wow. so sorry for your loss & violation of your home, PDOUBLEOP.
but this is an interesting thread.
we've had a lot of workers inside of our home this year, but i have been thankful that most of them have been scared shitless of our 2 dogs. i've never introduced my dogs to them, but instead have them locked in a bedroom or in the backyard when they're working here. the one dog is extremely leery of strangers & he probably would've nipped a few of them. he's scary looking like a wolf & growls & barks, so he scares people until he gets to know them, then he's a sweetheart.
when we go away, we do leave the dogs in the house:
1) they've always lived indoors & are spoiled pampered pooches
2) we always have a neighbor let them in & out a few times during the day
3) if we can, we have someone sleep at our house at night (sadly, that person just moved away, so i am trying to find another trustworthy person for this)
<b>and where do you buy the alarm signs? home depot? or do the alarm companies sell just their signs?</b>
oh another thing we do is to leave the television or stereo on. my neighbors turn it off at night & back on during the day, as they raise & lower our window blinds.
making good friends with a few of our neighbors has been the best thing ever.
