[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 989781, member: 176704"] FWIW, one of my almost-immediate neighbours had a CCTV system alone - until someone broke into the side entrance of his house and nicked his very expensive bike (at the 2nd attempt - tried in the evening and then came back a few hours later and succeeded )! Almost immediately he had a monitored intruder alarm system installed. Our monitored alarm system was installed about 8-10yrs ago after SWMBO woke up and saw someone peering in through the lounge front window - no-one has tried anything since then as far as I know. FWIW, I had a flashing alarm system box installed on the front of the house, AND another one on the rear wall to deter anyone who tries that approach - and then my next door neighbours (who have been burgled twice because they are Asian - probably the buggers thought they lots of gold jewelry!) had one put on the rear of their house last year after an inspection by the security company in question (which is the same as ours - so the inspector must have "got the message"!) PS to Milamber - have changed the national spelling option in IE11 but it still does not like the UK spelling of neighbours :(! Anyway, that won't help Terryl! :) [/QUOTE]
