Description
🔗 The Complete Method I Teach, Written Down — The Door, The Road, The Days Away: https://edbrannigan.com/
Somewhere on the side of your house there is a window you have not thought about in about four years. It is small, it is frosted, and there is a decent chance it is open two inches right now because somebody had a shower this morning and pushed it out on the latch.
That is the one. Not the back door.
Twenty-five years in patrol taught me that the entries which leave no damage behind are the ones people never see coming, and they happen at windows, because we all upgraded our doors over the last twenty years and almost nobody upgraded their windows. Before anything gets forced, he walks the outside of the building and pushes on the things that are free.
In this video: the eight windows in the order they actually get checked. The one that cannot be seen from the road. The bathroom window and the five reasons it is top of the list. The kitchen vent latch. The cellar window in the well. The pane beside your back door and the key you left in it. The garage. The upstairs window with a bin under it. And the broken one you already know about.
Then the honest part about doors at the end, because forced entry is still mostly a door problem, and that is exactly why the windows get checked first.
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 window you thought of within four seconds of me starting.
