No panic. No expensive security overhaul. Just practical steps to make your home harder to assess. ───────────────────────────────────── 📌 KEY CONCEPTS COVERED IN THIS VIDEO ───────────────────────────────────── ✅ What “casing” means—and why opportunity can start with observation. ✅ How a completely dark house can offer concealment near entry points. ✅ Using interior light timers and motion-sensor lighting around doors. ✅ What open curtains reveal when your lights are on after sunset. ✅ Why discarded TV and console boxes advertise recent purchases. ✅ How a self-serve candy bowl or “gone trick-or-treating” sign can suggest you’re away. ✅ What uncollected packages and overflowing mail add to that impression. ✅ Checking deadbolts, door frames, side gates, and sliding doors. ✅ Why visible cameras and video doorbells belong in your security plan. ✅ How real-time social posts can reveal more about your absence than you intended. ───────────────────────────────────── 📖 THE 6 RULES OF HOME SECURITY FROM THIS VIDEO ───────────────────────────────────── Rule 1: Check what your house reveals from the sidewalk.
