Description

🔗 The Complete Method I Teach, Written Down — The Door, The Road, The Days Away: https://edbrannigan.com/ A woman on Fenwick Avenue lost nine thousand dollars of tools, two bicycles and a chest freezer out of her garage on a Thursday. There was not a scratch on the building. No broken glass, no splintered wood, no pry marks. Her insurer asked her four separate times whether she was certain she had closed it. By the fourth time she was not certain, and I watched a woman who had done nothing wrong start to believe she had been careless. The internet has covered the technique to death. Nobody covers what happens afterward, and that is where the real damage is. In this video: The three conditions that decide whether YOUR door is one of them, in a ten-second check Why "on every house" isn't true, and I'd rather correct myself than have you do it Why I don't lead with the zip tie, and what I'd do first instead The gap at the top, which is the actual root of it and which you wanted fixed anyway The lock switch on your wall button that half of you have never touched Why "no sign of forced entry" follows you through the entire claim The photograph habit that takes four seconds and beats your own memory Springs, photo eyes, and the two things more likely to hurt somebody in your house than any burglar Everything I know is written down in three books called Off the List at edbrannigan.com. 186 checks, in the order I'd do them. Go and look at the top of your garage door tonight and tell me in the comments whether you found a gap. And if this has already happened to you, tell me what the report said. #homesecurity #garagesecurity #burglaryprevention #homesafety #garagedoor #crimeprevention #retiredcop #safetytips #protectyourhome #homeinsurance #securitytips #neighborhoodwatch #edbrannigan #offthelist #familysafety
