Two words: big dog. According to the Superthief book, a big dog dish (ie like the size of a childs wading pool) with an appropriate name on the side (eg killer) can be a good deterent. He mentions a variety of techniques for bypassing dogs - drugged steaks, a rabbit (distracts them), quiet means of killing them, etc. Mostly he said that the dogs didn't bother him - a kind word and a dog biscuit dealt with most of them. If you want a dog without the hassle of a dog, x10.com sells the robodog - a device that can be triggered by a motion sensor or any other x10 device and sounds like a viscious barking dog. BTW, they also make a pretty decent alarm system for about $100. It's available with a dialer (so it can call out itself) or in a monitored version. |
