You're right. My Dad always says the best way to secure something is to avoid letting people know you have it.
Everyone's got a Ring/Google doorbell nowadays...it's not really an indicator of wealth.
I hovered over the purchase button on the "F15H XL" number plate once, but decided that advertising the vans contents wasn't the best idea. I try not to use Angling Clubs windscreen stickers on the glass, I just get them out and lay on the dash if I have to park in a club car park that requires it.
Ideally things need to be secure enough that breaking in makes a lot of noise. Then hopefully you get woken by the noise and you can disturb them.
When I got my first house years ago I got an expensive side door put into the garage. The guy was talking about the sheets of steel in the door etc etc etc whilst he sold/fitted it.
Having completed the fitting I said how I was happy the garage was now safe to which he replied "They'll come in through the roof, if they want it they'll get it"

Yup you are right and I think the same.
We had an attempted break in around march this year before I got them but then so did 12 others in the street.
my mrs then **** her self whenever we were going out so it's worth it for peace of mind.
doesn't matter what you do if some scummy Herbert wants in they can unless you put bars on everything and live in Fort Knox what ya gonna do.
Funny thing is they left 2 sheds to try to get in through the kitchen window.
Plod came and did finger prints found a couple and a palm print but nothing will happen.

it doesn't matter nowadays what alarm, camera ,etc you have on your house out buildings..if the scummy toe rags want in they will get in..what about your neighbours,whos to say they don't pass on to anyone and say that you have fishing gear after seeing you countless times loading and unloading your motors.what about any trades who work on or in your property passing on info to anyone..happened to my mum recently, new floors laid and the only person outside the family who would of known her safe was under the stairs would be the floor layer.2 weeks later broken into, safe taken,,and it wasn't a Mickey Mouse safe either, big fck off solid steel one bolted to floor and wall..

You should have played the victim card and told plod you felt personally violated and are suffering anxiety trauma because you identify as (insert whatever tripe here) and were being targeted on a personal level in a hate crime.

I had a new system with cameras fitted after we'd had some strange goings on in our back garden. I also said to my wife that this was all well and good but all we've done is possibly given ourselves a nice recording of someone nicking our stuff.
