We just finished university and our 2nd daughter was still a baby when we decided to move into a family owned centuries old house mid in forests. After half a year there were reports of south-east European robber bands striving around and robbing in near cities. Most of them were former commandos soldiers and they knew how to hide in forests, and we had a lot of them around, forests and robber bands.
Geese and 2 big dogs as an outer defence system, electronic sensors around the house, creating something like a safe room, ... But nothing ever passed the geese. 3 dead foxes as a proof. If it weren't the geese then the robbers had good intelligence. We hadn't much money left after paying the cousins who were co-owners.
