Solid Security vs Stealth Sneaky

[Devonian]

Personally I feel the covert rather than overt route is best, it all goes back to the Grey Man principle. But even so, as you have already alluded to, you can still do a lot to your property to help secure and strengthen it against intrusions.

Conversely the overt solid security style, will attract unwanted attention and no matter how high and solid your fences and walls are, if someone drives a vehicle through them, they will give way and you will have a big hole in your defences. Also people may decide to attack you and drive you out, and the weapon of choice would probably be fire, again in this situation there is not a lot you can do to stop it.

So keeping a low profile and adopting as many different ideas as possible to covertly strengthen your property has to be the order of the day.
