    If you send SMS/Text your Street number will be stated??

    Is there such a Mobile app?
    Home invasions seem the "norm"in main cities quick and violent
    Nobody knows nothing till police arrive.
    Still unlikely to be you but everyone in your street will be protected
    by this

    Just having people look and taking note (Car numbers, mobile photos)
    is a deterrent.

    A 23-year-old man has had his hand severed in a home invasion in
    Sydney's south-west.
    Four masked men broke into a home in Greenacre about 2am on Saturday
    demanding cash.

    This one "WatchTower" is free on Google Play not any good reports
    about it? <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.porterversetech.watchtower&hl=en_AU>

    "WeWatch" another seems a little better but not great. <https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wewatchapp.app&hl=en_AU>
