   Try a bullet hole in a prominent front facing window.  I inadvertently   
   lauched a wayward slug through my 2nd story bedroom window overlooking   
   my street side garage/driveway.  Only had one theft of two unsecured   
   stainless steel kegs.  My fault, as I left them in plain sight.  Other   
   than that, no probs in 10 yrs, despite living half a block from a high   
   school.   
      
   People used to ask, "Is that a bullet hole?"  "Yes", I'd reply.  "How   
   did it get there?", they'd invariably follow with.  "Kinda makes ya'   
   wonder, don't it!", was my final word on the subject.  Worked   
   infinitely better than that lame old sign, "This property protected by   
   Smith and Wesson".  ;)
