pretty clever, actually. |
Assuming that you have electricity hook 120 volts directly to the bars via a big switch to turn on whenever you leave the house. When you come home
and find bodies don't call the police; just drag them down the street somewhere and leave them.

Nothing stops a determined burglar...nothing.
Scare tactics will stop the timid. Here's an old-fashioned burglar deterrent on the Serinadad's rear walls. Ugly as can be, and delivers a pointed
message.
Requires bleach clean-up.
Personally, if I had to resort to this, I wouldn't be there.
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

Since 120V won't kill too many people, or even deter too many, you must put a tub of water in front of those windows with a sign " Please don't stand
here ".
All lowlifes will defy your request of course and will perish.

.......personally,,I'd go with the idea of a nice RV--you can store it for ~$200/year at Pablo's when you're not around,,,move it when your interests
change,,,,or perhaps get a peice of land when you decide where you want to be.
...RV storage is very low price!
Where is Pablo's place?

take the copper wire.

High Voltage Electric Fence?
Please correct me if I am misinformed, but I have been told that this is illegal in Mexico, that the homeowner who installs that kind of system will
be liable for any injuries or deaths resulting from contact with such system.

That sounds more like California than Mexico.

As long as you drag the bodies away and don't "tell-a-phone, tell-a-graph, or tell-a-cop", who is going to enforce such a law?

Just because it may not be a good idea does not mean it will not be fun!!!
