Someone tried to break into my house once when I was out. I arrived home to a crime scene. Backdoor wide open, blood in the kitchen and backyard all the way to the neighbors fence. Whoever it was had luck on their side because they didn't know who was chilling in my house. And that was my buddy Ceallach my Rottweiler. He has passed on now I still miss him..

[@chels1542]

I have had someone recommend getting a rottie to me a couple times. I know it’s a lot of responsibility but I feel like it would go from men constantly approaching me to everyone avoiding me and I’m okay with that

[@FlawlessImperfectionBeauty]

I got a Rottweiler after a break in, he ignored the ShihTzus.

[@cathalodiubhain5739]

@@chels1542 They are easily trained and if you put time in with them they will become your best buddy. They will accept everyone and look to play with them and treat them as a friend because they are your friends. I do lot of running and swimming and he used to run and swim with me. My daughter used to sit on his back and ride him on the beach, she also had a little sled that he would pull her around in. She used him as a pillow. He was placid out. They will pick up on your fear and they will become on guard duty as it were. They will also notice if your are not feeling well or unhappy. They're absolutely amazing dog. God help anyone who would come at you or your family with bad intentions.

[@chriscusack1742]

Quick summary 1 - Make it look like someone is home 2 - Make your life seem unpredicatable (fake dog signs, children toys, etc) 3 & 4 - Pretend to or actually have a security system 5 - Strategically place the cameras (be mindful of sun directly shining) 6 - Establish trustful relationships with neighbors (they can give heads-ups) 7 & 8 - LOCK the garage door and secure the locking cable (they can typically unlock with a hanger) 9 - Get a solid door 10 & 11 - Replace door screws with long screws (prevents getting kicked down) 12 - Install a protective window film 13 - Defensive plan (rally point locations, routes, and communication) 14 - Have flashlight, weapon (sprays count), car alarm, and charged cell on your nightstand 15 - Fight for your life, have no mercy 16 - Keep distance from the attacker

[@sapphael.]

Deadass like me, a poor harmless student with no enemies, was like 'they want...mE??!?!?!?!'

[@EastmanEditing]

@@goosesatan unlike homes, cars are broken into at night generally rather than the day. Think about it: The average thief who only wants stuff does NOT want to encounter a person regardless of their age, size, or gender. They just want to get in and get out and have fun with their new stolen goods or the money they make from them. So for a house, daytime is the best time to break in as most people will be at work. For cars though, you wouldn't want to break into one during the day, as the owner could come back to that car at any moment since most humans are active and awake and driving to and from places during the daytime. At night though, it's more likely the owner is asleep inside their house not even thinking about their vehicle.

[@felixchaus]

@@BryanTorok Someone said to do it bold enough and no one will notice you, there was one airbnb place that robbers emptied totally, and none even renters next door couldn't give any description because they didn't look, even the eyewitness talked to one of the robbers. Same goes to everyone, can you describe the woman who walked past you one before the last person walked past you, I'm fairly certain that answer is no. It's not because you didn't look or pay attention, it is because your brain desided to delete the whole scene as obsolent, you might remember something you paid attention to, or your brain could make a memory for you.

Tip: My mom is a retired herpetologist (the study of snakes and reptiles) and she did deadly snake removal from people's homes for many years. Her vehicle had to have a sign on the back, warning people that there are potentially life threatening animals in her vehicle. The sign on the back and sides said: "Danger: Poisonous snakes on board" and to stay within a certain distance from the vehicle. I've never seen so many people avoid a vehicle as much as hers. They would sometimes run from it if they caught a glance of the sign. I highly suggest putting a sign like this on your vehicle or somewhere on your home to keep people away. I promise, the thought of snakes and death is the perfect mix of fear.

