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.

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.

Plan to go shopping, or go to any other place your car might be stolen? Don't use your actual home address for "HOME" on your GPS. Try the local police station instead. That way car thieves won't discover where you live while you aren't at home... shopping! Keep your bushes trimmed, especially around windows and doorways, make sure your exterior lights are high enough not to reach from the ground, put authentic alarm company signs in your front yard, and my favorite, leave lots of empty shell casings scattered around your front entrance. That will make it look like you are familiar with the "Castle Doctrine" and firearms.

A news crew interviewed burglars at a prison and asked them what they thought was the best deterrent. One of the obvious answers was a dog but not so commonly known is a TV that's on. Several prisoners said they automatically assume someone's home when they see that a TV is on. I have done that several times when having to leave my home. Setting the volume loud enough so that someone approaching the front or back door can hear it is a good idea. Or leaving a radio near the door so that it sounds as if someone's home. After having had one very frightening attempted break in and two attempted burglaries (all while at home), I have to think creatively.

This happened back in the '60's. I was 9 at the time. I could've sworn I heard somebody in the kitchen of our house. I kept listening and was getting extremely nervous. I didn't know if I should call out to my parents. I then heard a loud CRASH from the den. My mom had a bunch of books on a TV table, and it was my guess someone ran into it and knocked the books over. By this time I was petrified. I just laid there and shook. The next morning, I asked my parents brother and sister if they had heard anything. They all said no. I went into the den and saw the books on the table, all stacked like they usually were. I told my parents what had happened. They told me if it happened again to yell and scream for them. It would probably scare whoever was in the house away.

You hear that kids put your expensive things in your shed starting with your PS4😂🤣

[@Dr-Random]

Extra solution: Lock a door and click the test button on a smoke detector. It is an easy burglar deterrent. Or better yet, test a fire alarm. Those are way louder than a smoke detector. Idk how they work.

I’ve heard that the “beware of the dog” signs can actually have the opposite effect. If you have a dog in the house, you most likely won’t have motion detectors on, so the thief can freely move around your house without fear of being detected 🏠 I guess it depends if the person is scared of dogs or not 😆

[@skylite5329]

Leave tv on. And/or have someone you trust, come in and rotate the tv, music and lights.

[@blondebobbi4505]

Use timers. Set them to go off at different times.

How to protect your house (modification of the trash tip) : Buy one of those document shredders. They'll have trouble figuring out what that doc says. Especially for papers with account passwords written on them.

The ‘leaving big boots’ outside, doesn’t work so well. My husband left his shoes outside once, and they were stolen.

[@bunkley923]

I have one that's an addition to the "beware of dog" sign It takes lots of electricity but I think it's useful When you leave for vacation, leave a barking tape on the radio

cant find big boots to put outside? leave black AF1’s out

Good idea for when you buy new devices and electronics, turn the boxes inside out and take them to your local grocery store and let them dispose of it in their cardboard baler.

@@geekgirrrl We have a guard-attack cat. She is really really good at it. We are her people, don't get to close. This is her house, you can not come in unless we let you, and we must watch her very carefully. Better than any guard dog
