Way to secure broken window in garage (theft) ?

[chicks4kids]

Put a wood dowel/or piece of cut wood that would fit from the top of the window to the top of the bottom section of the window....kinda like putting a broomstick or wood piece in the rail of a sliding glass door. The won't be able to get it open that way.

Thanks for the Byc'ers that cared enough to bother and respond. Even kind words makes
the day go better.

We screwed boards into the tracks of the windows. Screwed a 2x4 over the
window openings.

We used a motorcycle cable thing attaching the lawn mower, two scooters together.
This will have to do until tomorrow morning so we can find an alarm and motion lights.


rebelcowboysnb-Thanks for the camera idea. I will have to find a wireless version though because
it is a little far for a lan wire. It will also be a good way to watch an incubator too.

I say rip out the window and frame and replace it all with glass block that way they would have to break the glass and you will hear it.

If it helps any. Ethernet can run up to 328 feet(per hop). Wireless usually only reaches about 100 feet. All my cameras are on 100 foot $6 Ethernet cables.

Have got several orders from this guy. Cant beat the price on wire.



Do love those cameras but shipping from them takes months. But again they have the best price.

rebelcowboysnb= Thanks I know the range of Cat5 cables. I have cable already that can reach there. The problem is that
I would have to either put up a pole or run a trench to the building. The wireless has an expander in the garage already
to use my notebook at my parent's home. (It is almost between our properties. )

We're going to go with the cameras but, put motion sensor spot lights inside the building as well so the whole freaking building lights
up if someone is in there. Motion sensor alarms too.


I have a friend that worked for AT&T and he gave me a large box of cat5 cable
years ago. The connectors are cheap at Radio Shack.
