We had a burglary recently, with a break-in. And apart from tools getting lost (which
is mostly because we're sloppy) and some stuff being thrown away without consensus
(which we solved by making a 'purgatory table' with a 28-days timeout before anything
goes out.

As for the burglars, we've gone completely post-9-11 about that and installed
barbed wire outside, used fake cams (which i want to see gone because they give
a really sucky impression), and made lots of plans no-one carried out yet :)
