Attempted break-in

[Greg_T]

Last week we had an attempted break in. Once again, our alarm system went off and prevented any further damage. A snap shot as one of the fine young men did a dash back to their car. The footage of them scurrying like stunned rabbits gives me a chuckle, despite being annoyed at their actions.

We live in a low crime area, so we don't spend a whole lot of time and money preventing theft etc. The worst we have had is replacement of a timber door, less than $100.

How did they get in the door?

Check this door out. I’m in the process of looking at things like this and this is way overkill but gets you thinking.

We use a steel gate in front of the walk in door that is connected to the alarm system. If they get the steel gate open the alarm will go off before they can get into the equipment room.

The outer timber doors were pryed open using big levers. I've since reinforced them. We could go further, but relatively low crime in our area means I've got other priorities at this stage.
