| 1400510 | 2015-05-27 23:05:00 | Have you got a picture. | Driftwood (5551) | ||
| 1400511 | 2015-05-27 23:49:00 | I suspect you have. | Cicero (40) | ||
| 1400512 | 2015-05-28 00:19:00 | Also keep a steel pipe handy, never know when you might need it...I'm in the process of creating a version of a morning star - have to check first if it's legal though. Maybe. | Greg (193) | ||
| 1400513 | 2015-05-28 03:19:00 | The trouble with weapons is they can be taken off you and used against you, and you can get into to big trouble for using them whether owning them is legal or not. Best to avoid having to use them in the first place. That said I do currently have a baseball bat under my bed. A phone and a sturdy locked door between you is a better weapon. |

| 1400515 | 2015-05-28 10:26:00 | Yeah, BIG dogs are the best security 'system' in the house! Not always, it depends a great deal on your approach to animals. I spent several years servicing TVs in the home, going into twelve or more houses a day, many of which had dogs, and I still go into situations where dogs are present and I am the stranger. In all those years, I never met a dog that I couldn't get on-side with, big or small, and in the years since there has been no change: meet dog, make friends in a couple of minutes, get on with what I am there to do. Best experience was in a house with a huge guard dog. We made friends, and he wandered over to a corner and lay down to watch me work. A few minutes later a woman rushed in in a panic and apologised for not locking the dog away. She was surprised to see her guard dog lounging in the corner taking no notice at all of the 'intruding stranger'. My technique was to get down to the dog's level, not go eye to eye, talk softly, present the back of my hand for the dog to get my scent, and once the dog was relaxed it either got under my feet, or wandered off and left me alone. I never met any dog that I would classify as an effective security system if an intruder knew how to handle it, but I did meet a few that would chew your leg off in 30 seconds if you didn't play the game right.
