Good luck!

Sorry Barry - but I don't subscribe to your suggestion that nothing beats insurance. I'd rather not attract the criminal in the first place. My insurance policy goes up every time someone else is knocked off, so if all they see is a garden shed, it looks like all the others in the neighborhood - and not as "special" as an obvious observatory. I think that if had what you've put up on your lawn, on my front lawn (in our area), it'd be targetted every day.
