It is important to protect yourself, your family and your possessions these days. Money spent on home security systems is just as well spent as money sepnt on insurance IMHO.

FYI,

1. Make it look like you’re home.
Of course burglars and intruders are less likely to ‘hit’ an occupied residence. Use timers on lights, the TV, the radio etc.

2. Leave your curtains like you normally would.
Don’t leave all of your blinds and curtains in the same positions, some open, some closed - just every day positions.

3. Turn your phone/s and answering machine down/off.
There’s a better chance of someone breaking in if they hear repeated rings or messages being left.

4. Don’t re-record your answering machine/voicemail message.
NEVER leave an answering machine message to the effect of “this is the Jones family. We’ll be in Portugal for two weeks, please leave a message”. Do that and you’re asking for trouble.

5. Newspapers & Mail
Ask a friend, neighbor or family member to pick up your mail and/or newspaper.

6. Lawncare
If you’re going to be away for an extended period arrange for someone to cut your lawn.

7. Move your car
If you leave your car in your driveway, have someone move it once in a while.

8. Natural defenses
Plant some nasty roses or something really thorny and uncomfortable under your first floor windows.

yeah unfortunately lock bumping is so easy and most locks don’t prevent it.

That is unbelievable. I can’t believe that people waste their lives figuring out ways to be able to steal from others. Thank you for posting this video and alerting all of us readers.

What we need to do is focus on the “family”. Teach our children to be good people, full of respect and law-abiding citizens.
