Great thoughts! I have no idea why I hadn’t considered the flood lights before!?!? I’ll stop by Home Depot tomorrow and pick some up. Only issue will be getting power to them, but I’m sure we can rig something up.

As for the GC, in this case I’m not worried, as I have a personal relationship with him. But for future projects (with different GCs), that’s a great point as well.

Thanks!

I agree with all points including the floodlights. I live in one of the rougher Denver neighborhoods. Porch lights are always lit, floodlights in backyards, and signs are the biggest deterents. Whats the point of a security system if they cause $200 damage breaking in to find out.

I suggest being wary that only your GC has that key. Often times workers are the thieves. Anyway, it sounds to me like you have givin this some good thought.

It is very effective and not expensive at all.

Just the fact that they can be seen makes them doubt.

I’m officially offering you my Head of Security job…and $1000 per year in salary (you’ll have to move down here though).

I’m going to need some of your DNA for testing…and I hope you have an alibi!

One, I took criminal justice 15 years ago in college and one thing I learned was that the culprits are often close by keeping an eye on their handy work. I see Bilgefisher comments quite often and is very complementary. He would be my primary suspect in this case.

Two, as an alternative to lasershield, might I suggest sharks with laser beams. It’s still got the laser you want, but the sharks add another level of security.
