I've Never Had a Break-In in 40 Years — The Old British Trick My Mum Swore By

🏠 Nan's Complete Notebook — 90+ pages of thrifty home wisdom: https://nanmargaret.shop/ Forty years in the same house, and not once has anyone got through my front door. 🔑 My mum had a saying about burglars: they’re lazy, not clever. She reckoned most of them walk past three houses before they pick one, and the whole trick is making sure yours is never the one they pick. She never had an alarm, never had a camera, never spent a penny on any of it. What she had was a handful of old habits that cost nothing and that she did without thinking, every single day of her life. In this video I share the lot. The thing she did with the hallway light that made the house look occupied even when it wasn’t, the small change at the front gate that puts people off before they’ve even reached the path, and the one mistake she said every household makes without realising it. 🏡 I’ve kept all of it going in my own home for four decades now, and I’ve never once come back to a broken window. None of it needs an app or a subscription. It just needs doing. 🌿 Did your mum or your nan have a rule like this? Tell me below, I’d love to hear it. ❤️ #HomeSecurity #OldFashionedWays #BritishHome
