If you’re sufficiently well-organized with respect to your neighbors, you’ll have a watch and an unwelcoming committee to say howdy to unwanted visitors.
About 6 years or so ago I confided to a friend of mine about my planning. He said those 5 words.
I thought about it for a second and said “if you show up here empty handed I’ll shoot you before you can knock on the door.”
In the subsequent years he’s gotten his rocks in a pile because he knew I was dead serious.
