Just had a hit by Burglers - Security

[Steve.r]

the idea of letting the locals know there is a gun on the property was advised to us by one of the police guys, he told our caretaker to make a show of "occasionally patrolling the grounds with his shotgun slung over his shoulder and just letting it off now and again just for effect.

being a good neigbour helps as you immediate neighbours may well recognise strangers in the vicinity
