I am not surprised it is in the top 10, but being the absolute worst? I did not see that. But I guess it's good to know that my vigilence when it comes to locking doors is justified. 1.

Royce White for Mayor? Once elected, he'd refuse to show up until all the city's problems had been resolved. He's got my vote.
If you own a house, there is no reason not to install an alarm system that works off of cellphone towers. You can usually get the system installed for free with a monitoring agreement. The only houses that get burglarized in my neighborhood are the ones without alarm systems. If you rent, buy a gun. Or a big dog. Or have a very ugly 300 pound woman move in and never leave......
Surprising 2 Texas cities are on the list. Don't most people know that almost every house in Texas is guaranteed to have guns!!!
This is probably why Rox home games are always half empty and pathetically quiet. Noone wants to leave their house alone. And the ones who do show up are constantly checking their security cameras on their cell phone instead of making noise. Obviously the entire Rowdy crowd is homeless.
I know that it's hard to claim Dallas, but for the sake of the study, you have to at least acknowledge that they're within Texas borders.
I have the same set up with a sign and decals on all the doors. The house already had nice glass security doors on the front and back door but I ended up installing security doors on the other 2 doors leading outside. Even with a alarm, someone could easily kick in the door and have plenty of time to grab the key valuables...the security doors just add that extra speed bump. I'm probably more paranoid than need be but I just don't want to have to experience a home break in. At the end of the day, if someone wants to get in they could but you have to do what you can to deter them as much as possible. At my old apartment they would be a rash of car break ins about twice a year, where they would hit multiple cars in one night. My car was been broken into twice over a few year span. My friend had his truck stolen in broad daylight there. He got it back 2 days later unharmed, but with the added bonus because the thief left his ***** Action 20 CD in the deck.
very true, but not everyone wants to have the responsibilities of a dog. I think the security benefits of a dog should be an added benefit of having a dog, not a motivating factor.
That's really surprising, I would have considered it to be lower since gun ownership here is so high.
