What's the story with all the burglaries?!?!

    Read a couple of threads on here over the last few days about people's houses being broken into. It wasn't just the OP's but loads of other posters contributing horror stories of burglaries.

    Then earlier this evening my next door neighbour knocked in to let me know someone tried to break into his house this morning at around 9 or 10am. There were 2 lads. Luckily his son was home and managed to scare them and chase them off. Unfortunately the scum were long gone by the time the Gardai arrived (even though he said they only took about 3 mins to get there).

    Apparantly they knocked on the front door, but the young lad who lives there must have still been in bed or something, so didn't answer. Next thing he hears someone trying to force the back door! B**tards.

    What's going on with all the burglaries lately??

    Pre-Stephen anyone could get a good job that paid really well.

    Now some folks have decided to revert to crime as the dole doesn't pay enough.

    Burglary should be against the law IMO.

    A wishful dream, apparently we have to be nice to the scumbags when they break into our homes, in this country, it's a more serious crime to defend your hard earned possessions.:(

    I know there are all the usual tips & pieces of advice to make your home more un-attractive. Some are obvious, and some not so.

    Anyone here got any novel ways to deter potential burglars? Any Home-Alone-esque ideas to keep the thieving scum at bay?
