> And never ever mark the location of your home as a waypoint! Then how heck to I find my way home after a few rounds of 151 rum ;-) Given GPS *was* off topic for a traditional navigation group, and home security is further off topic, I submit the following thoughts. Lets examine this idea. There is a keyed dead-bolt lock for the door between the garage and the home in my case. A garage-door opener will only gain access to the garage, and slow down the entry which may be painful if there is an electronic home-security system in place. It will slow a potential thief down. License plates alone, coupled with the registration in the glove box and a phone book will give a clever thief the address. I prefer the old school method of scanning the obituaries (you can do this without a computer). With a name, phone book, and the visiting hours/burial time you can be almost certain the home is unattended. The caveat here is to be certain the deceased is not a Methodist. This a Christian religion that believes they are but one casserole away from heaven. In this case (and other cultures) you can be almost certain there are many women in the home preparing/delivering food. In the US of A Midwest this would almost certainly include several green-bean casseroles, complete with cream of mushroom soup and topped with French's french-fried onions ;-) Bill B. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Navigation List archive: www.fer3.com/arc To post, email NavList@fer3.com To , email NavList-@fer3.com -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
