Good stuff. I can't imagine any clown trying anything with these easy measures. About the only thing I might add is a loud tape-recording of a very loud dog, activated by a motion detector. One of my neighbors has a sign: Forget the dog. Beware of OWNER.

Paul,

Thanks for reading and commenting.

Your barking dog recording is a good idea also.
