That's awesome but I think I'm going with the alarm system. My grandmother might flip over those signs. Besides the people of the neighborhood might take it as a personal challange

Find a sign and post it blatantly on your premises and all doors.
Here's two of them that might make this point!
And if that fails here's this one.
Thanks I'm going to look into it for sure.

Most break-ins happen on the first floor of the residence. Make sure all ground level windows have a glass break sensor on them...and then use sensors on the doors.
You could also get a surveillance system that will allow you to remotely monitor and view the premises. Go with good, digital, high res cameras that have night vision.

Well in my neck of the woods, we keep out varmints with a simple inexpensive bear surprise. Go buy a few 2x4 's at your hardware dealer, or scrap if you can find it and some 6 penny nails, larger is up to you. Nail the nails spaced unevenly into the boards the entire length. Make sure the nails are sticking through the other side.
When night falls, set out under the entry points to your home, nails sticking up side. Cover with leaves or debris so it can't be seen easily. Be sure to let friends and family in on your new security system. Might take a few days, but the varmints will be scarcer and they usually don't come back for a second dose. Also if you can pretend no one is home , method can be quicker. And we don't kill the varmint's, just a safe way to discourage them. Also fit very well under an old welcome mat.
Go with both. Make it fear unto trespassers. Don't just be passive. Use fear! It works with government on citizens so why not Citizens on punks!?
