Well that method works well too! I'm certainly not beyond it, if I can remember the combination to my hubby's gun safe to get mine out! All locked up because of the kiddies. But it's when I'm NOT home that the other solutions are nice.
I definitely worry about this after having a goat stolen from my barn earlier this year. The goat was located and charges were filed, and I have since really increased the security in and around all my barns and home. Including barn cams and hidden cams that can catch them red-handed on video...
