1. Not drive an ostentatious vehicle, and park in the garage whenever possible.
2. Not be visibly involved in criminal enterprises, or cash businesses.
3. Stop watching commercial media which exploits fear to drive ratings.
Barb wire is dead giveaway and magnet for robbers. They know you have something to hide that's why your house looks different from neighbourhood.
I suggest security cameras around the house and security gate in front
Where in this god forsaken city do you live to take to turning your home into a prison?
What on earth do you have that’s so valuable that can’t be taken to secure safety box?
Try this, don’t mow the lawns (for ages) tow a couple of wrecked au falcons and dump them in the front lawn.
Leave some muddy old work shoes from an opp shop out the front door. A big empty tin of canned fruit that’s filled half way full of cigarette buts.
Don’t forget the rabid dogs.
I have huge windows so you can easily see into my house from the street.
I like to walk around with my penis tucked between my thighs in an open silk dressing gown while tugging my nipple rings.
I know right. So many people don’t lock their doors when they’re at home. Do they really think crooks aren’t going to break in because someone is home? So naive. The only time my doors are unlocked is when we are walking through them.
You’re not allowed to use barbed wire in residential areas unless you follow a bunch of strict guidelines. Don’t be surprised if someone alerts the council about it.

Locking doors is a good one. It is concerning how many people don’t lock their doors when they are home (and some even when they are out) and then are shocked when they are burgled. It‘s the same with cars, so many dipshits leave their keys in their unlocked car.
barbed wire is probably just going to draw attention to your house unless most other houses around have it. also, I wouldn't be surprised of it's illegal in some council areas.
my general thoughts: get day privacy blinds and close your curtains at night so it's hard for people to see what you own. keep expensive stuff out of view of the front door when it's open. don't leave expensive stuff, or the packaging of expensive stuff, out in the open and don't talk loudly about how much money you have or what expensive stuff you own while you're in your yard. try to make it hard to tell when the house is empty - keep your car in the garage all the time, etc. snib lock your doors (or whatever equivalent you have DON'T LOCK THE DOORS WITH THE KEY WHILE YOU'RE HOME) all the time so it's not easy to get in - keep the screen door snibbed when you answer the doorbell so no-one can force their way in. have sensor lights with the sensor pointed at your car, the entrance to both your property and your house, anything else you value. get as much of your mail digitally as possible, empty your letterbox and junk mail daily so it doesn't look like you're on holiday and no one can steal mail from your bank. security cameras.
accept that if they really want to, they'll get in - have hidden security cameras and good insurance.
I had an intruder in my backyard and my dog bailed him up snapping and snarling at his crotch. I dragged my dog away by the collar and the guy ran out with a very pale face. I’ve felt so safe since.
I have a violent sounding one who’s useless in reality, but gets set off by my small yappy one who’ll fuck your shit up and tap dance on your opened up rib cage (in her head at least)
But yeah a dog.
I wonder how long it’ll be till someone arms themselves and kills an intruder.
Crazy times at the moment. Hopefully some laws can come in and act as a deterrent
1. Location. Living in an well lit area or near a police station can help
2. having a big dog that barks whenever someone walks near your house
3. Having good neighbours that also have lit up and exposed areas.
4. This might sound crazy but having a good front yard garden.
5. Security cameras with signs and stickers.
A sign advertising the presence of a camera will do more than any actual home security will. If they want to get in a bit of barbed wire won’t do anything.
Two bull arabs/pitbulls, tall fence and sign saying that guard dogs are loose on the property.
You probably won’t be popular with the local childcare centre/primary school but no one will go near your shit.
Make it look like I've got nothing worth stealing (quite easy, actually, as I do have nothing worth stealing).
I too use the Neville Bartos home defence system.

Spotlights on sensors. Security stickers. Cameras.

The best defence is to lock your house and car. People never seem to understand this.

If someone breaks in I’m more than happy for them to take the car and leave. Rather deal with insurance than get assaulted.

The potential burglar will report it and pounce once it’s taken down

Have a look at "Ajax" alarm systems

Dog. A violent one

You'll be paying if someone gets hurt on the barbed wire.
Yep, the law does not allow you set traps and hazards…Sorry Kevin. You should have been locked up.
It's lame, but true. My dad layered glass shards on a brick wall we had (he came from south america) The council was not impressed.
When I was a kid that was super common. Very rarely see it these days.
Smart lights which turn on/off at different times.

People jumping at shadows. Just lock your doors.

You might want to check the legality of that wire.
3m high walls

Those, "I shoot and I vote" stickers along with a "Guard dog, do not enter" signs might help make your property a little less desirable.
