    Glad you were safe inside and that nothing bad happened. I will assume you had nothing outside that he might have been interested in also. A good reason to keep almost everything inside and/or locked up.

    I have noticed through the years that this type of activity spikes when cane season takes a break and the workers are left to fend for themselves with no pay until next season begins around August.

    Good thing that you were still awake and able to do appropriate action. Some things we could do to ward off these intruders:

    1. dogs ( we got 5 local dogs at home and whenever they see or smell strangers they bark like crazy---proper warning for you and believe me, these people are afraid of being bitten or chased by dogs)

    2. flood lights---have a sort of light that you only switch when you notice something strange in the vicinity---when my dogs bark, I usually would switch on all the lights outside

    3. an alarm that you could switch on (police siren sort of alarm) anytime you feel intruders trying to get in

    4. CCTV's even dummy ones will do

    I had Beligian Malinois for many years @home in Europe, so I know exactly where you're talking about. The best dog you can have. But nevertheless, a dog outside is always vulnerable to get poisoned, so @least one dog should be inside the house in case of.

    Have lights front and rear. There’s a 12ft high concrete wall with 5 strands barbed rear the house. The sides..5 ft concrete wall topped with 1ft metal v shaped spikes. Front gate 8 foot...with spikes.

    The bedrooms are like a typical safe room.

    In all the overseas assignments and various cities in the US, this is the first time...something like this has happened.

    Cameras...will look today.

    Bought a puppy last month, part German Shepard..and I don’t know.

    It is a good thing that you were awake and able to do the right move. Guard lights around that area would also help. Have floodlights that you could easily switch on when
