    They now have your house pegged. Either get a large dog, alarm system, or lock everything up tighter than Ft Knox.

    AMEN.

    I dropped off a refrigerator for my mother in law, when theirs stopped working. A guy pulled up and asked her if he could take it. She said "hell no, I just got this" lol

    Yep. My parents second home, where 2 of my brothers live has had scrap taken from the side of the garage while nobody was home. They came right into the driveway to take it because the house sits back and its a busy street, they had to pull in to get it. I couldn't believe it when I found out. Now, any scrap or anything of value is kept locked in the garage.

    Yea I told my husband everything needs to be out of sight or covered with a tarp. Most of our stuff is locked up it was just a few items laying behind the house, I looked from the road and i guess it's noticeable if you are really looking to see what is behind someone's house. We brought it all into the scrap yard today though. And I am making sure anything else we get we lock up with everything else. Thanks for the advice.
