Crime in your area?

Luckily we have a big dog, who doesnt like strangers He is the only one we have. We are cat people, the nice, tame cats stay inside and go out during the day. And our semi feral cats stay out all the time. So Im not worried about people stealing pets.......

Now we don't let them out without watching them but the catahoulas and hounds like to take off and don't care to be inside all the time, so we are going to build a fenced in area in front of the house (kinda like a BIG dog pen). The pits just scare most people (big babies).

We are going to buy a new front door next month (change jar is almost full) becouse our 100 year old front door doesn't have a lock and I don't want to redrill for a new knob system. So we can't lock up our house now any way.

That's another benefit of having just plain ol' mutts....no one would want to steal 'em!

If The door and Jamb is solid you could mount a simple bolt on it. slide the bolt from the inside and exit [& enter] through another door.

We are several hours from town, but the boss had 500 head of cows stolen a couple years ago. We are worried about being hit again, so all the cowboys are now armed on patrol.
That is professional rustling being done, but i have also heard that people have been getting family cows stolen.

It's quiet on the home front here. Nothing happens except for an occasional poacher. My neighbors are pretty good watch dogs and report anything unusual from a vehicle parked along my wooded land to shining to suspicious tire tracks. Many would think all of us here are sitting ducks, but the family of 4 across the road packs iron. The neighbor 2 houses up also packs and I'm on record for taking a knife to a gun fight (in my own house) and no we wont go there. Though Hamburg has a neighborhood watch, we all look out for one another. My two closest neighbors have permission to drive or snowmobile on my land and so this keeps the woods active and trespassers and would be bag guys from coming around an active area. It's sad to think that I actually want to move from here, but if I do, it wont be for another 10 years.

The boss has set a bunch of game cams out...LOTS of them! No one will be able to drive anything down any roads without being seen now.
