Well, maybe we LIE's do lack common sense. Personally, I never locked my house before I got married, and the SLI wife insisted that it be locked. I never had anything stolen. What are they going to take, the couch?
Also, if anything were to be stolen, I'd just get another one, if I thought it was important enough to replace.
The only time I ever had a break in, it was the local police. I had come home late from a long trip, and woke up in my bed near dawn with the impression that someone was in the room. I opened my eyes and saw three cops standing there. I said, "What are you guys doing here?" They said, "We got a 911 call from this house and are investigating". I said, "It didn't come from me." They said, "This happens a lot, false alarm", no apology, the bastards, while showing me how they broke through the window screen and opened the window to get in. Unbelievable. They got in through a front window that faces the street. If I had more presence of mind, I'd have sued the city for trespassing. But, I was still waking up. Weak excuse, I know.
My point is that an alarm system and a dog are not going to protect your stuff. Better to just buy insurance and live in a nice neighborhood. And sue the bastards if they do it again.
