I have a lot of doors not actually attached to anything, just propped up against the wall. Which doors are real? Sometimes even I forget. This one's not so much a home defense tip as it is a decorating one.

Did you ever read that book The House of Leaves?
Do that.
I mean, I never read the book but there's a cursed house in it... I assume.
Anyway the point is put a curse on your house so it become evil and confusing.

A bunch of ducks might work better because if theyre serious about robbing you or are assassins a dog will make them rush you but if a bunch of ducks or whatever were disturbed theyd try to be more quiet

I'm a lone pretentious pervert if you need help with that. I also pierce ears. Let me into your house to pierce ears, your own or a family member's. I do not use a gun.

For a nominal fee I can actually break into your house and steal your possessions. I will leave behind a detailed diagram of how I did it and the security gaps which need to be addressed.

Why would you think that just because OP wants me to come over to his house he's interested in the services of a pretentious perver..... ooohhh. I see. Nevermind.

there was a reality show that did this and after the guys hit them once and told them how to keep from getting robbed they wait like a week and break in to the house again just to see if they can and usually the owners completely ignored their advice

I was playing Harvest Moon 64 with this kid who lived on my street and my cows were not doing well and I got so raged up and frustrated that my eyes welled up with tears and my friend was like are you crying dude. Are you crying because of the cows. I didn't understand the feeding mechanic.

If you have bamboo chopsticks, a lighter, a sharp knife, rubbing alcohol, and a little tenacity you can make yourself a degree.

Take a 20" threaded steel rod, 1 1/2lbs of lead, and a roll of duct tape. Melt the lead in a short cylindrical mould (an empty aerosol can is perfect), then insert the end of the threaded steel rod into the molten lead and allow it to set. Carefully peel the mould off once it has cooled (be careful, it stays hot for a long time), then wrap duct tape around the other end to act as a grip. I'd advise drilling the end of the handle as well to attach a lanyard. Smaller and cheaper than a Katana, and also makes a great doorstop. Just make it in a well-ventilated space, as huffing molten lead fumes is not good for you.

You can put a carpet over it or else just find real punji instead of trying to camouflage sticks.

Ok I went to the hardware store and bought a bunch of wire and nails. I used the wire to tie three nails criss-cross-applesauce. I fulled a five gallon bucket with these so now before I go to bed at night, I just dump out the suckers in the hallway outside my room. Nobody's gonna get me from there! I also rigged up a handy dandy collection tool (a magnet on a string) to clear a path if I have to go potty in the middle of the night.

When someone breaks in, do two pushups and say "nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine, ten thousand!" Jump up and give a couple of air punches. Then pretend to notice the intruders. Smile slowly. Strike a kung-fu pose.

Become a hoarder and strategically barricade all entrances and exits (and everything in between) with stacks of old newspapers, used toilet paper, piss jugs and dead cats. Nobody robs a hoarder!

Bonus: your friends( hahahah you don't have any) and family will stop visiting you, leaving more time for watching anime and playing WoW.

I hear if you donate like 100k to Star Citizen on kickstarter, you will be provided a real life replica of StarFucker 200 MKII spaceship once the game ships.

Protected by powerful arrays of auto-lasers and unbreakable doors built to withstand the vacuum of space, you will never have to worry about a home invasion.
