Home made security alarms

I had just turned 16 and my parents were in Ireland for the week. The cops came and knocked on my door at about 1 in the morning and said they got a call from the neighbor about someone going around our house trying to open windows and doors. If I would have seen someone peek in my window at noon when I was 16 I probably would have made a mess in my boxers.

We have had barns and garages broken into but now we have motion lights and a pretty thick steal door on the shop so unless the break out the explosives I'm resting easy.
