We live in an area that has too many garage burglaries. Home invasions are common here, particularly between 3 am and 4 am. Our police department is strong and responds to calls. But, they don't have enough staffs to patrol our area. We have good communication with neighbours. We always report incidents after they happen and encourage neighbours to keep things locked up.
Can anyone suggest some effective and cost-effective ways to trap these burglars? Some of them suggested installing intrusion alarm systems. The burglars should feel that they might get caught in the act or afterwards. Are these systems effective in ensuring the security, even without having vigilantes patrol?
