Scorpion, sounds like you live in one of those red states with no castle doctrine, someone would have killed your perp by now if he lived in my state.

2 friends one early 40s other late 50s. The 50 yr old was rejected by my GF when she fell asleep over there after a fight between us, my GF and I that is. I chased the 40yr old off a couple nights later when he was in a drunken stupor pissing in my yard cussing me out at the top of his lungs that he didnt have to leave or some drunken BS like that.. only a couple nights after the original GF fight.

Absolute best thing for this situation is a gun.

No to the living in the trailer park but seems one is trying to pop up around me. Funny thing is the ones that are the problem do all live in trailers..lol.. I have a gun but unless I wanna go to prison for shooting some azz for this crap it isnt worth it. I am aiming for an alarm system and a locking billet lid. Hopefully it will prevent any further tampering then a security system in the near future. But with any luck I will win this upcoming lawsuit and be able to buy a new house further out in the country and NO NEIGHBORS..

I love not having neighbors. Well, I have neighbors but they're my family. Other than that... 0 neighbors.

If you get any type of lock, I would highly recommend a pin tumbler style lock vs a wafer lock. Pin tumbler locks are like those you would have on your front door of your house. Wafer locks are what you have on your car door.

I won't go into all the differences between the 2, however, wafer locks are very simple to defeat through a few different methods (I could open every Cherokee forum members jeep using the same blank uncut key with a technique called overlifting). You can purchase a set of "jigglers" on the interwebs that (along with understanding how to use them) will gain you access to practically every car made between 1960 and 2008.

All that said, there is no such thing as a impenetrable lock, they can all be defeated. If they really want in, they can get there.

If you want more info on a decent locking system, come visit us at lockpicking101.com we know all the ins an outs

Readin this and just thought I'd share my 2cents. My buddy had the same problem and he hooked up a motion sensor from a flood light to play dogs barking on his mp3. Not sure how exactly he did it but anyone with knowledge about electronics should be able to figure it out.
