These bars are great! Nice job. As to theft... I have an alarm system for the house and an electrically operated/locked gate at the end of my driveway. These do not make it impossible to break in or steal stuff. It makes my neighbors a more attractive target than my place. Same idea. Easy theft is the most common. Thieves are lazy, otherwise they would have jobs like we do. Words straight out of the Officer's mouth after the break in that inspired me to get the alarm system and gate.
