This Cheap Door Knob Trick Tells You If Someone Tried to Get In

You come home with the groceries, and the piece of foil on your back door knob is crumpled on one side. It wasn't like that this morning. Somebody put a hand on that door while you were gone, and now you know it before you've even put the key in. The foil trick going around online says it keeps you safe. It doesn't. Foil doesn't stop anybody. What it can do is TELL you something happened, and after 31 years of checking whether anyone had been in my room while I was gone, I can tell you that knowing is the part that matters. In this video: what the viral foil trick gets wrong and how to do it right, the thread across the bottom of the door that a man can't put back once it falls, the version you can check from your car without bending down, why you should learn what a normal week looks like before you panic over the mail carrier, why nobody selling home security will ever tell you about a fix that costs pennies, and exactly what to do the day it trips (the first move is not the one your hands will want to make). Tell me in the comments: which door in your house are you going to set it on? Everything here is public, legal, and about protecting your own home. #homesecurity #seniorsafety #livealone #doorknobtrick #lifehacks #homedefense #protectyourhome #crimeprevention
