Cleared out a room and busy fixing and setting it up for movies. This enables me to suddenly do almost anything to make burglary of my equipment more difficult. I do not think one could totally remove this risk, but you can for example "make" the equipment break when removed from a rack or anything crazy and effective like this. Once the thieves see the equipment pieces break, they give up with taking the audio equipment and focus on ? the jewels ? whatever, but leave the AV stuff.

I am all ears, as having lost Martin Logans, 3x 250W power amps and B&W 803's and HTM1's etc a few years back has made me super sensitive to this happening again once I have collected all the equipment I want, and set it up.

I am hoping to discover some new workable ideas. Or even way-out ideas could with discussion be made workable.

I also believe that disclosing this is not giving it away to thieves, but rather act as a distraction preventing theft/burglary. This is the same as putting up a camera, that may even not be connected, but being visible it may act as a deterrent to theft.

I am not asking for you to say what you do, or have done. Just a list of ideas, whether practical or not.
