Funny that you can be sarcastic about it. The affected families with children who were sleeping and got visited by robbers pointing weapons at them for a bit of quick cash can surely see the humor in it all. If it's in Expressen, then it didn't even happen, I've just learned that.
No, I wasn't being sarcastic. In that case, I could say that TS is also being sarcastic—with me... it's just that we live in different realities, I described mine.

But I agree that my post didn't advance the question or the thread further, I agree to that extent.
But these follow-up discussions don't either, so you are also driving the thread off-topic.
We can continue discussing this in a few more posts, if you want.

There is a thread about protection in walls (primarily for the scenario where a terror cell is in a vehicle shooting at houses along the road).

The original poster requested construction advice. Everyone who wants to discuss the OP's mental health
There are people who have a need to find someone to pick on. Someone who stands out a bit from the crowd. A little jab can get a few thumbs up from like-minded people. It does wonders for the neurotransmitters.

Don’t read Expressen; it's not a healthy newspaper
You're right. Instead, read free media and, above all, check the sources. A couple of decades ago, I fact-checked a publication called SD-Kuriren. I ordered verdicts from district courts and appellate courts around the country and could ascertain that the reporting matched the sources. (That particular publication was characterized by occasional sarcastic remarks about the background of perpetrators, whereas media like Expressen are characterized by omitting descriptions unless the perpetrator has obtained citizenship. Then they never miss pointing out that the perpetrator is "Swedish." The times a suspect is blond or blue-eyed, it's a real celebration at the editorial office.)

But those who don't want to believe won't, even when you have a binder full of "tales from district and appellate courts." However, now 20 years later, you probably need hundreds of university credits in criminology, preferably from Södertörn University, to believe that what is happening isn't happening.

Then you are doing right according to the survival pastor. Dogs should be purposeful, trained, and two in number.

If you think the threat is a home invasion while you're at home, the experiences of American police concerning home defense might be relevant; I made a video about it in Swedish when I lived in the USA
If you know English, this is also interesting:

Counting on the police to arrive in 10 to a maximum of 20 minutes.
Unless you have good contacts, I see this as a major weakness in your plan. Imagine yourself as a gender-certified low-affectational "hen" police officer who has hardly run 3 kilometers in 9 minutes but certainly has the right values. Do you then go and bother some extremely dangerous "Orten" guys who "know where your mailbox lives," or would you rather pick up a frustrated poor pensioner who has written a racial slur on Facebook? Swedes must realize they do not have the state on their side. What you need is what preppers call a Mutual Assistance Group. And you do not need to rely on the Internet or mobile networks.

A completely ordinary Wednesday morning in Älvsjö: "Knife-wielding man broke into family's home".
It's not easy to keep track of how many similar incidents have occurred this week, but if we are to believe the criminologists at Byggahus:

  • The family with children living in the townhouse has flaunted their wealth on social media, and then the children have to expect to wake up to shattered glass
  • They have themselves to blame for not moving to an area where this doesn't happen
  • It's only Expressen that highlights the negative, everyone should just read news about the mellon instead
  • The family is paranoid if they thought this could happen to them
Have I understood it correctly?

What are you really trying to say with this post?

That I think it is incredibly unsympathetic, lacking in empathy, and ignorant to sit here and rant, claiming that anyone who believes this could happen is crazy and paranoid. Especially when similar terrible events are happening more frequently and affecting a lot of people.

My feeling is more that many thought it was rather exaggerated to rebuild one's home in the way that TS planned. There are different ways to keep trouble out...

And this despite the fact that no one here knows anything about TS's background and situation and threat level. And despite TS being clear that he didn't want opinions on this, only building advice. Nevertheless, people had to chime in and belittle and ridicule.

But that was not the aspect I reacted to. It was all those who ridicule that such events happen and essentially blame the victims because they "should move."

Congratulations to those of you who think this is science fiction, but for many others, these are now events that unfortunately hardly raise an eyebrow when they occur yet again in the neighborhood. Mocking other people's expense just because you can't put yourself in their situation is quite unsympathetic. Claiming that this only happens if you flaunt your money while seeing headline after headline about yet another 90-year-old beaten up and robbed in their home or a family with children waking up to glass shattering is quite distasteful.

But the news reporting says nothing, I have learned here, because they only highlight the worst. If there hasn't been any increase, one might still wonder why the media didn't find news value in these events a few years ago.
