I am saddened and afraid of recent increase in cases where thieves open houses during the day and get off with electronics

I have heard around 5 different cases in different neighbourhoods.

The thieves seem to have master keys for most locks and padlocks and do not break anything?

Which padlocks are the best to buy? which ones are 'bure'?

What measures have you put in place to ensure safety?

so, @subzero did you finally get a good padlock? what would you ( and other wazuans )recommend besides the high priced solex type?
i bought an oriv - reverse viro - recently and haven't used it despite the shopkeepers assurance.

buy the one's with an alarm. the keys are hard to duplicate. alternatively, use two padlocks as added security. https://www.facebook.com...evant_count=1&ref=nf
