Re: Security f@ck up
Southpaw, without an indication where you are situated there is no way to get you in contact with relevant structures. Beams and lights and trip wires and whatever is not going to solve your problem. For any farm attack there is a reason. Either the believe that there is money or weapons to be found or in very limited cases some sort of revenge murder. Or just to spread fear (but I am not going into politics of farm attacks here, lets just keep it at crime level.) None of these in my opinion is fitting the MO currently described. You just say "been hit.?" Have "they" stolen things outside the house? Making a noise? Trying to break in or come into the house? Just observing your actions?
There is something else going on there. It is not a "normal" MO for a farm attack to take place.
By asking these questions here on Gunsite I get the impression you are not part of an organised farm watch / CPF / safety network group etc. If you were, they should be able to get and provide better info.
Get into contact with these type of structures and also do your part in area and community operations. The only way to stay safe is to be part of your community organisations, but that also means to take part and build relationships with those around you.
Forget ambushing etc. Get help form the right places. HPG, Afriforum, TLUSA, Oorgrens veiligheid/RSA Nood etc. Something is not right at your place.

Re: Security f@ck up
Southpaw I will do a unofficial PIF and donate 2 x BangAlerts to you. You must just pay courier. These are the new ones made out of metal and not the old injection molded ones. I am currently in Kenya but I can get my Mother in law to ship them to you or you can arrange for a courier to collect? Please send me a pm to arrange.

I have responded to probably 40 plus residential home invasions.

I have 5 dogs, all indoors ( 3 amstaffs, 2 weims )
Never been bothered.
all my neighbors have had a home invasion in last 3 years.

We were bothered by trespassing at least once a month. Got a pitbull and was never bothered again

Re: Security f@ck up
I've tried and I feel they've honestly done their best under the circumstances. I report just about every incident and eventually asked them to run a few checks now and then... Well, they have a total of 2 working vehicles and are heavily underfunded and understaffed. Such is life, I guess.

Re: Security f@ck up
Big John, we're in Lanseria.
Griffin, I appreciate it, thank you. The complication is making decisions that impact others, I know what I would do if it was only me...
Ds, I strongly suspect certain individuals however, I have no concrete evidence- only circumstantial. They're coming in on foot. We're quite close to a main road and our neighbour is not the best at repairing his fences. They also just cut them to come in any way. I've looked into better fencing, but it's pricey.
David, I shall do, thank you.

Re: Security f@ck up
Ashley, that's what I'm worried about. I'm trying to get the family and other tenants to arm themselves, but it's an uphill battle and takes time.
Wildcoast, definitely going to look into it, thank you.
Thanks Hoodlum, really appreciate it, all have been reported!
In general, I think that cameras and the Bang Alert are a good starting point.
This is where it gets really odd: The main house (the one being hit) has TWELVE dogs... They don't seem to care, this is partly why I so strongly suspect that there's staff involved...
