Oppressors can tyrannize only when they achieve a standing army, an enslaved press, and a disarmed populace. -- James Madison

Oh yeah, I didn't know he asked until a few days ago.
anyways, I'm always on guard here. Most neighbors are nice enough but there is some punk looking kide who moved in across the street. He's always blasting rock music and hocking his damn horn.
I got the feeling he'll be trouble one of these days.FUS RO DAH! ==== ┻━┻Comment

Last year there was a bout 4 homes in my neighborhood burglarized. One was next door to me and their daughter was home. When the burglar came inside she had a shotgun ready for him. The girl is 17 y.o. Her dad and i share the same views on firearms and his daughter goes to the range with us all the time. Since her encounter there have been none! Probably the same idiot.Comment

So OP, in the last 7 years have you or any other family members been burglarized again?
Have you set up cameras/heavy doors in your house?Comment

Me and my family have never been burglarized. Some of the few in Cerritos who haven't haha. It feels like any way.
Every house around us has been hit:
The house to our left was hit with burglary, burglars cut up the couches and ransacked the place when they were on vacation.
The house to the rear left of us was hit by home invasion when the father returned home with 10k from the race track in Los Alamitos. Not sure why they opened the door @ night when there was a knock.
The house to our rear was burglarized, and they got a big dog.
The house to our rear right was burglarized when they went on vacation.
My childhood friend's house is nearby and they were hit decades ago. Their house is completely barred up. While Cerritos is hit with burglaries pretty often, theirs is the only house that is completely barred up like they were in Compton. While theft is a problem, it would suck to live in a house that was barred up like a prison.FUS RO DAH! ==== ┻━┻Comment

There is no week nor day nor hour, when tyranny may not enter upon this country, if the people lose their supreme confidence in themselves -- and lose their roughness and spirit of defiance -- Tyranny may always enter -- there is no charm, no bar against it -- the only bar against it is a large resolute breed of men.

This happened to a family member.
Neighbors noticed a suspicious car on a street one block over at the same time as the break in. They had noticed the same car a couple of times before.
The crew cased houses in the area, noticing when people were not home. They kicked in a back door. They were in and out in 5 minutes, even with the alarm blaring.
They took only small items like jewelery. Left all the big electronics, TV, and even a laptop.
Make sure your doors in the backs and sides of your houses are as kick proof as is possible. They went through the one flimsy door on the back of the house.
We updated everything we could as best as we could afterwards, with iron screen doors and such.
Your only real hope is to make your house less attractive than your neighbors.
That means alarm, dog, harder to enter doors and windows, etc.Comment
