    When I became a widow I decided to get Simplisafe for my security system. Only $30 per month, my home is secure both day and night 24/7. And, if I have a medical emergency I placed panic buttons throughout the house just in case I am to sick or hurt to get to my cellphone. I also installed camera's outside and inside of my home. Camera's are a great deterrent to keep the burglars away. One last thing I installed was a driveway alarm. It will alert me when someone is coming up my long driveway. I can see on the camera facing the driveway who is coming to visit.

    A very large man attempted to break in my apartment via my bedroom window a few nights ago. Apparently a continuous taze to the chest is a deterrent as well. By the time he recovered The police were here to assist him in exiting the property. 🤷‍♀️

    Beat scam ever was when a home security service came by to sell me a security system and asked if they could come in and see my back door to see if it’s vulnerable to break ins. Just as I let them in I knew I made a mistake. I told my cousin who was with me that in three days someone would try to break in and sure enough! My neighbors on each side were harassed at 3 am and saw them come by my house and tried to break in. Three days later. The security people WERE the threat.

    Get a professionally installed alarm system with central monitoring. The security system should have battery backup in case of power failure. The security system should have communications via the mobile phone network and not by wires which can be cut. Have cameras installed, and the video recordings are stored remotely. Also do the procedures to make your home difficult to break in to. In your home have timers for some of the lighting that will turn the lights on and off at times to make it look like someone is turning the lights on and off. Don't post on any social media when you are going to take your vacations or any aspect of your life where you go to and from your home.

    Bruh just pay the $5 for a yard sign that says that you have a security system. The sign saying that you have a security system is just as effective as the security system itself in deterring criminals. The vast majority of all potential criminals will see that sign and move on, the criminals that see that sign and still break into your house won't be deterred by any methods.

    there are some other things you could also do if you’re home alone. You could put nail strips by the window so that way when the bandits try to enter through a window they’ll step on it.
    if you feel like the bandits will go through the front door you could rig a pulley system to the handle and attach a paint can to the ceiling, when the handle turns bandits walk in and get whacked in the head with a paint can.
    last one really works just takes a while. You could set up some mannequins or cardboard cut outs of celebrities near your windows and turn on music, it looks like you’re having a party with lots of guests. Simply attach kite string to portions of the cardboard cut outs to make it look like they’re moving. Any would be robbers would reconsider knowing that there’s a house for a party goers.

    Cars are always parked in the garage. I don't put porch lights on at night - because normally people turn them off in the day.
    If you are gone for a few days, either the lights are left on all day or they are off all night. In other words, the pattern of normalcy is broken. I do have timed landscape lighting that is always on at night.

    One thing people often don't think of as a security measure is a reputable pet sitting service. (If you have pets and are on holiday of course.) They will come to your home up to twice a day and do things like collect the mail, turn lights on/off, pull curtains etc. The agency will have done police checks and character references so that shouldn't be an issue. Of course the most important thing is that they feed your pets and keep them company, but their presence every day makes the house look lived in, as it were. Or housesitters will do all the above in exchange for living there rent free. Just a thought.

      Dear Khol: Classic. In any walk of shady situations: *It's the teef who first educates himself,* being taught trade tricks from the clever and upright who spurt it to the world to have content, clicks, subs, and supplementary Silicon Valley stipends while *piercing their perineum* in the process.

    Just put a camera in your house. I was at the airport going to my dads funeral and my phone alerted me to movement in my house. I was like GET THE FUBERJAMMER OUT MY DYNAMIC HOUSE. 😂then my son and his wife walked out from the hallway. He said mom where you at I thought you got on the plane ✈️ 😂I said why are y’all in my house you already moved out. 😂they came to rob me. But they don’t call it robbing me. I didn’t have not one roll of toilet paper when I got back 🤬get a camera I from time to time chime in on my camera and talk just in case somebody is in my house. Sometimes you can scare them out.

    My wife has some small bells attached to the bag zip on her mobility scooter to warn of pick pockets. Handed out by local community police(UK).

    Doesn’t the aluminum foil on the door just tell burglars that you don’t have a security system?

    You can also call your local police dept and ask for them to check your address,do a driveby, just seeing the cops ride by is a great deterant, and it dont cost you anymore than the normal taxes you pay.

    We have CCTV, a house alarm, and safety bars that prevent someone from kicking the door open. And I have a personal protection trained GSD. If you get past that....shotgun.

    Put some foil on the door so when you wake up with your kidney gone, you’ll know you weren’t during surgery while sleep walking.

    Do Not Put anything on the outside of your house that signals you are alone, everybody had seen this video by now and the crooks know it. Use thorn bushes otherwise they can hide behind them, better no bushes at all.
