Hello,
I am also considering whether an alarm system might be useful.
There have been several break-ins in the neighborhood recently.
Or whether it is better to better secure doors and windows.
While searching online, I came across this book:
-Selbstschutz- Einbrüche wirksam verhindern
by Siegfried F. Hübner; ISBN-13: 978-3941538504
According to this book, it is probably more sensible to focus on passive security and better secure doors and windows.
An alarm system is of course cheaper than new windows and doors.
The house is from the 60s and the windows/doors are from around the mid-80s.
What to do now?
Best regards, Jenny123
