At the house?!?! Or a car, or what? Scary ****, at least if they are 'pros' and know what they're doing. If they are just crackhead douchebags, not so scary, but still a huge effin aggravation for sure.

You don't need your keys, do you?

(Hopefully, you've changed all the locks by now.)

GPS, 2 V1 detectors, rugs and some tools. They tried to jack my gun box but they couldn't find the key.....

The cops?

Well they musta ran out of donuts......I'm a local private investigator and know a lot of low lifes as a result......got my $50 back and my stuff.....not one thank you. Based on the hassle I should of shot the prick.....I have insurance but it doesn't cover MY labor and I'm not paying a locksmithy 80 an hour for something I can do better,

Wow, that sucks, at least you got your stuff back. It's a shame you couldn't kick the crap out of the guy.

Earlier this summer, I rekeyed all of the locks in my house so they all work with the same key (different from the previous keys). It took about 5-10 mins per lock and now all 6 locks locks on 4 different doors use the same key. Before I had 4 different keys.

I installed those programmable locks and deadbolts (key both sides) on every lock in the house. Was a purchase of six locksets.

Every two months, I reprogram them to a different key, and we switch our keys. The system is foolproof as long as a door is never left open exposing the programming port.

So far, so good.

Alarm system is big, black, and usually hungry. Neighbors come to me when cats are missing.