Poisonous snakes? If you were telling a real story you would say venomous

[@lisad6721]

Just recently in Canada, we had a case where a husband came home and pulled up into his driveway and entered his garage using the automatic opener. As he pulled in some more, a masked man snuck from the alleyway (right next to the garage where the husband parked) and stood against the wall till the garage door closed. The husband NEVER looked behind or even GLANCED at his mirrors to make sure it was safe to come out and you could see that the husband exited the car and closed the garage door (hitting the button on the wall) and the masked man right there on the other side just getting ready. He was so oblivious and that caused him AND his wife to pay the price because they were both murdered. You can see this in the neighbor's surveiance footage that captured everything above except the actual murder. PAY ATTENTION WHEN YOU ARE IN YOUR TRANSITIONAL SPACES AKA DRIVEWAYS, GARAGES. KEEP GLANCE AT ALL YOUR MIRRORS! You are not safe till you are inside of the house, secured and locked up!!

[@lanakeeton8102]

Back into your driveway and garage.

[@grrlmom]

I was taught to pull in the garage with all your car doors locked. Put the garage door down without getting out of the car and wait a minute or 2. If someone is in the garage, lay on your horn and back out thru the garage door. You don’t want to wait for the door to go back up and the noise will attract attention

[@zlgclanps3846]

@@forester057 I think the point was most theifs don't want to break into a house with kids or may not even have any intention of possibly harming a child. Of course, not all criminals think like that, of course.

[@richellebennett4730]

houses with kids inside could have kids wandering around at night or they could wake up and scream to sound the alarm. Basically meaning more people to raise the alarm that someone is there, and you don’t know that everyone is going to be in their bedrooms. Makes it a riskier choice than say a couple who would be in the same room.

Hornet spray is a horrible idea and technically illegal to use as a weapon. It's not effective, can be construed as deadly force in court or a civil suit, you risk contaminating your path of escape, and it's against federal law to use it in any manner other than its intended use.

Well I'll be. I have a 3 acre property fenced with 4ft 2"x4" grid wire, top with barbed wire. My north line is .5 acre wooded all the way up to the fence. There are fruit and berry shrubs, trees, from east to west, north to the next property. There is virtually no sight line from my fence north to the next property. Would you suggest I go ahead and trim that, say from the fence to about 10 ft wide, or just trim the lower limbs? They are large mature trees. Right now, a person can hide right at that fenceline and I would not know it. The dogs have been a terror more than once, so someone is there. I have creepy dude on the other property. I hate disturbing the fruiters. But these times call for sacrifice right? My backup dog guardian is 120lb pitbull/catahoula mix, that holds down the east side, gate entry. Loves me to pieces. Not so much others, or chickens. Why he's cabled. He's cabled on a 75ft line, with 30 ft width to the house. Sorry for the length. I read your post and we are set so similarly, it all came pouring out. Thank you and God bless you.

[@soal3415]

I have been thinking on fencing around my house so my dog can roam it. She's 130 lb central Asian Shepherd mix. Am currently looking at another dog I want so badly. It's a puppy and I can't bend over and can't run to the door as often as a puppy needs. This puppy is a bull mastiff/great dane mix. So perfect for me. I like the trimming trees 8ft up, great idea!. I live in woods and field so yes that'd be helpful..thanks!

When I go to bed I lock my bedroom door. That way I hopefully have a moment to lock myself in my clothes closet and grab my pistol before the door is kicked in. Another thing we do is leave a light on downstairs and at top of stairs. We have 2 motion detection lights on the back of the house. Also be situationally aware. When you are out and about get off that phone and be aware of who is near you and what they are up to. Especially in parking lots. If I see someone approaching me and I am in a vulnerable spot I get my phone and pretend talk.

He's making excellent points, some of which I've been thinking about a lot recently. The security camera in my living room gets a good view, and is higher quality than I expected, BUT it's not going to get a face unless you look straight at it. I think cameras placed low, and aimed up at doors are probably a good idea, as long as it's high enough that the dog doesn't trigger it every time he goes to bark out the front window.

