Farm Attacks

First they are attacking due to isolation, now they will suddenly come into town to attack... please make up your mind.

My understanding of his point is that once there are no farmhouses to attack, the thugs will just go to towns and rob everyone, including those who ran away from farmhouses.

Banks found a way to deal with bank robberies but thugs now just wait for that money between bank and depot. Similar. I may be wrong...

Your point 1 is stupid as it won't make any difference. Seems like you cant grasp that fact. They will just come to your rented house in town.

I know plenty of farmers who is renting in town and driving in every morning. You have no idea what fear farmers with families have while sitting isolated.
Seems like you have no grasp on reality.

I do since I lived on a farm half my life and part of my job is advising people against such attacks... But anyway, as you were.

Not always practical. More expensive. There still needs to be someone on the farm, can't move all the equipment and animals into town every night.

1. Rent house in town
2. Commute between farm and town every day like normal working people
3. Demolish the farm house

Some farmers are doing this now already, maybe not point 3

That could work for my family seeing as town is less than 10km away. However this past weekend I had a long ride through farms between Malmesbury and Hopefield. Some of them are more than 50km for the nearest town so this could be impractical.

But I guess more and more farmers are doing exactly that because safety is by far the biggest concern.

There still exists an idiotic perception amongst the unwashed (literally so in this case) masses that white=rich, this explains why they get so angry when a victim tells them there is nothing to steal.... their perception only leaves room for anything contrary to be lies.

Wealth and guns. Also, a safe = money.

It's probably even worse for employers who pay their employees in cash. One moment, the trusted employee sees the safe full of cash, organises a robbery and between her seeing the money and implementation of the robbery plan, the employer pays employees. Then the thugs arrive to find an empty safe...

You can fix a lot of things but stupid aint one of them.... some people literally can't think beyond the "now" or the "just now".

Or they may not even see the safe, or money at all. They all know that since it is payday, there must be a LOT of money (possibly in a safe), because hey, everybody got paid, right?

Maybe a solution would be to go totally cashless, everybody get a bank account, and their wage/salary is paid into that, no cash on the premises.

So, satisfy them. Put something like a claymore mine in it.
