Movement, or sounds from the street, in my neighbor's yard or for that matter - in the next block is all brought to my attention by the dogs(sometimes 5 of 'em) barking.
I don't think some of you have dogs!
Lowell, A few years ago some folks organized a "neighborhood watch" get together at a house. We live in an area of large lots with the houses well spaced. Two cops came to speak. Between them they had over 30 years as cops. They both said the best thing someone could do to not get robbed was get a dog. In fact, they both said that they had never seen a house burgled that had a dog in their entire career. Jake
