Our girls bedrooms are on the 2nd floor, outside 3 of the windows is the roof to the family room. We have learned that the girls are taking the screen out of the bathroom window and going out on the roof. So far, they have not tried to get down from the roof, but boys have been known to come to our yard in the middle of the night and one or both of the teen girls go out on the roof to talk to them.
Our house is an older house and we recently put in double hung vinyl replacement windows - and the screen is one extra piece Ibut has little prongs that you can pull out to remove it. We live in an area where the nights are cool and comfortable now, and it is common to open the windows part way for fresh air. Soon, they will be closed up tight for the winter.
Are there some kind of alarms we can add to the windows without the cost of a security system? I am afraid that most alarms that people would put on temporarily would be easy to dismantle from the inside. I have seen things that don't have to be wired in. Some are made for when you are traveling and staying at hotels. But, I assume it would be easy to just turn those kind off from the inside.
Does anybody have any affordable ideas? Just for my own curiosity, I have added two pieces of clear scotch tape so I will be able to tell if the screen has been removed. I doubt that they would notice it... KSM
