Some surprises I've had in this area:Sheriff kicked door down in one house b/c they had a warrant from a previous tenantFound a gun in one house (ended up being a BB gun but looked like a 357 revolver)Had tenants leave the house, left all their stuff, and never heard from them again, after living there for only a few monthsHad a water leak in a ceiling that flooded my garage and damaged ceiling in dining areaOn the positive side, have provide safe, affordable, clean housing for some great people.

Besides carrying a gun, what would be the weapon of choice to have for the coming dog?
