    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.

    Burglars won't bother folks that talk to their garage doors !!
    Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to Fight, he'll just kill you.

    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!

    I am super paranoid about keeping the garage door closed. I have plenty of tools and R/C cars visible in there that would be sorely tempting to thief. My wife used to sort of protest that we live in a good neighborhood and people aren't likely to steal some Craftsman wrenches out of the garage. People are very likely to steal out of a "good" neighborhood - where better to steal from?

    I get so worked up that I sometimes will even close the garage door even if I'm just in the backyard doing yard work.
