This is why when you look at houses in other parts of the world(even a lot of places in Europe) they have BARS on WINDOWS. Their houses are like fortresses. With bars and shutters. Doors that are reinforced steel. So, that when they are not there, no one can break in and steal their stuff or occupy their home.

This is what is coming to America. Thanks OBAMA.

We see that here already in Dim-run cities.

That’s been my experience in both Mexico and Costa Rica (and I assume the rest of Latin America). The houses are built to keep outsiders out. Fences and high walls topped with razor wire or (old school) broken glass set in concrete. Bars on all the windows and no way to even reach the front door without going through a locked metal gate.

American homes must look like very easy pickings to criminals from these countries.

I’ve already done this, but due to HOA regs, I can’t do visible bars. I’ve used Lexan-reinforced windows and subtle bars — steel garden trellis, firmly mounted with roses.

Deadbolts are assay alboy (unpickable locks).

Steel doorframes and window frames.

Wired cameras and wired alarms.

Commercial garage doors that cannot be easily jimmied (also alarmed).

Two dobermans.
