Less likely as cameras actually cannot be seen from the front of the house. Back of the house has garden and trees etc then into a reserve. I don't know though.

Yes. Once they were inside the garage, the hinge pins were accessible to the door leading into the house. Is this standard design? Previously that very door was broken from the inside during another robbery; hence 3 deadlocks.

There was a quick smash and grab robbery wanting to take the Toyota about 3 years ago. Since then 3 deadlocks on the door. That didn't matter as this door was removed from the hinge while all deadlocks intact. I didn't know that it was that easy. Not the most clever design but will be rectified...

btw thanks everyone for commenting and taking an interest. I have a few ideas that I will implement. Hopefully never to be tested but who knows.

Other idea is for the home alarm to cause all house lights to go on and off like a strobe. :) Disco time.

This is rectified now. Embarassing blunder that will forever punish me. Thanks. This is the most unusual idea that I heard so far. Before you know it, the house will catch on fire due to multiple LARGE batteries constantly charging everywhere..... kidding of course. Thank you.

Possible. Unless they put a flexble camera below the door to inspect it from the outside. I dunno. Possible. Will investigate. Thank you.

They removed backfence panels and walked in. There were security lights but power was disconnected from the front where there were no security lights (ie quite dark). They moved all turrent cameras upwards but didn't damage them. A surdy steel security screen door was jimmied easily from a...

Haha awkward convo. relatives very unlikely. Friends who knows.

Definitely not high end. Very typical house. Toyota car. It is unusual I agree. I haven't detailed how they got in but can if people are interested. It's not relevant for this forum though.

I know most of you are in the USA. Do you have power distribution boxes on the external aspect of the house that can be freely accessed by anyone? One other thought was whether I could install a large battery for the whole house to store solar power. I don't know whether this may help or not.

Point taken. I will consider that one. Easily done. I agree. This almost looks like a practice run for some other job they are doing? They broke in a took the evidence that recorded that they broke in. Total loss is only about $1000 maximum assuming 'as new' price.

Thanks. Not the worst idea by far. They didn't take the ancient DVD player.....

Point taken. I will consider disguising the recording device as well as a decoy.

It is possible that they knew. They took ALL computers in the house. Even an ancient one. They left all monitors etc behind.
