Description
🔗 The Complete Method I Teach, Written Down — The Door, The Road, The Days Away: https://edbrannigan.com/
Think your deadbolt is enough? The guys who pick it for a living disagree. Ed Brannigan sat down with 400 convicted burglars to find out exactly what they look for before targeting a home. From fake security signs to the specific type of landscaping that actually invites intruders in, this is a masterclass in home defense straight from the people who know your home's weak points better than you do. We dive into the psychology of a break-in, why a cheap dog bowl is better than an expensive camera, and the common mistakes homeowners make that signal nobody is home.
