Both of my uncles are bounty hunters. One even had his own show for awhile, American bounty hunter in the 90's. So I am a big fan of what they do.

You need to "Kick It Up A Notch" these days! First of all, you don't LET some A**Hole wake you up at 4:00 AM by standing at the foot of your bed and saying "Howdy; we are here to rape and pillage your property!"

My exterior perimeter alarm tracks anything that moves and gives off a heat signature within 100 feet of the exterior, and is automatically engaged after 9:00 PM and until I disengage it the next day. Video Cams transmit directly to a continuous loop VCR that kicks in if the Perimeter Alarms go off. If the perimeter is violated, the 300 watt floods come on, and a siren that would wake Methuselah comes on, INSIDE and outside the house! (Yeah, the neighbors just love it!)

By the time the Siren blasts twice, I have the Street Sweeper in hand with safety off, and the wife has the AR15, cause it's easier to hold on target. By that time, my alarm company is calling me and calling the PD simultaneously. I let the phone ring until I check to make sure there is no actual "Breach", and then the wife picks up and chats with the alarm folks until I check the visible perimeter. I DO NOT leave the house until the PD sweeps the exterior and assures me that all is well.

False alarms? Yep, we have had two... one was the neighbor's dumb a** Weimariner taking a dump in my yard at 2:00 AM, when his drunk kid let the dog out and didn't watch him. Boy, was he embarrassed! (The Neighbor; I don't think the kid or the dog really gave a rat's butt!). The second was an "unknown"... could have been a "dry run", just to test the system, by some POS that had seen the Porsches come and go, and figured it might be worth his while to get inside... We tend to get quite a few "Sunday Looky Lous" that just drive into the subdivision, and back out, and I know for a fact they ain't ALL lost and looking for their cousin's place. Especially when their idea of transportation is closer to "Ghetto Fab" or "Barrio Beautiful" or just plain "Trailer Trash"... Profiling? Hell Yes!

Paranoid? Nope, just staying ahead of the crowd... two weeks ago, some butthead chunked a rock thru the neighbor's front picture window (the other neighbor!) and pulled out all of their lawn markers and I found some of them heaved in the general direction of my front door, but not inside the perimeter... Gee, I wonder why not??? PD tracked it back to general vandalism committed by a couple of bored pre teeners that snuck out of the house after hours. Yeah, they manged to carve up a couple of cars, and did some other crap along their path, that just happened to end at the house where one lived and the other was "sleeping over"... didn't take much of a detective to solve that one...

Oh, yes, we did have one other sort of, but not really, false alarm! Put the trash out for pick up, and in the middle of the night, the alarm blows... I figure something got into the trash, like a raccoon... well, it was something "Cooning" but of the two legged variety! When I got to the windows, all I saw was a ratty old pickup peeling away from my garbage can! The butt**** was actually trash picking! Which brings me to the next point! We shred EVERYTHING!!! And I go for a cross cut shredder... let them try and do that puzzle!!!

Now, all of this "Activity" is in a very nice and limited access neighborhood on the outskirts of the typical "Smalltown USA" environment... On average, three vehicles are stolen from driveways EVERY DAY! And breakins? I've lost count! I can't imagine what it's like closer in to the major metropolitan areas!!! Well, yes I can, having been in the Miami environment off and on since the days of Miami Vice (and no, it has not gotten better!)

So, you pays your money and takes your pick! We know for a fact that the folks paid to make life safe and sound, can't possibly keep ahead of the creeps... like Clint says "Do you feel lucky? Well, Do You!?"
