The problem with generators is they make noise and need gas. Pretty hard to lie low when you have a noisy, smelly motor running.

Then there is the problem of protecting your generator from people who don’t have a generator but do have guns.

Whenever I'm at my parents' and I'm in a room near the Generac and it fires up, I jump sky-high...and my dad laughs. :-)

I take note and "get him back" when he least suspects....

Had a friend who used one a few years back after a hurricane - she woke up to "quiet" and ran outside to see that someone with snips had cut the chain holding her generator to the house. You don't need a gun - just someone who sleeps at night...