I keep my property pitch black inside and out with lots of obstacles, if someone robs me at night...it is a friend...Also, I have known several people who had intruders at night that were just trying to steal something soo thieves come day or night. Also, ive heard never leave anything around outside your house that could be used as a weapon I.e. bricks, tools, shovels etc...dont use nightloghts inside your home because then anyone can see inside at night. When repair people come, do not walk them through your home, keep them ONLY in the area being worked on or outside, if they are doing outside work keep all blinds closed while they are there so they cannot peep the layout of your home. Keep a gun close by your bed. If they DO enter your home, you can exit a bedroom window and go to a neigbors house to call police.

[@coleengoodell7523]

I'm able to keep my schedule unpredictable. I never leave my doors unlocked or windows open. Never open the door if I don't know who it is or can't see the person through a window. If I don't know them, they will be talked to through the front door. Not opening it. If I'm outside, I pay attention to what is around me and am fortunate to live where there is some distance so no one can walk up on me quickly. Don't be nice ladies, parking lots are not safe, pay attention and if someone comes close as you are unloading your cart, put your cart between you and whoever. Tell them to get away from you loudly if they try to get around the cart. Always report an incident in a parking lot to the store once you get safely home. Never leave your car door unlocked.

[@cynthiarothrock4255]

Iv been known to hit people with the cart hard enough to knock them over. This happens in the store more than parking lot. And during the day. People with manners don't reach into your cart and try to touch your purse and don't reach over your cart to take the last item on the shelf as you are touching it. However if they say excuse me or ask you to hand it to them I will either move or hand it to them. Manners mean a lot. Self defense against people without manners means more.

Another tip: if it's night time and you realise someone is breaking in, turn off all the lights.

Remember, spatial awareness is everything.

@@cominatchawiththeyeet9398 You're running night vision. There is no advantage to using visible light over IR. You're only going to give away *your* position to an intruder. While they're inside of your home, which they likely do not know the layout of, stumbling around, pupils dilated, trying their hardest to make out any sort of light, you are now hunting *them* on *your* turf. Personally, I keep a sub-machinegun with a 3-lug suppressor, using sub-sonics, and Suomi drum mags ready to go at all times. Once I pair that with night vision, an IR light and laser? If somebody were to enter my home as it is, they're sort of fucked. Do so at night? They'll think Satan himself crawled from the depths of hell to drag them down. But, yeah.

i mean, glass would still shatter but the film would prevent the brick from going through- the cybertruck's windows did the same thing

[@colinburfeind6947]

The aluminum glass is actually more bulletproof than typical “bulletproof glass”.

[@darkstars101]

They did, hence why it didn’t go through. More like someone should tell the rest of the car industry about the film. Those things nearly crack and shatter with pebbles in the highway.

some really good advice, some of it so simple we need reminding. Thank you

[@hestergreen2031]

Excellent advice. Excellent pointers. Thank you.

The strongest defense is a swift and decisive offense.

I'm a survivor of a home invasion, it's the most surreal experience. The guys is now in prison, my attacker had both a pipe and a knife. I took the fight immediately to him and was willing to defend my family with my life. With some help of my step son, I was able to get a rear naked choke and choked him out...nearly killed this guy, luckily for him Im a decent person...not a killer. I ended up in the hospital from a blow I took from the pipe across my face... Doctors could believe I wasn't knocked out...i have three small plates in my forehead and eye sock...I will never forget my baby girl saying don't hurt my daddy...while I was on the floor choking the guy...I would have died for her

Nah, my bedroom window goes onto the back patio. I'd just yeet out the window, insurance covers the rest. I'm not fighting over a TV I don't even use.

Someone robbed my house a couple years ago, I was only 7. They had picked our door locks and was about to get in before my dog barked, they assumed we had a BIG dog and ran away.

[@nikkipassick9962]

are you and your family okay?

But don't put a beware of dog sign up as they know you don't use your house alarm as it would be set off by the moving dog.

My mother took a free senior protection course. They taught them how to protect their homes accounts and even themselves both indoors and outdoors since seniors are at such a disadvantage. You would be surprised on how much a senior can do not only seniors, but those who are also handicap and even children all can do things to buy themselves time to get help. Thank you for sharing your videos

Thats real helpful thank you. Unfortunately my neighbors are the bad guys, Im putting up floodlights to go with the cctv.
