My Posts This: Topic Forum | Sorry to hear about that!I have an alarm on my shop. It sounds in the house if the shop is tampered with.
About two months ago, I was awoken by that friggin loud buzzer. I went outside, walked into the open shop, and the would-be thief found himself nose to nose with a .45. He literally did piss himself. Just a kid, 18 tops. I held the gun on him until the cops came. They arrested him and gave the boy a 20 minute lecture on how lucky he was to be alive and not full of holes.
Since then, the wife and I have toyed with the idea of getting a couple dobermans. I also had a second siren installed in the shop. The loudest one I could find, it has a strobe light and everything.
Fellas, if you have a shop, or a garage, where you keep this high-dollar stuff, put an alarm on it! Get the great big "PROTECTED BY XXXXXX" signs too. Granted an alarm wont stop a pro, but it will make you a hard target and most thiefs will just move on to the next house rather than risk getting caught. I think ADT has a setup for $99.00 installed.

. But after we got the insurance we dident know they took the compressor and spray gun till later that week so couldent claim anything then. Funny thing about it the peice of **** sceadu engine was fooked anyway 
One things for sure though, I'll be wiring it up to the max before I use it again, I,just wish I could get away with wiring the door handle to the mains!
