Home security/alarm system recommendations? So my SW PDX townhouse got broken into rather brazenly last week: at 7:30ish on a busyish street, someone used a compost bin to lift himself (it had to be a man, sorry ladies) onto a second-storey balcony, smashed a kitchen window, crawled in, and walked out the front door a few minutes later with some valuables that I am still in the process of replacing.
Woe is me, &ct.
My question now is intended to address the sense of vulnerability and anxiety the sonofabitch left behind where my belongings used to be. Specifically, I am considering installing a security system so that I and my family can leave the house without fear of returning to a (-nother) crime scene.
Any ideas of cost, vendors, better-and-worse systems, etc., etc.?
Thanks in advance,
Shawn
