Had a messed up dream last night. Was walking back home from some kind of event or something and noticed some people carrying golf clubs, boxes and other stuff, it seemed odd because it was like 3am. Then it occurred to me they were probably going house to house stealing stuff so I was dreading the idea that they might have already gotten my house. I get to my house and sure enough I see the door latch is busted and the door was still slightly open. I notice decorative pictures missing thinking "what a bunch of assholes why even steal stuff like that" but at same time hope that's all they stole. I immediately panic thinking they probably took all my servers but could still hear the fans and was too worried to even go down there to check right away so I proceed to my computer room and see that half my monitors are gone and so is the PC. I then start to panic thinking, do I try to go chase after them while they're still near or just call the cops.
Woke up at that moment with a relief it was just a dream. Kinda a wakeup call though, theft is very bad in my city and I probably should up my security. Especially my server room, need to finish it. My shed is not very secure either since the door opens outwards, I didn't think that through when I decided to go that way. The latch is super easy to just push with a credit card or something. Though I think I'm just going to put a separate alarm system in that one with a very loud siren. Even if the power is out it won't matter, they can cut my hydro feed all they like. The house alarm system also has battery backup and uses GSM. I guess a cell jammer would disable it though, but think if the communication is broken they get an alert and call me. Should test that some day actually.
