even if you do that,a brand new sawing blade will cut through it and he will have access. The design is the problem not just the material used. Just like the sample below, all you need to do is to cut out one pipe and you have access

These buglars use car jacks to silently expand and break through buglary like these.

sure. But until then, let's do something that isn't electric dependent

I don’t think traps use electricity.

Just imagine other thieves trying to separate their partner from an antelope trap. The shout, pain and cries. I will pay to watch it.

They do start well but hardly end well in most cases, Nigerians are naturally greedy and untrustworthy. They're always loyal and humble when they need help/breakthrough but become uncontrollable/wicked once they achieve their aim.

It's rare to see a trustworthy Nigerian

This is the mindset to achieve greatness. You are on the right track. That money, channel it into any passive investment like real estate. Go sleep, and your seed will grow. Leave the stock market for the experts.
I couldn’t believe it when someone told me that a plot at Bucknor after Jakande estate towards ikotun is now #20M.
That area used to be swamp and for #300k you could get a plot there around 2006.
I meet a Nigerian here in US a few days ago and we started talking. At a point he said he lived in Lagos, and I asked where? and he said Ogudu GRA after Ojota. I said to him, you are big man, that area a plot is not less than #150M. He smiled and said, he bought his for #450k in 1991 when he was a trader .The person is still very much young and active.
As long as you have something doing now, and have little savings coming in, you are already there, no need to stress your life.

Thank You chief, we all are learning from you
This is key, real estate is the best! Well detailed.

The only con attached to real estate is the fact that we can't easily convert assets to liquid cash.

I adopted a slightly different approach.
I filled in fine concrete mix into all the aluminium pipes with an 8mm inserted in. The 8mm rod was used in driving in the concrete into the holes and then left there. Did this for all ground floor windows though. Really heavy to lift during installation.

The problem is not the embedded burglary proof. A properly done embedded burglary has 16mm rod (some 12mm) inside the hollow pipe. So the hollow square pipe you eventually see is just for aesthetic. The Koko of the burglar proof is inside the hollow, so very safe.

With the picture you posted, attention should be paid to the spacing of the pipes in the design of the burglary. Also it should be noted that wire thieves can operate from outside without breaking in if the wiring is done by inexperienced electrician or the electrician was careless. There is a technic to secure the cables tentatively as the wiring is on-going.

This is a slightly different approach and it sounds good.. especially as the only entry for thieves in a storey building is through windows.

Will deter some burglars.. Still wouldn't stop a cable thief though..

this is a blend of silver and black with a touch of cream.

Your painter will have to find out the quantity of the mixture himself. But if he can get it already made, better

This is funny.

But not sure it's practical.

If you have a clean floored compound, nobody will jump into your trap.
