got to call the cops this morning

[sniper7]

About 4 this morning I am getting ready to head to work go out and open the garage loading my stuff. I am half inside the vehicle and this truck rolls up and stops in from of my house. I find this odd so I reach in the vehicle for my weapon and have it on the seat. I stand up and they must have finally noticed I was in the garage and take off.

I wait a minute go tell the wife to watch out and make sure she keeps the garage closed. Go to my vehicle and head to work. I did a loop in my block to just see if they are still around and make sure they aren't breaking in somewhere. Don't see them so I head out ti the main road.
sure enough there they are heading down the street and pull into the next neighbood down the street so I immediately call the police and give then the full description location etc. Haven't heard anything but I am positive these guys are looking for open garage doors for an easy snag of whatever they can steal.

Anyways, make sure you watch out and keep your garage doors closed at night!

One of my biggest fears. If we didn't use the damn garage as our main entry, I'd keep a padlock in the door track.

Damn! What a way to start the week. You should of hid in the corner of the garage to see if they would of tried coming in and then get the drop on them. Hopefully the cops at least check them out incase. You never know what people are up to anymore.

If an altercation happened where shots were fired S7 might be in jail as he lay in wait vs, flight. Bad advice adawg, an attorney would have a field day with you in court.

Hey now I wasn't telling him to let them come into the garage and jump out shooting. Simply see if they got out and started walking to the garage and then come out and say "can I help you?" Trying to get proof they were doing what he thought and if they were they would of taken off. Like they did when he got out of the car. Shit sorry I wasn't more specific and my reply sounded differently. It was more talking then anything.

Well, regardless of who should shoot who, Sniper I'm glad that nothing happened to provoke that. No matter how much it might be nice to fantasize about blowing away scumbags, no firefight is a good firefight really.

I see people all the time leave their garage doors open all day and sometimes all night, when I see them open after 10 and nobody in the garage I try to knock on their door and let them know (in my neighborhood this is). Fortunately my house tells me when mine is either open for more than an hour and/or it closes it automatically after 8pm unless I tell it otherwise.

I have a motion detector on my alarm for the garage for just this possible reason. It is setup as an entry sensor, so if I am home and the door is open, it still beeps in trigger like a door was opened.

Burglars won't bother folks that talk to their garage doors !!

Wild snail's usually have prions in them.......

Yup, that is the strategy . If they think I'm batsh*t crazy they will think twice about it.

Actually I have automated the crap out of my house, you probably wouldn't believe the stuff my house does! Guys love it, women are afraid of it!
