Security

Security is a big thing here.  Unfortunately breaking into peoples homes is pretty common.

So Brasilians, as well as our family, do all we can to deter a break in from happening.

Most homes, like ours, have bars on the windows and doors. The property lines of most homes, like ours, are surrounded by a 8-9 foot tall metal fence. Usually on top of the fences, like ours, is a 2-3 foot high electric fence. Electric wiring going all around the house set to give someone a good shock if they try to go over the fence.

We also pay for a street guard.  Most people who live in homes pay a man to guard the street.  His job is to keep an eye on the homes he is being paid to watch.  He will then call the homeowner, he will act or he will call the police if he sees something that isn't right. We are blessed to have our guard literally about 30 feet from our front door.  His guard shack is on the corner right in front of our house. He's been the guard here for many years.  He's a good man.

Most apartments also have fences and electric fences as well.  They also have guards at the doors.  No one goes in our out of the apartment complex unless you see the guard first.  Some are more strict with requirements than others.

A lot of people have dogs.  Some are, obviously, for pets but some are for the purpose of being a guard dog.  Most criminals don't like the presence of any type of dogs.  Either way its a good deterrent. In our case I'd say that right now our dogs definitely fall on the pet side and not the guard dog side.  The very pampered pet side.

In our house we have all these security measures in place and, praise God, we've never had anyone break into our home.

We've also been blessed with an extra security measure that most people don't have.

Our very own super hero.

If you know Anderson very well then you know that he IS Wolverine.

So, if you need a body guard you can give us a call.  You can believe that Wolverine is up for your challenge.
