CCTV aint worth a w**k, if there up to no good and want it the'll take it night or day on camera or not!

Id personally move it some where more secure for a bit or tuck it away for a few days.

Thats what i'd be worried about. If they knock on the door and a big bloke with a big dog answers, they know not to bother coming back.

I've heard of people knocking on doors like this, then when someone answers they're looking round the hall/entrance to see if they can spot any likely places keys would be left etc. Plenty of people leave keys within reach of the door - can they use the old fishing rod through the letterbox trick etc?

We had an up to no good looking chap up by ours a week or 2 ago. My car had the door open as was in the middle of washing the car, he stopped at the top of the drive on his push bike and had a look then looked like he was gonna wander in so I walked out. He came out with some BS about seeing if his mate was staying at my house, tucked all the cars away securely the next few days and made sure they were locked!

Can't be too careful!
