*I have a professionally installed and monitored alarm system in mt shop. .
. costs about $20 a month but I sleep well and I'm protected at home or
away.. A local engine builder was plagued by break-ins many years back . .
he installed a tripwire system which would fire a 12 guage shotgun shell
into a steel box . . he grinned when he imagined the effect of the blinding
flash and the deafening explosion on a nervous burglar in the dark. . .
would likely cause extreme soiling of underwear . . *
