| I once saw a programme on TV featuring advice on deterrence. An former proloific housebreaker demonstrated how quickly a determined burglar can do his worst.There were a few things that as a robber he did not like, dogs,timer switches on lights and venetian blinds.When I lived in Acton many moons ago,I screwed a hasp into the wall where the venetian blind lay at its lowest point and padlocked the bottom rung of the blind to it.I used this when I went on hols or was working at night, You could not really see the hasp when the padlock was not on . |
