Home Security - what we did
Now that we're retired we take longer trips - but we worry about leaving the house for long. We don't have family in the area and don't have any close neighbors that we'd like to put responsibility on...

The good thing is we don't really think a professional would target our house - it's an old farmhouse and it should look like we're home with the lights going on and off.
Excellent post. Some of the new electronic gadgets are actually VERY useful; some others are just toys.
Will those devices still work for a time while the power is off ?
Do you carry a list of local phone numbers with you while travelling.....police, fire, etc.....because dialing 911 from a thousand miles away won't help much !!
And yes we do carry the number to the local police. I kind of doubt we'd know if there was a fire. :(
