How do people live in houses without the fear of being robbed?

[WIBELZ]

I don't live in a Democrat run area

[Chowboy]

Rarely lock my house and frequently leave my garage door open with hundreds of dollars worth of tools inside.


No worries.

So you don’t live near AAs.

[Chowboy]

Well, actually I do. There is a very poor neighborhood about a mile away that is all black.


Go figger.

[N0rds]

I've never had anyone try and break into any house I've ever lived in ever in my entire existence. What a weird way to think OP.

You guys are lucky/naive/live in super white/nice areas.

Impressive. I wish I could trade the ones around here for yours.

Hope you have good insurance

[gmenfan40]

Everyone talks about using a gun yeah i get it but what if you arent home and they break in and steal stuff while youre away

You could be lifting and come back with your big screen TV gone

A tv? I couldn't care less about it. Homeowners insurance will cover the majority of that anyway. Investing in a real safe that's not drillable that would need an expert to get inside to put in valuables that aren't replaceable is all you really need. (Super Ded fkn Srs)

[FarmersSon]

I live on a couple acres in the country. People have things stolen occasionally, but it's pretty rare and not something I worry about.

[Redfish225]

you have to make the distinction that the crackhead is white. I wonder why lol.

Go back and read what I was responding to and boom, there’s your answer.

Damn, come to think of it, I don't lock my garage too.

brb got so much booze in there.......so much

All my paintings too. My art studio, my jam space, my gym, etc. I guess a home invader would therefore be able to get a stiff buzz on and appreciate local art while getting a cum-inducing pump and perhaps turn their life around.

[steeperdolphin]

Security cameras, Mossberg Shockwave 590, Springfield hellcat's and a Dogo Argentino.

[bchap05]

My pistol is sitting like 2 ft from me and live in like 98% white area. Solved

those of us in America can actually defend ourselves

[exsparky]

All my cars are inside.
I've had one home invasion and no break ins.
I'm still not big on locking my doors. 300#'s of mean dogs, 16 camera's and a 12g and I don't have any fear.

The home invasion was 20 years ago. 3 Mexicans doing stucco watched my parents leave with their RV on a Friday while they ate lunch. They came back at 8pm in the back door. I came at them with a mean dog and a bad attitude and they jumped off the deck in the dark. Real crooks with guns would have been a problem.

strong username to thread content correlation

but overall, security system, rottweiler, etc

For the past 10 years i've always lived in apartments because of the safety

if someone wants to break into my suite, they would have to get through security at my apartment as well as the locked doors. My apartment is also high up so they wouldn't be able to climb up my windows like Spider Man

I can't imagine how it would be like living in a house say right next to a bus stop where people could break in any time they wanted to

if someone got your address for your home and wanted to rob you they could easily do that. But at an apartment? Good luck getting inside

You logic is pretty flawed imo. People leave or prop open the building door all the time. People bring in randoms to apartments all the time too. You can literally have dozens of people walking right past your door in 24 hours. Then you have multiple people with the key to your apartment that can literally come in any time they want without you knowing.

Why would people with guns break into your house

This is not a thought that ever crosses my mind, ya’ll wildin. I don’t even spend money on cameras, never had a security system.

[DuracellBunny]

I don't live near people who are likely to try and break in.
I have gates.
The driveway is over 1/4 mile long.
Cameras.
Lights.
Alarms
Antibandit glass.
Most importantly, we don't have anything in the house that makes it worth the effort.

Burglars wouldn't just try my house by chance; they would have to plan it in advance. With no watches, expensive jewelry, expensive art etc the juice isn't worth the squeeze.

Most break-ins are done by smashing a window and grabbing whatever they can, to pawn for drug money etc. The more high end, targeted stuff only happens when they are after a specific car, piece of art, watch etc.

[redwine91]

lol at trying to rob a house on 640 acres behind a locked gate, territorial dogs, and a gun safe full of weapons. Just lol

[vulgoo]

Buy a gun op

[BigDeeps01]

I live in a gated community surrounded by white people

If you are smart, it's much easier to secure a home than an apartment building. Or at least prepare the home so you can catch any would-be criminals much earlier/before the fact.

Sure you might have less people around, but that means anyone around sticks out more and is thus easier to deal with. It also means you know every inch of the property and can defend it that much better, vs being cornered into your apartment.

I currently live in a townhome in a fairly walkable and busy part of the city, which means at any time of day there is a homeless dude walking nearby, or neighbors walking their dogs, or delivery drivers walking past, uber drivers stopping outside, schoolkids walking to/from school, tourists walking to/from the coffee shops, etc. Infinitely more avenues of theft/crime than when I lived in a mcmansion in the boonies where you couldn't see the neighboring houses due to the gardens, and couldn't even see the house from the street due to the elevation change/driveway design.

most criminals are opportunistic. Generally a B&E is not an opportunistic crime. That's why criminals cut off catalytic converters and steal vehicle wheels more than they break into someone's home.

that said I don't understand you peeps who feel so safe they don't lock their doors. that chit drives me nuts, I lock everything.

[olemo]

because i live in europe not usa/canada

[MetroBrah]

Cameras and guns. Add a dog and that's about all you really need. Unless you are some huge drug lord, random burglars aren't going to try that hard.

[N0rds]

lmao, you eurocucks have to have fukkin fully automatic machine guns on the police on every corner.


And you have the Islamic attacks all the time, thats more rare here.

A dog is probably one of the best home security measures, if it’s the right breed . I love golden retrievers,but they usually lick the bad guy lol

[PShift5]

With alarms and an AR15

[6gorillion]

yup, have cameras looking at every angle of your perimeter, some guns, and a German Shepard should do the trick lol. Once they hear that angry dog bark they usually run

[PShift5]

Because miscers all think they're fake Hollywood tough guys, except IRL

No the truth is if someone broke into my house I would shoot them without hesitation then fall back asleep srs
