At first I thought my son had gone for an all-nighter until I saw

He did his report and I drove the van directly to the closest Chrysler

My deductable on this is $100.00.
a thousand dollars in damages, and went half way around the block.
Well a couple weekeds ago some little locals decided to bust out the
windows on the back of my shop. 8 of them. about 800$ worth of (now)
plexiglass and labor. I'm also going to put industiral screening over
them. I hate to make the building look "Ghetto" but I don't know what
else to do.
Of course, If I caught one doing the damage, I'd be the one going to
jail.
The police just looked at the damage and shook their heads.
Do you have a security system? I'm in a "good" area but I still have
full perimeter coverage will a few motion detectors in case someone
would want to try to cut through a door rather than forcing it open.
I also have one camera that can pick up the largest area. I have
$550K in inventory right now so the ADT security system alone saves
me more than I pay for it in insurance premiums.

Being a former design engineer for a security products supplier, I do
know about security systems. Bad dog is still the best!
Is "Bad Dog' a national franchise? 
Might be. They're in FL. I don't have a yard to protect, just a
warehouse so I can do without a "bad" dog.
