Re: Procrastination



It must be some sort of karma thing :-)

I was broken into last year, and I actually had 2 cameras sitting in the
lounge waiting to be put up!  The alarm probably scared them off so they
just grabbed a couple of things and ran, but if only I'd been a bit less
lazy and hadn't kept putting off the work....

Hopefully now the cameras and the warning sign are at least a partial
deterrent.  I think putting up a sign and making the cameras obvious is
probably a good idea, plus the loud "clonk" from the PIR when you go
anywhere near the house.
