Security
Yesterday, we went out for a fun day. It was a really nice day too. We had a picnic blanket and a ball. We met up with friends and had junk food for lunch. We were walking around the amusements and we left the ball and picnic blanket in our spot. Needless to say (or I probably would not be grumbling about it) when we got back neither the ball nor the blanket were there. Someone actually pinched them on a fun day. The ball was nothing special. It cost just a pound and the blanket was so used, it was tearing from the handle. But that is not the point. Someone thought it was acceptable to pick them up and take them. They did not consider that the ball belonged to a little boy and that the blanket was being used. Needless to say, it really ruined our fun? day!
It made me think about our Home Security System. It made me wonder if I should do things to increase our security. This had been an opportunistic theft. Can you imagine what a planned theft would be like. I suppose you want a security system that will deter the opportunistic thief, yet perhaps not challenging enough for a real thief. If it is that challenging, perhaps they would think you would have more than you actually have and make you a target.
