Is it just me or does this seem kind of excessive?
- pdimitar 6y agoThe area I want to move in is known for its heightened percent of home invasions and burglaries. So I don't know, maybe it is excessive. I just don't want my life savings to fall into the hands of a random burglar.
- Forbo 6y agoWhy keep your savings at home? For anything critical I use a safe deposit box.
- pdimitar 6y agoMy bad for using bad figure of speech. Of course most of my savings won't even be physical (bank / cryptocurrency / investments etc.) -- I meant that I'll have all my possessions there (expensive computers, TVs, furniture, kitchen tech, what have you) and I would like to avoid having them stolen while I am grocery shopping in the nearest city, you know.
- closeparen 6y agoIs law enforcement in the area such that cameras would be a real deterrent?
- pdimitar 6y agoNo clue. But I am accepting another commenter's idea that having very visible cameras (on purpose!), solid fence and 1-3 guard dogs should be enough to deter 99% of the potential home invaders.
- LinuxBender 6y agoTo me excessive would be automatic tracking turrets with really nasty things mounted on them. I recall someone made one that fits in a briefcase and uses paintballs. It had something like 90% accuracy on fast randomly moving targets. But for some people that might not be excessive, probably depends on the circumstances.
- at-fates-hands 6y agoReminds me of the hotel scene in the book "Altered Carbon". The Netflix series did a good job visually with this scene. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6VaUPmaCcI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6VaUPmaCcI
- LinuxBender 6y agoThat is a great show and I agree, that hotel is a perfect example. I really hope they keep the show going.
