--- Quote from: Phaedrus on May 17, 2014, 04:18:24 am ---I still don't know Dave's opinion on political debates on non-electronics or energy related subjects. I doubt he'd tolerate a religious debate, so I don't know his stance on a gun debate.

Guns debates ARE religious debates, and they are two of America's biggest problems. The third biggest problem is money in said politics.
It's always remarkable to note that those who support guns, are also those who were born in a country that worships them. Just like religious people almost always believe the religion of the country they were born into.
--- Quote ---Basically, I want to know what Dave's stance is regarding discussion on this topic; then if he doesn't mind maybe we can start a thread dedicated to that subject.

Nope, no gun debates please, it simply won't end.

I wouldn't both with actual stolen contents cover in my own lab, any cover I got would be a fixed amount in case of fire and/or water damage. Enough to keep me on my feet in a new rented lab with basic gear in the worst case scenario.

Here the police ask " Do you want us to investigate your armed robbery, burglary, housebreaking, theft out of motor vehicle, theft of motor vehicle, hijacking, robbery with aggravated assault, assault, murder, rape"
I have had a few already. Does not help that the police are not well trained and often have difficulty writing a simple sentence if it does not fit in the learned form filling styles they have.

well i think for those in the US some properly made steel structured doors would be good start, thick walled box tube base in an outer shell and inside rectangle/honeycomb stucture over that a medium thickness metal plate covering the whole structure whichs must be made from a material which is hard to drill with conventional drills, proper hinges and locks, but ofcourse this cant be secured to drywalls.... nor wood. all of this covered with wood for astetics, apart from mechanical locks high holding force door magnets or deadbolt magets with a suitable entrace control system. pick the locks fine, but you wont get trough the magnetic locks unless hit with a truck, for the windows bars if you can stand the look of it. or some breakproof glass.
some of those entrance doors in the US which can be seen on movies and on different sites which sells these and theft prevention devices are a joke those thin wood doors and the little metal braces which prevents it from opening without force, here is used for door rooms not for entrance, seen a little marketing video not long ago on youtube a small brass bracket was used to prevent the door from opening it was 1 part fixed to the floor the other part was a slide in piece from even thinner brass whichwont withstand the force if you kick the door in or using a crowbar, hinges and locks pops right out of the wood
for the insurance if they operate in similar manners like here they wont pay even third of the things value when you call them out to pay their parts of the contracts

If you want physica security you need tall galvanised steel bar fence, razor wire on top ( and bottom, but here the bougainvillea hedge it replaced cover that pretty well with the spikes and barbs) with electric fence to slow down climbing over the top. then door with external security door ( not bought but made from steel tube, 10mm steel rod and steel plate) with solid wood door. Has decent locks ( not the 99c special you see in the hardware store, but proper commercial property locks from a commercial fittings specialist) and heavy steel burglar bars over every window, so that nothing larger than 10cm can get through even without glass. That last makes it Vervet monkey proof, as they cannot get through, and if the little ones come in they will be severely chastised then tossed out with a reinforced fear of humans.
