I'd suggest a metal security screen door on the front door, and possibly on the back door. You have dogs, so it can only help to put a Beware Dog sign on your side gate. Make sure all windows have the security stickers on them on the outside of the window for better visibilty, plus your alarm company's sign in front. This is for starters. Email me with your phone if you'd like more security ideas. Lee Las Vegas Terry,

When I first saw this post, I thought it was a joke, but now I've actually read the whole thing. Man, the things people will do for money and material things. Sheesh. Sorry to hear about the theft. On the bright side, it makes for good writing material. ;-) Crazy!

Much moreso, unfortunately, than a guy needs to feel. (I know this sounds sexist; nevertheless it's usually true.) I'd recommend being more vigilant with your neighbors for awhile. My guess is that these low-lifes picked you because you acted somewhat carelessly and they pounced on it. Leave the house and come back shortly after. Randomize your routine just a bit. Don't change your lifestyle, but just a few tweaks here and there might make a difference. The video camera is a super idea, of course. Regards, Bal Your wife is correct to feel upset.

That's extremely upsetting. Losing your stuff is bad enough, but... they HIT your dog? Oh, man... I'm with Fred on that. That's the kind of thing that puts me right over the edge. And like other folks, I'll say thank goodness you weren't home at the time. A few years ago, a good friend of mine here in New York had her violin stolen right out of her room WHILE SHE WAS SLEEPING. Ghah!! Very glad that you and Julie are fine. Wow… so sorry to hear about this violation, Terry. That’s extremely upsetting. Losing your stuff is bad enough, but… they HIT your dog?

Praise God you 2 and the dog are okay. Here in Vegas we face a similar problem, except these psychos kick in your door while your home, hold you a gun point, and then rob you or worse. As a raving fan and man of God I will be praying for all of you. As for a breed of dog, Mastiffs and The German Shepard as long as you train them. Again My heart is heavy, but happy that you are all okay. Merry Christmas. Terry and Julie,

I just came home from a long day of "fighting crime" in Southern Ca, (many burglaries this time of year) and I had to comment on this... kind of a strange coincidence but I am a new copywriter and the first headline of my first sales letter (using some of the techniques I learned from you) is... "Can a Burglar Really Enter Your Home Through The Peephole Of The Front Door?...Absolutely!" Keep up the great blog... I read every post! Merry Christmas! Terry,

I'm glad everyone is ok though. Like you said the house insurance should cover most of the damages. Good thing you have it... It sucks to loose the things with sentimental value. As I started into your post, I couldn't help but think "It figures that they would steal the TV". I imagine thieves watch a lot of TV these days. Maybe they got the idea on TV? Could there be a business idea here? There could be a service where someone would come and remove my TV? The Side effect, I might make more money. As far as protection, besides a good security alarm system, maybe you could get a 100 pound Rottweiler that always makes a nice surprise for uninvited guests and nice pet. :-) Merry Christmas! - John Terry, that’s terrible to hear about the Grinch!

I was not offended Lola - Just making sure you understood the rules. I sometimes let links that are there to add to the conversation, but no links are allowed which would promote someone's site, affiliate program, etc. Ed - I was thinking along the same lines. Broke >>> Steal a TV >>> Watch The TV >>> Stay Broke Thanks Fred, Regina, Ed, and Lola.

I apologize. I did not mean to offend. Taking my cue from Fred Black who offered suggestions for breeds of dogs, you may wish to consider: Airedale Terrier http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Airedale_Terrier Very intelligent with good sense of what's funny. Standard (the big poodle) Poodle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_poodle fageddaboud the hair clipping, very very, intelligent, really pleasant temperment, good hunters and great protectors. Bullmastiff http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bull_mastiff My all time favorite for a watch dog because of its size and clever us of same to protect its owners and family. This animal also has a double row of teeth. lol! Extremely loyal. Terry,
