I swapped both our kitchen and my workshop door for the Yale anti bump locks and when we leave they go with us and the old ones go back in. The French wouldn't know what they are and would probably chuck them anyway.
They are the only Euro cylinder locks in the house. I have never seen keys with so many dips, notches and squiggles on them! Not cheap, what what price security?
We also have a Securitas wireless alarm fitted and on the couple of occasions when it has gone off, once by me being stupid, we got a call within a couple of minutes asking if all was well and to prove it I had to give the correct password to prove that I wasn't being held by some thug. Bad password and the police would have been sent, goodun and all's well. There is a lso a night setting where the doors are alarmed but the PIRs and cameras aren't on, so if anyone were to greak in it would set the alarm off. That would have stopped your thugs J!
When I was in the R.A.F. I had an old Ford prefect, 1149 cc side valve job, and I had a sign in the window that said
"Active anti theft device fitted. No responsibility for any injury incurred"
I was late for shift one day and parked where I shouldn't have. An hour or so later I had a message from the Snowdrops, R.A.F. police, telling me to come and move my car. They said that they weren't going to touch it when I got there and as they were corporals and I was a sergent they told me not to do it again. They never did find out what the alam was. It was a 120db siren fitted down near the drivers feet and if it went off with you in the car all you wanted to do was get out toot-sweet! Not only that, but if they did want the nice radio I had it would have been difficult with their fingers in thir ears :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
