IMHO, big dogs are probably the best way to deter would be burglars. Unless the burglar is mentally ill or hell bent on robbing you or your house, he/she will move on to the next place. I live in an upper middle class neighborhood in Los Angeles County. There has also been a rash of burglaries committed by a group of 4-5 Hispanic males over the past 6 weeks. They have totally cleaned out a couple nice families I know casually. By "coincidence" there has been a long term construction build going on right in the middle of all these crimes...
I have two pittbull terriers. I own them because I love their medium/large size, short, clean SOFT hair, athletic ability, loyalty, and their tendency to protect their property from any intruders. They stay in the house when we are away. We have NEVER had a burglary issue and I seriously doubt we ever will with our pups on guard.
I am a SoCal Native. I am 3rd generation Los Angeles County. There are some things that bother me, but overall, Los Angeles can be a magic place. In fact, I am still buzzed alittle from the Mulholland to Malibu run I made yesterday.
