OP could attach a metal grid over the opening, bars would be a good
description.

allows light, airflow etc but no one could use the concealed space to
break in the door.

Ooh! Good idea!

Sort of horizontal burglar bars. Cool!

Not only would such provide an extra layer of protection, it would move the
initial attack to the light of day (or moon),

a local metal supplier could probably weld one together, just consider
getting out if theres a fire.

how valuable was the TV?

We got it for $700 in June or July. Seems like it's a little cheaper
now.

Burglars do not 'burglarize'. Burglars burgle. There is no such word as

••••• "Burglarize" exists in my newest Canadian dictionary, my
American dictionary, and my on-line dictionary. However, Wikipedia
tells me that it is not yet recognised in Britain.

I've noticed that the English language spoken in Newfoundland (island
province off Canada's east coast) often is much older (less changed)
than that spoken in the UK.

Some old guys (like I) have difficulty accepting that languages
change---sometimes in different locations; some folks just roll with
it.

Do you use the spelling "through" or "thru" ?

Absolutely true. Reason I want to concentrate on this spot is that
it's very hidden, so a burglar can take his time smashing through and
not be seen.

Cut to the chase. Burglers do not like motion sensor lights.



I setup a motion sensor light for a friend but added
a 120 volt Edwards fire horn. One night he said the
thing went off and he found bloody torn bits of clothing
on the barbed wire fence behind his place.
