Someone asked me if I thought anyone would break into the house and steal all my tools.
One, most of my tools are old and not worth anything. The rest are all registered by serial number.
Two, there are motion sensor security cameras there. They’re all over the place, recording all motion. The inside cams alert me to any movement. Here is the living room cam.
Three, I have good neighbours who keep a good eye on the neighbourhood.
Four, the recyclers who come by to collect cans and bottle know that, if I see them in the alley, I will generally give them what I have. No use in breaking into the house and breaking up the goodwill.
