared and have a little stash far away from your main stash. they'll think the robbery was a success, and you'll have your life. and most of your valuables.

A good dog will deter most would be burglars but it is certainly not the be-all-end-all if the robbers are determined, but you've got the right idea with German Shepard just make sure you are the only one feeding it and train it not to accept any treats or food from anybody. Two dogs would be even better, they seem to become more territorial when they are kept in small groups.

If your grow is hidden in the basement or something locked up.
Why not hire a dog sitter ?

Have your number changed and shell out the cost of a dog sitter for 2 months.

Next time he calls, interrupt him asking to speak with _____, and say in a redneck voice, scyuz me howld owun just a minute, HONEY GO PUT THAT .38 UP, YOUR GOING TO NEED THE .45 OR THE 12 GAUGE, JUST GET THE 12 GAUGE AND MAKE SURE IT STAYS LOADED, sorry about that, who are ya lookin' fer?

 

[BiG H3rB Tr3E]

honestly if i were you i would set my house up to look like no one is in it. leave the mail in the mailbox. dont pick up your newspaper. leave the porch lights on all night. then wait for that piece of shit to come into your house. in my state you dont need to prove anything beyond the fact someone you dont want is in your house.....

Tell him Louis is out having relations with his mother.

I remember the days when gang members used to sell drugs and stuff.
Now they are working as home improvement contractors?

gotta get a job as a condition of probation; my friend who moves weight by the 50pack drives garbage trucks for his day job... nice benefits and now with those automated trucks not much physical work

u can change your home phone number; doesn't everyone just use a cell nowadays anyway? tell him louis is there but busy chopping up a brick at the moment; could u take a message. Or next time just say "this is officer x with the y pd; may i ask who is calling?"

As far as dogs go i'm all about rotties; some dog breeds people aren't interested in finding out if they are friendly or not; the rott is one of those breeds and they are great companions; super loyal to the pack

security systems work if they r tied to ur cpu, the internet, and your cell; basically get a webcam with software that uploads the images to a sever on the net; if u get jacked and they take the cam and computer the images are still on the net unable to be erased by the thieves also u get a txt notification if they set off the motion sensor; put camera in a room focused on a door; door opens; alarm goes off; totally silent too

get rid of you land line shit nobody has those anyway and threaten his life the next time he calls up your security measures and youll be fine.

Contracting is a used as an "in" for the gangbangers' burglary ring, reconnaissance you know? There has been, as a natural consequence of our current situation in the US, an increasing number of gang members that are ex-servicemen that are employing militaristic tactics in domestic crimes here on US soil. It wouldn't surprise me at all if this ended up being one of those situations; it seems too methodological to be just a random 'thug'.....

Good luck. Buy a 12 gauge.

Video cameras outside of your home do wonders to deter crooks & break-ins.

Video cameras outside of your home tell your neighbors your involved with drugs and are paranoid, unless you live in a 5 million dollar home in a gated community and you push a ferrari f430 or a bentley or something.

Just change your number and get some pitbulls inside and outside and feed them very little.

 

[opt1c]

if you have a medium sized dog already i strongly suggest against getting a pitbull; pitbulls are bred to be dog aggressive not human aggressive; a dobe, german shepherd, or rottweiler are all better choices in my book... besides... where i live my neighbors think the people with multiple pitbulls are paranoid gang members involved with drugs not to mention they are scared of em and fear their dogs getting out and attacking their little nice dogs which happens ALL the time with pitts more than any other breed; again the dog aggressive thing; personally i'm all about dogs that are human aggressive; i don't fear being robbed by a pack of angry dogs

motion activated flood lights work better than videocameras but a lot of people put em out now; not just drug dealers; ever have someone key your car on your driveway or try to break into a car parked in front of your house; trust me you don't have to be a paranoid dealer to want cameras outside; personally i don't like outside cameras unless they're well concealed; like hidden in the floodlight housings... i don't want the mark to know they're on camera until its too late and i have a really nice picture of em

i've been growing indoors and outdoors down the block from a cop for years in a fairly dense neighborhood for years blending in no problem

 

[litebuzz]

god i hate fukin thieves! i feel for you. definitely keep your guns handy. there was an invasion i read with 3 assholes breaking in someones home....one was shot dead, the other is in the hospital with multiple gun wounds and i'm not sure what happened to the other fuktard. i say "good on ya mr homeowner!" i guess they picked the wrong house. that's kinda how i feel about my own house....i'd have no problem putting some rounds in some little puke trying to rob me. i bet they'd love seeing that lazer on their chest before i pulled the trigger...lol. fortunately we don't really have those kinds of problems here...but i'm still prepared.
be safe!

saiga makes a badass semi-automatic 12 gauge shotgun. you can get 12 round magazines, or a drum that holds 20.

 

[Lazyman]

Hola?

Yo estoy Luis...

Chinga te tu madre pendeho!

This!

Or, if you're in the mood to off a burglar, stop answering the phone at 7:30 (since you're home) and they will come sooner or later. Just make sure you're they're when they're calling and you're not answering with that 12ga ready.

Only if they can see them - Video cameras are really small these days... We have a few kicking around here - Only the guy who came to prune the tree noticed Little maintenance involved though...

Don't get a pitbull; god those things are horrid animals... Never mind they've got the reputation that they're only owned by druggies and nutjobs... However Pyrenees, Bouviers, Komondores, and my next dog - caucasian mountain dog - make a heck of an impression on anyone coming to the door

12g, camera, board doors with a 2x4. May not need 2x4's if you have a 12g. Good luck....I don't think this is a random prank from what you said.

Rippers get past motion lights and deadbolts easily...a big dog would help, not always practical though.

 

[ilovethewest]

mounted gatling guns man! its the feature, and legal as a medical card is. this 2 barreled .22 gets the idea across. doing home improvements, build a tower on your roof, plate it with steel, and mound a few of these with 2x 100 round drums. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2yzcMPQZdU&NR=1&feature=fvwp also you can use an AK if you feel safer, that mod is also possible.

Sounds like a prank call, someone is just screwing with you.

Maybe tell the caller that LUIS is there and act like you switch the phone over and say "Wuz up bro" in a spanish accent...see what he says? lol

good idea

i too have a feeling they are checking your schedule

man I wouldn't feel bad about shooting them when they come, all the paranoia and worrying their causing you

+ you gave them work

ingrates.

fucked up living in the states
