I got a gated front yard, two 85 lbs dobermans, a glock 19 by my bed, and adt security (cuz my wife made me).... Honestly if getting some dogs is a no go, or u dont have a gated front yard, then Adt security is a good idea... You put adt signs in the front and backyard. And they give u adt stickers for each window..it will make a thief think twice before breaking in...and if they do decide to go in, then that loud alarm will scare them off and aswell as alery u..It is 40$ a month tho...
