I've become a fan of using traps that require wire cutters because 2Ks rarely have them

Thanks Frosty, that worked

If I bring a brick and a gun into your house, could I kill your wife? If yes, would I make a profit doing so?
These are the things I used to think about when I used my wife in my house.  I stopped hiding her behind doors because someone shot her that way.  This game makes you paranoid based on your mistakes, just make sure she dies a worthy death... because one day she will die.

Yes indeed.  My vault currently has more money in it then I've managed (a whopping 14k) before dying to something as silly as the things in this thread.  part of me wants my house to be robbed so I can see where it is weak, but on the other hand that means my house was robbed and I'm broke.  This game...

Just had one of those today.  checked my house after work, racked up 10 kills so I upgraded my house adding a dog & pit trap... as I was testing the house I realized I forgot the dog to get me over the pit... Oh well, I die every day it seems, at least I can build my house up quickly.

No one has "cracked" one of my houses.  I always end up dying before anyone gets the chance.  Half the time it's to self-tests while the other half is for poor scouting techniques.  I have no idea how to rob people and turn a profit.  too many commit gates, bit locks, and doggy pit traps.

I "try" to keep my wife safe, but try to limit the benefits of someone killing her.  The problem with keeping her though is someone scouts my house, comes back to kill my wife, and while they are there they tear up some walls and throw food everywhere.  I've even had someone do this three times in a row killing one family member each time so that when they destroy my traps, they stay broken.  Depending on how many traps are between him and my vault, I come back to find either find nothing or a broken house with little to no money.

The 1-step death houses also have a way of killing me when I'm not giving the game my full attention.  I know it's my fault, but since any completed house lets you step through the door, I'm never worried about that.  Back to the base $2000 with no idea how to rob someone since everyone has bit locks and magic dog dances. (Both of which unavoidable with 2k).

Thats why they never reach it lordofham!  haha, woops!

All I remember from my early houses is all my 'commit' gates were toggle switches instead of sticky, so robbers could just turn off the traps after setting them off.
