The vast majority of the crimes in Valencia were theft and robbery. There were no murders, one or two homicides, a motorcycle or two stolen and few cases of physical violence. I've lived here for 5 years and I'd say all that's needed was a bit of common sense and some dogs (though my monkey does a hell of a lot better job at scaring away people and making a lot of noise when unfamiliar people come around....also makes for a great warning system for snakes.). Razor wire and CCTV doesn't hurt any and I am thinking about some pepper spray/stun gun in case someone decides to come in my house uninvited while I am there so they have a better chance of getting the proper beating they deserve.

As for the methods used, didn't really get a chance to talk much about that. My guess is that most of the thefts against foreigners were probably assisted by a helper/family member living on the property.

I agree - it's mostly common sense. It also helps if you're on good terms with your Philippino neighbours - they can be as good as CCTV.
