Ya, right.

The new scam nowadays, if for the BG to go up to your alarm sign, get the name and number of the company and then pretend to be a company rep when you open the door.

Alarm signs are worthless, even though we have one...albeit with a functioning alarm system.

My brother has it as a sign similar to an alarm company sign. That said the better solution is not advertising you have something worth coming in for, a couple dogs and window blinds.

And a neighbor like Joe Horn wouldn't hurt either.

I think I will just get a "warning land mines" sign for the front yard....that should do it.

A diligent homeowner doesn't open the door for strangers. lol

As for signs not a deterrent, back in the day, one neighborhood stood multiple burglaries in the daytime. Nearly every house had been in a two year period, with the exception of those who visibly displayed alarm systems were installed.

Something like 3 homes hadn't been hit out of 90 or so in the community
