Same. There aren't any blind spots getting up to my house.I start out with motion cameras. I like a heads-up and they work much better than beer cans on a string.

Me as well. Although in hindsight I was a bit shortsighted in my setup because they're all Ring devices and run on WiFi... so, if the power goes out so do my cameras. Never really even thought about it about it until Zeta took out my power for four days last week and I realized I was flying blind. I'm pot committed at this point and it works 95% of the time, but I think if I was going to start again I'd get a wired system with a local hard drive.
Mossberg 500 pump and a couple of beautiful Cane Corsos. Honestly, I'd rather take on the Mossberg if I was creeping.
Regardless of the situation if your going to pull a gun out on someone than you better be prepared to possibly end their life. Shooting someone with rock salt, a non lethal, or even less than lethal round is a terrible idea.
what would you do if you walked outside with a shotgun loaded with rock salt and the person committing theft has a firearm? You just turned a bad situation into a terrible situation. I keep my shotguns cruiser ready with 00 buck. I have one box of #4 frangible buck but I’m not comfortable loading that into my shotguns since I e never had a chance to test it out myself and haven’t seen any ballistic testing done on it. The fact of the matter is anything that’s strong enough to neutralize a threat is going to be strong enough to Penetrate wood or dry wall. Maybe look into a modified choke for home protection to keep the pattern tighter or use a pistol instead. Unless you live out in the country I would t even consider using slugs.
If someone is willing to blatantly steal a large item such as a generator, do you think they would have any regard for your safety/life if you confronted them? Sympathy is for the weak, and the weak rarely survive.Sorry to bump an old thread, but could you live you life knowing that you executed a theif for taking your generator? If you're that worried you should save up and buy a backup. I'd rather be cold or hot for a couple weeks than have to live with an execution over an item.
...now if they try to enter your home and you feel you and your family may be in danger, neutralize the threat and move on with your life.
Simple answer is realize the situation. It's not worth confronting them. Take pictures from the windows and seek LLEA after the fact. I don't know how many people went to the urban area of houma after the last hurricane, but we witnessed many similar scenarios, it's 50/50 if they are doing it out of desperation and just trying to live with what you have or if it's a malicious robbery for financial gain.If someone is willing to blatantly steal a large item such as a generator, do you think they would have any regard for your safety/life if you confronted them?

I would regret the fact that they valued their life so little, they were willing to trade it for my generator.Sorry to bump an old thread, but could you live you life knowing that you executed a theif for taking your generator?
