>>So guns , dogs etc I imagine your postman leaves things well down the drive :-).

>Out here in the middle-of-nowhere, we've had the same postman, UPS, and FedEx guys for many years.
>We have 3 BIG dogs (all are extremely friendly) that let us know when they arrive, and then head for the trucks to see what treats the guys brought.
>The UPS guy originally would stay in the van and honk his horn for us to come out. He was terrified of dogs in general (good career choice). Once he was introduced properly, he now calls them by name to give them treats and play with them in the yard if he has time.

now the intruder only has to kidnap the UPS van with this guy...
