In neighboring villages, there have been two break-ins reported in a short period of time. Now we’re really starting to worry that these criminals might target us as well. In Leipzig, there was actually a whole series of break-ins that was even mentioned on TV. Here in the surrounding area, we had hoped to be somewhat safer. But that now seems to be over.
When building the house, we installed wiring for an alarm system. But at the time, we didn’t fully consider that it wouldn’t work with two cats. The equipment can tolerate one cat but not two. At least, we haven’t found any system that does.
So, what can we do? We have mushroom locks on the windows and aluminum roller shutters in front of them. But that’s it. Does anyone have any tips on how to upgrade the security technically? Are cameras any use?

Yes, for presence simulation, it helps if the lights turn on, the TV is running, etc.
Honestly, I’m glad I live in an area with very few burglaries.
In some neighborhoods, I wonder if the owners are actually inviting burglars.
You can tell the employer and income level from the car in front of the house.
A garage, house, and privacy screen provide complete visual privacy.

An acquaintance from the neighboring village recently reported seeing a van stop nearby. Suddenly, 3-4 men jumped out, ran around a house that had no fence, then all got back in and slowly drove away. Another person saw a similar group stop in front of their house. Two foreigners got out and tried to snoop around. That person came outside (he has two large dogs like most of us here) and immediately shouted at them to leave or he would let the dogs loose. They quickly left then.
What’s happening here is really disturbing.

Sometimes you have to switch from cat to dog. Though there are cats that react very aggressively to strangers and attack. I even had to put up a warning sign for a few years.
Burglaries are awful. Strangers break in, rummage through your private belongings that not even friends know about, and cause significant property damage over sometimes minor items.
A friend of mine was affected; the damaged photo albums were the problem for her, not the broken window or the missing valuables.

Even if dog owners don’t want to admit or accept it: every dog is completely bribable. In the end, the dog is wagging its tail next to the burglar, begging for another piece of sausage, while the intruder calmly searches the typical cash hiding spots (in the dresser among the socks...).

Dogs are completely useless. I wouldn’t say that. It’s true that most of them can be bribed, no question. But until then, they make quite a fuss. 🙂

Owner at home: barking is immediately met with "quiet now, stop, come here right now."
