**  That is what we've done about our house; we're happy to let it appear
run-down and owned by people without any property worth stealing. My own
long hair and beard are doing something similar for me (unsuitable and of
no apparent value), though it does bring quite a lot of stares.

**  Would you be willing to tell us what might happen if you were much more
conspicuous?

** I hope you don't regard posting that to this list as "blowing your
cover"! There may be ways around that, though - from: sending the real
names and/or descriptions to 6-10 of us by direct e-mail then posting to
the list a misleadingly-named description; to sending the e-mails via a
"secure server", perhaps using PGP coding and a browser to read the e-mail.
