    I'm with you Noel. My studio has a big front door too (garage). In
    the summer I have the garage door open when I'm working. I have
    strategically staged the usual garage junk in the front so the casual
    observer has no idea what I do. It looks just like another messy
    garage. My neighbor directly across the street knows what I do but he
    is the only one. I rarely have a customer visit except for one
    wholesale account. 

    I used to store my SS wire on a pegboard and SS sheet in a hanging
    folder file drawer. A friend of mine and fellow silversmith made the
    comment about visiting my garage some night. All metals are now
    stored in the safe. 

    No alarm yet. The Lasersheild home security sold at Compusa looks
    like an interesting option. In the mean time I could get one of my
    dogs to sleep in the garage at night. Let's see... There's the 90 lb
    chocolate lab that's scared of every loud noise or the 5 lb Chihuahua
    that thinks he's a Pitbull...
