re: Shop break in

Our sheriff (CF & I would be within the same jurisdiction) has openly stated for people to arm themselves in the past.  I'm far enough from the city that we don't have police, just deputies and the highway patrol when needed so the city PD may have a different opinion about such encouragement.  I've been pretty lazy regarding security but it hasn't biten me yet, I'm at the back of the neighborhood and it seems darn near every other house has a RING doorbell so they'll certainly be on several videos if they make the trek.  I think part of it is criminals are lazy and wouldn't want to put forth the effort when there's more desirable targets closer.  My beat up Pontiac with clearcoat peeling and my truck in the driveway aren't nearly enticing as the neighbor's BMW, Tesla & Porche Taycan.
