Book Description

January 18, 2005
So you have a lethal weapon in the house, a ferocious beast for a family pet, and you are a lethal machine with a bat, knife, or a golf club. Now...just imagine you have called a home security consultant to your home and paid him three hundred dollars. He has told you what you thought was great advice. You think you got all the right answers? He even recommends to you that you should get an alarm system with a central monitoring company. You have taken his expert, highly recommended advice. You pay a few hundred more dollars for an alarm system and now you're thinking you are really protected. You got all the angles covered, or so you think. You're now on vacation with the family, having the time of your life. Coming home everyone is perfectly relaxed, you had the greatest time of your life. You came back to see your doorframe smashed-you have been cleaned out and so have your bank accounts, 'cause you left your account numbers in your desk drawer! You just blew a gasket, had a screaming fit of rage and lost a few hundred dollars. Well, I'm sorry, you got hammered all the way around. You thought you were so protected....well, now you are! This dirty little black book has got the real harsh answers, the answers that no one wants you to know. By the way, whatever happened to your gun and dog? Is this guy using your stuff? Oh, damn!

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your time or money .............., July 24, 2005
This review is from: Do-it-Yourself EXTREME Home Security Guide (Paperback)
Well, we are told first of all to put a fence around the house. The pros and cons of fencing materials follows. "When using wood fencing, only use treated lumber......." "Metal fencing is by far the strongest....""Vinyl fencing won't rot, rust, crack, pit or fade". Folks this is high-tech stuff. There is more! "Cut back any tree limbs from the house....." "Remove any shrubs, bushes and trees that are against the house." Really important stuff......"Do not hide or stop hiding the keys outside."

The entire chapter on alarm systems consists of 31 lines of text including drivel like this "Here are the facts. Most break-ins happen when you are not home." Who would have thunk? The one and a half page "chapter" concludes with this sage advice "Opt for an alarm system that a central monitoring company offers. They can get authorities and emergency personnel to your home quickly.".

Oh, let's not forget the tips for when you go on vacation! "LOCK DOORS." "Set up interior light timers..". "Stop all delivery services...". "Leave your blinds down..."

I really wish that I had not bought this compilation of trivialities..........
