Home Security

Two things about security grills, as Bumper said, all you need to do is make your home look like its more trouble to get into than your neighbors, and that is about all you can expect from security grills.

When we first had security grills installed, we were unhappy with the workmanship so we had a new contractor come in, remove and replace the grills. They sent a guy with an (electric) angle grinder and had the first security grill off in less than a minute. And nobody in the neighborhood came over to see what all the racket was at any time. In other words, I have no doubt that thieves can come to our house during the day while we are gone, remove whatever security grills they want with little effort, and cart our stuff away without worry of being caught, if they can find anything worth taking.

Thanks for the response Parrot--I will try the screw method ---the Condo is one where there are "rules and regulations" etc..etc jobs

Security Cameras are the way to go, many time the bloody crooks don't know they were on camera until they are arrested. They will poison the dogs, beside the dogs makes a mess of there on.

It doesn't seem like dogs are the answer especially the friendly ones around Khon Kean.

Kidnapping Of Dogs On The Rise

Khon Kaen owner tells of Bt10,000 ransom demand

Dog kidnapping has been on rise in Khon Kaen in the past year, with the abduction of good breed dogs - especially people-friendly golden retrievers, Siberian huskies, chihuahuas and pugs.

Many pet owners are posting missing dog messages on http://www.khonkaenlink.info/. One tearfully said a Bt10,000 ransom was demanded for her pug but, after she filed a police complaint, she never heard from then dognapper again.

Khonkaenlink webmaster Chumphon Para said more and more missing dog messages had been posted on the website over the past year; but most owners did not get their dogs back despite rewards being offered, some as high as Bt10,000.

He believed many owners didn't turn to the law to get their dogs back, fearing police would see their claims as trivial. As an alternative, many were using social media to quickly reach a wide audience.

Jonsurang Namprom said she loved her eight-month-old pug "Jokey, as if it was her child. She bought it for Bt4,000 but it has now disappeared after her boyfriend walked it to Beuang Kaen Nakhon, not far from her home, and they got separated.

"It was stolen - because a security camera from a convenience store near home showed Jokey being taken by three teens on a motorbike," she said.

Jonsurang filed a police complaint and posted a missing dog message on Khonkaenlink with a Bt10,000 reward. She received a phone call from someone claiming to have bought the dog from teenagers and then resold it to a Ban Phai resident. The caller said he would leave the dog at a location for her in return for her wiring Bt10,000 to the caller's bank account - which she agreed.

But when she told the caller she had filed a police complaint, the line went dead and the number couldn't be reached again. "I love and miss Jokey so much… I still wait for it and never want to raise another pet dog," she said tearfully.

Another dog owner,Apisara Boonyapan, 43, recalled the day her two-year-old golden retriever "Jeng", which she bought for Bt2,700, went missing after she left it running around outside the family's townhouse for only five minutes. A neighbour told her Jeng was last seen chasing after a pick-up truck, whose driver seemed to have been observing the dog for a while.
