Read the following e-mail received from a local Foxboro neighbor on a prevention tip:
______________________________
"In addition to the padlocks in our old neighborhood we were told to buy individual door alarms. You can buy them in a pack of 4 for around $10. We found them at Ross, but Khols, Target, etc should carry them too. They just attach to the top of your door frame and when opened an alarm starts blaring. We bought them to actually alert us to when our children were escaping. :)Sometimes we couldn't hear from our bedroom door to the backdoor and these came in super handy. They have 3 settings on them 1 being the constant loud alarm, the 2nd one beeps for 30 seconds and the 3rd is the silent position. They are these tiny plastic suckers but they sure can be loud and scary and I'm sure would they have an intruder running from the area pretty fast thinking that it was a real house alarm.
They worked really well for the purpose we used them for and I'm sure it would work great as an extra precaution along with the stick in the door. etc. They can also be bought and used specifically for windows. Just a thought."

I love the individual door alarm idea. Has anyone found a pack? All I can find are bigger ones, just for one door and they seem to be between 20-30 dollars each. I would love to find a pack of 4 smaller ones.
