Since the theft, I have added a burglar alarm to the shop. I bought a
2-zone RS model, with switches on both the overhead door and the people
door, plus a motion sensor. Will also add a bar with padlock over the front
door on the outside. Since there is no phone, I have it wired to a really
loud siren on the top of the roof. Also have a strobe light at the front
edge of the roof. I feel pretty secure with this setup, and I probably will
add to it. Any suggestions?
