SUMMARY:
- Obviously, you can’t be home 24/7. That’s why you need some extra eyes on your house for when you’re away. So, get on friendly terms with those who live around you.
- Showing off your costly stuff doesn’t do you any good. If anything, it only gives ideas to shady people.
- Your home could be a full-on fortress fit with high-end safety technology and state-of-the-art door and window locks. But if you carelessly left a ladder outside for the day, you could come back from work only to find that your house has been robbed.
- A flash of bright light in the dark of night may help you kill two birds with one stone. It’ll disorient the criminal for a few moments and give you a heads up that something’s going on in or around your house.
- If your lawn is unkempt, it’s a clear sign that nobody’s around to tend to it. Hire someone to do it for you while you’re away so that the wrong people don’t get the wrong idea.
- f your mailbox is brimming with newspapers, flyers, and other correspondence while you’re away, it also sends potential burglars a message that nobody’s been home for a while.
- You can share vacation plans with your trusted people, especially if you need them to check in on your house while you’re away, but social media is definitely a no-go.
- While burglars are more likely to break into a house from the first floor, they can see an opportunity in a tall-growing tree that looks right into a window on the second floor.
- This sounds pretty obvious, but you shouldn’t forget that burglars love silence. They prefer to go about their business quietly so that they don’t bring attention to themselves.
- A vast majority of burglaries are perpetrated by people who have been to your house before.
- If you leave a large pair of work boots on your porch, they’ll get a potential burglar thinking that there’s someone home at the moment.
- As much as you may love lavishness, you’d better at least keep it away from prying eyes. Burglars have a good eye for valuable items.
- Yes, that’s right, your garbage can tell potential robbers what to look for in your house. For example, if you throw away the box from a brand-new flat screen TV, they’ll know you have one.

After I had a burglary, the police told me that often crooks come back, a couple of weeks later, to rob you of the new stuff, that you've claimed on your insurance! So, the following day I put a note in my window saying---
"Don't bother! We were't insured; and we're too broke to replace anything".

[videotroll]

I set traps around my window and doors!! If someone walk near it at night a bell will ring. It's sound crazy but works. 💯😂😂

how to keep a burglar away in 2020:
COUGH

[oldschool]

I'm writing these ideas out for single women, children and teens.
1. Keep your windows and doors covered and locked, especially at night- mini blinds, shades, or heavier curtains are a must at night. It's not just for burglars, but peeping perves too.
2. Don't answer the door unless you know who it is, especially after dark. Children and teens should never answer the door when their home alone, even if it's someone their familiar with.
3. Use light timers in your home, for when your away on vacation and for not entering a dark home any other time.
4. Keep a light on or two overnight. The kitchen and living room are good rooms for this. You can use the light timer for this, even staggering when these lights go on and off.

This video just got me thinking. Maybe these ideas will help keep someone out there safe.
