I sell right off the farm, by appointment only. I am not afraid, since I am on a dead end and own the street and have neighbors, like me that are home 99% of the time and watch each other's houses. The police in this small town, patrol very often. Once we let our dog go play at the neighbors, with his dog and the police brought him home in the back seat of the police car, thinking he got out the gate. I have 2 guard dogs who are home 24/7 and put a fear into anyone who comes near the property without us saying it's ok and letting them inside the gate. We are well armed and very good with guns. If anyone wanted a bird or rabbit, that bad, I would give it to them. But I live in a very safe area and our Heavenly Father watches over me very well. When I was very young, my grandmother was ironing, when I heard someone at the window. The man had to pull himself up, to come through the window. Grandma, told me to be very quite as she reached beside the stove for her axe. Need say, as soon as his hand reached inside the window, 4 fingers fell to the floor and we never heard anything about it. I live in the South and this is the way I was raised.
If I lived in the city, these days, I would probably padlock my world and everything in it, as crazy as people are today, but then that's why I don't live in the city! My door step and door knob would also be hooked up to a 110 outlet and the property posted.
