9 Things That Tell Burglars You Live Alone

🔗 The Complete Method I Teach, Written Down — The Door, The Road, The Days Away: https://edbrannigan.com/ A house with one person in it runs on a rhythm you can set a watch by. That rhythm is readable from the kerb in about ninety seconds, and almost nobody who lives alone knows their own house is saying it. Twenty-five years in patrol taught me that the people who got hit had not been careless. They had been consistent. In this video I go through nine signals a stranger reads without getting out of the car: the parking, the lighting, the curtains, the bin timing, the doorbell answer, the single track in the snow, the post, the sentences you say out loud in public, and the account that undoes all eight. Every fix is free or close to it. The three that do the most work cost nothing at all. Off the List, a hundred and eighty-six checks in the order I would do them, is at edbrannigan.com. Tell me in the comments which of the nine you recognised in your own house. home security, living alone safety, burglary prevention, retired police officer, home safety tips, single occupant home, security habits, crime prevention, safety for women living alone, house security checklist
