@ Jason – great comment.
Harbor Freight sells the inexpensive Bunker Hill driveway alarms. I have 4 of them around my yard. I have one in a plant basket on the front porch (painted green and the light covered with tape) and it helps out alot when someone comes to the door. Place an alarm under the driver’s seat of your car and it will let you know when someone enters. My neighbor uses them in his boat when he is staying overnight at campgrounds.
It’s a personal choice whether you use your garage for a car or not. My vehicles are garaged every night. I have outdoor fenced in backyard sheds for the items that most people use their garages for.
Stay safe and LOCK your vehicles and your home.
Most people around here don’t have a garage. I have one but my house is 74 yrs old and my vehicles are to big to go in.
@CW- LOL, that’s the truth. When I moved down here I noticed that and figured it must be a southern thing. Most folks around me use their garages for any and everything EXCEPT vehicle storage.
This is what garages are for, but unfortunately most people fill them with junk, so no room for the cars.
That neighborhood seems to have frequent vehicle burglaries each month. All the more reason not to leave valuables in your vehicle and ensure your car is locked. While cameras are an excellent way to document the criminal activity, it is also important to have some type of “perimeter or driveway alarm” to notify you when someone is in your yard, on the porch or inside your car at times when these “prowlers” shouldnt be present. Harbor Freight (Old Palafox) sells a very inexpensive driveway alert. More expensive outside alarms can be found on eBay or Amazon.
The alarms can be mounted high enough off the ground that animals wont give a false alert. They can also be placed inside glove boxes or center console of vehicles. You can also spray paint them to color match the surroundings to further conceal their presence.
