Does anyone else think about making your place look different than the reality?
I've had to do this twice in my life making my place look like it's less than it is and appearing to have nothing but junk. Both times were on account of having theft occur. Even where I live now we had a little trouble with things walking away until I changed the appearance of the place a little. Back in the city it was a much larger problem. But making things look rundown and or trashy seems to work wonders for deterring thieves and trespassers. If it appears you have nothing anyone would want then they stop bothering you.
Those of you who live in cities or towns really need to be thinking along these lines.
