My brother moved his family out into the country and even though crime is not as common in the boonies, my sister was very uncomfortable about being at home alone with her babies so far away from town.

My brother’s answer was to install a home security system, complete with monitoring and loud sirens.  I don’t know if it made her any more comfortable about being so far from others but it did give her a sense of peace knowing that she would know if anybody tried to enter the house.

Wouldn’t a Security System be the coolest family Christmas gift? Well.. maybe for New Years?  You can get the Laser Shield security systems at Kmart, Home Depot, Sears and other home stores.
