What's the best home security system? Ring vs SimpliSafe vs ADT
Moving into a new house next month and want to set up security from day one. Done some research but there are too many options and every review site seems sponsored.

Package thieves are out of control in my neighborhood
Three packages stolen in the last month. I have a Ring doorbell so I have footage of all three. Different person each time. One guy pulled up in a car, grabbed it in 5 seconds, and drove off.

5Doorbell camera caught someone trying my door at 3am
Ring doorbell alert at 3:12am. Checked the footage. Guy walks up to my front door, tries the handle, it's locked, and he walks to the next house.

5Is it just me or has shoplifting gotten way worse?
Went to get toothpaste yesterday. It was locked behind plexiglass. Had to find an employee to unlock it. Waited 10 minutes. For toothpaste. Deodorant: locked. Razors: locked.

5Catalytic converter theft: which cars are most targeted?
Neighbor's catalytic converter got cut off his truck overnight. Second one on our street in a month. Takes less than 90 seconds with a battery saw apparently.

5Car break-ins happening every night on my street
Fourth car on our street broken into this week. They're not smashing windows — they're just checking door handles. If it's unlocked they go in, grab whatever they can, and move to the next one.
