Ease and Comfort Equals Security

     Since I moved here in Nogales, I am already accustomed to see trucks with green stripes of border patrols, blue stripes of custom officers, plane white of national guards and the typical while cars of the local police and sheriff office. Statistically, the number of authority in uniforms is way more than the actual number of the local residents in our city. The presence of these uniformed officers bring feeling of security and assurance that committing  an illegal intrusion to properties is just like committing a suicide. Personally, I was thinking that way before an event that changed my perspective occurred.
     I was living in a two-door apartment. I love the location of my apartment because it literally overlooks  the city. I like the serenity of my neighborhood because majority of the houses are not fully occupied with many people. There are at least 1 or two people living in each house. Every afternoon, I enjoy walking around and looking into beautiful and well maintained yards. I noticed few signs of security devices installed in the front lawn of some houses. I did not give much attention to them. I go to work and come home everyday feeling certain that things are just fine. Until one afternoon, I arrived with police cars parked in front of my apartment. I went to see the happenings and I came to know that unit A was robbed. Someone had cut the round bars of the windows and got inside the place to loot some appliances. The event awaken my senses that there is no assurance for security.As soon as I got myself settled in my place, I was scrambling into my mouse searching the net information on home security.  In my search, I come into the www.allhomesecurity.com where I found a very functional security system.The site offered me information and outline of the system I needed.  Few contacts and discussion with the house owner and I am off into having my own system at home.
     The installation of this new system gave me some opportunities for new learning and discovery but most of all, it gives me a real sense of steadiness. It is often true that I felt comfortable that I am living in a safe place but a  concrete evidence that I am protected makes a difference. I can be away from my place for days and not worry if somebody had already taken over my little acquisition in my humble abode. I enjoyed time more than I did before. I might be living alone but I knew that within each complete cycle of the clock somebody I can rely is monitoring me. Every morning as I walk around, I always stop infront of my yard to look at the little sign that shouts ease and comfort, my security warning sign!
