15 Things You Do Every Day That Tell Burglars You're an Easy Target
A man three houses down knows exactly when you leave for work, when the dog gets walked, and where you hide the spare key. He didn't break in to find that out. You told him, one ordinary habit at a time.
I'm Roy Callahan. Twenty years installing locks and alarm panels for insurance companies taught me something most homeowners never think about: burglars don't pick houses because of weak locks. They pick houses because of routines. The trash schedule. The blinds left open after dark. The delivery note taped to the door. The same walk, the same time, every single day.
In this video I'm counting down 15 everyday habits that quietly tell burglars your house is an easy target — pulled from real case files, real insurance claims, and twenty years of showing up the day after, not the day of. Some of these will feel obvious. A few will genuinely surprise you. None of them cost money to fix.
If you want your house to stop advertising when it's empty, this is the video to watch before something happens, not after.
