Prowler thwarted ( this time)

[Flintstone61]

Looks like the same guy as March28th. We got the 80in full length Latch guards (Astragals) installed now building wide.
It was too foggy misty to get a decent image out back......but he went to at least 3 of the 4 doors and, Surprise Surprise, We got New Hardware.

The big thing is that he didn't get in. He obviously knows cameras are in use, full face mask.

It's the Simply Safe guy.

Looks like time for a replacement Latch Guard before he comes back tonight to try again.

How much were those per door?

 

[Flintstone61]

$212 on the cheaper ones out back.
$900 plus custom ( as all hell) install by Mike at Davis Lock.
He said had to do a lot of fabrication to make everything fit.

I see a sticker over one of the cap bolts that reads a partial name
So I googled it.....

So I clicked on the link above about frontline defense and now I get this filling up my feed:

I would ask for parts that fit over the lock assembly/striker plate that can be easily swapped out due to any future break in. Maybe a 2nd metal cover that is designed to take the brunt of the damage?
And maybe put a oriental floor standing panel or something to hide those yummy delicious amazon packages in full view of the door.
Or a crash test dummy situated in that chair and have it reading a newspaper with a burning cigarette (actually just incense) in ashtray.

Couple of things I would consider from a security point of view.
Ensure said glass door has impact resistant glass, or better yet a polycarbonate glass.

With packages being in plain view, perhaps window tint, one way tint, something along those lines. If you can't see through the door, burglars might be more hesitant to try something.

Otherwise, those latch guards did its job.

I just wish the new door locks had electric shock as an option.

Update. He hit the next condo over. They have a Lorex system it appears, and got some pics and vid’s. His God Mother reached out to me after I replied to their FB post with photos and Vids of our burglar. Whose been here 3 times.

That is great! Congrats.

Always good to see when someone can "close the thread" with an arrest!

 

[Flintstone61]

It was fortunate or lucky that I checked in on my FB messenger ( which i rarely use) until they contacted my via that APP. based on my response to this post. the God mother had responded with " I know who this is, who do I contact?" and the message appeared to be 3 days old! i was like F@$!! I hope she answers. and that started a chain of events talking to investigators, and sending over multiple case#'s related to the breakins.
