📕 HOLD THE HOUSE: A Marine's field manual for securing your home when you live alone. Every fix from this video, room by room. 👉 https://wadeguide.netlify.app A stranger doesn't have to knock to learn a woman lives alone. He reads the mailbox, the porch, the car, the phone, the posts. I give you fifteen habits that give a household away, and the fix for each one you can do tonight. If you're watching for your mother, your sister, or the widow next door, stay for number one. 🧭 SUMMARY Fifteen habits, counted down: the name on the mailbox, a porch that never changes, stickers on your car, a garage remote and registration left in the car, check-ins and fitness apps (including the 2018 fitness map that showed military bases), the delivery note, the getting ready post, your voicemail greeting, reminders visible through a window, one coat and one pair of shoes behind the door glass, your name on people search sites, the man who picks you up at your door, the spare key, the week that never changes, and number one: a person who would notice if you went quiet. Every fix is cheap or free. ⏱️ CHAPTERS 0:00 A woman never says a word, and he knows 0:47 15. The name on the mailbox 2:00 14. A porch that never changes 3:09 13. The stickers on your car 4:07 12.

Fitness map: in 2018 a fitness company's public activity map was shown by analysts to reveal the locations of military bases from users' repeated running routes; check your own app's privacy settings and privacy zones. People search sites: Whitepages, Spokeo, BeenVerified and similar sites publish names, ages, addresses and relatives and each has an opt-out page; opt-outs can lapse, so recheck twice a year. Obituaries print service times and police departments have warned for years that burglars read them. Garage remotes and vehicle papers: police departments regularly warn about vehicle break-ins that take them; check what your state requires you to carry. Fixes like privacy film, timers and rekeying are ordinary home-security practice. Your own local police department can advise on your street. ⚠️ This is general safety information, not legal or security-professional advice, and not a guarantee of outcome. If you are in immediate danger, call 911. Wade Merrill is a fictional character. No real person is depicted. #HomeSafety #LivingAlone #BurglarPrevention
