Cameras, fake cameras, motion-sensors, etc.
I normally only get 4 hours sleep each night, so I was awake at 2:00am this morning and just watched the ceiling until around 3 when I heard a couple of car doors on the side street outside our bedroom. Naturally, I went to the window and saw a car parked 30 yards farther up at the stop sign with brake lights on.
So, I flipped on the flood lights and within a few seconds two tall teenagers went running by our bathroom window carrying some large objects, jumped in the car and drove off at a high rate of speed. 911 and three black and whites later, we went next door and awakened the neighbors to tell them they had yard decorations stolen although they ran when I flipped on the lights.
Halloween is starting early.
So, what are your recommendations for providing some security measures around the perimeter of the house short of me sitting in a chair with a side-by-side shotgun?

At my house I have five armed guards, an AK-47 in my bedroom, 17 security doors and a 4m tall perimeter topped with razor wire. So far we have not had any halloween decorations stolen.

Don't leave anything outside that you value.
Buy a Big Dog and chain him outside
Buy flood lights with motion detectors
Or just buy good insurance. As long as the bad guys (or kids playing pranks) are outside buy ear plugs so you don't lose sleep.

Hey, Turtle, is your real name Penn Jillette?
Hey, Dave the answer is a automated lawn sprinkler, the second anything
steps on the yard the sprinkler starts, it also works great at stopping dogs from taking a dump in your yard.

lol, tell me about it, though smaller dogs are just as bad. Have to play mine sweeper whenever grass needs cutting. Cats are much better in that respect, but not known for their guarding abilities. Geese are meant to be great for security, but hate to think of the mess they make.
