10 Things That Tell Burglars You Live Alone

🔗 The Complete Home Security Method I Teach, Written Down Room by Room: https://samgarrettbooks.com Stand at the curb in front of your house for one minute and look at it like a stranger would. In that single minute, your house reveals a pattern: how many people live inside, when the home is empty, and how predictable your daily schedule is.
