Alarm Thieves and Burglars

Do you have outdoor security lights at your house? If they’re on all night, they could be costing as much as $100 a year, not counting the cost of bulbs. Today, new security gadgets increase the ‘scare-the-crooks’ quotient while lowering the “cost- to-homeowners” quotient.

For example, electronic barking-dog alarms now come in many shapes and sizes, from hard-wired motion-sensor-controlled Doberman guard dogs to yappy little battery-controlled barkers that let you know an intruder might be around. They’re inexpensive and portable, making them great for travel.

Other low-cost alternatives are small battery-operated wedge alarms that sound 110 decibels when a door opens against it. Also, the cost of monitor systems has come way down.
