      @@goosesatan unlike homes, cars are broken into at night generally rather than the day. Think about it: The average thief who only wants stuff does NOT want to encounter a person regardless of their age, size, or gender. They just want to get in and get out and have fun with their new stolen goods or the money they make from them. So for a house, daytime is the best time to break in as most people will be at work. For cars though, you wouldn't want to break into one during the day, as the owner could come back to that car at any moment since most humans are active and awake and driving to and from places during the daytime. At night though, it's more likely the owner is asleep inside their house not even thinking about their vehicle.

      houses with kids inside could have kids wandering around at night or they could wake up and scream to sound the alarm. Basically meaning more people to raise the alarm that someone is there, and you don’t know that everyone is going to be in their bedrooms. Makes it a riskier choice than say a couple who would be in the same room.

    Quick summary
    1 - Make it look like someone is home
    2 - Make your life seem unpredicatable (fake dog signs, children toys, etc)
    3 & 4 - Pretend to or actually have a security system
    5 - Strategically place the cameras (be mindful of sun directly shining)
    6 - Establish trustful relationships with neighbors (they can give heads-ups)
    7 & 8 - LOCK the garage door and secure the locking cable (they can typically unlock with a hanger)
    9 - Get a solid door
    10 & 11 - Replace door screws with long screws (prevents getting kicked down)
    12 - Install a protective window film
    13 - Defensive plan (rally point locations, routes, and communication)
    14 - Have flashlight, weapon (sprays count), car alarm, and charged cell on your nightstand
    15 - Fight for your life, have no mercy
    16 - Keep distance from the attacker

    Tip: My mom is a retired herpetologist (the study of snakes and reptiles) and she did deadly snake removal from people's homes for many years. Her vehicle had to have a sign on the back, warning people that there are potentially life threatening animals in her vehicle. The sign on the back and sides said: "Danger: Poisonous snakes on board" and to stay within a certain distance from the vehicle. I've never seen so many people avoid a vehicle as much as hers. They would sometimes run from it if they caught a glance of the sign. I highly suggest putting a sign like this on your vehicle or somewhere on your home to keep people away. I promise, the thought of snakes and death is the perfect mix of fear.

      Hornet spray is a horrible idea and technically illegal to use as a weapon. It's not effective, can be construed as deadly force in court or a civil suit, you risk contaminating your path of escape, and it's against federal law to use it in any manner other than its intended use.

    Just recently in Canada, we had a case where a husband came home and pulled up into his driveway and entered his garage using the automatic opener.
    As he pulled in some more, a masked man snuck from the alleyway (right next to the garage where the husband parked) and stood against the wall till the garage door closed.
    The husband NEVER looked behind or even GLANCED at his mirrors to make sure it was safe to come out and you could see that the husband exited the car and closed the garage door (hitting the button on the wall) and the masked man right there on the other side just getting ready.
    He was so oblivious and that caused him AND his wife to pay the price because they were both murdered.
    You can see this in the neighbor's surveiance footage that captured everything above except the actual murder.
    PAY ATTENTION WHEN YOU ARE IN YOUR TRANSITIONAL SPACES AKA DRIVEWAYS, GARAGES. KEEP GLANCE AT ALL YOUR MIRRORS! You are not safe till you are inside of the house, secured and locked up!!

      Well I'll be. I have a 3 acre property fenced with 4ft 2"x4" grid wire, top with barbed wire. My north line is .5 acre wooded all the way up to the fence. There are fruit and berry shrubs, trees, from east to west, north to the next property. There is virtually no sight line from my fence north to the next property. Would you suggest I go ahead and trim that, say from the fence to about 10 ft wide, or just trim the lower limbs? They are large mature trees. Right now, a person can hide right at that fenceline and I would not know it. The dogs have been a terror more than once, so someone is there. I have creepy dude on the other property. I hate disturbing the fruiters. But these times call for sacrifice right? My backup dog guardian is 120lb pitbull/catahoula mix, that holds down the east side, gate entry. Loves me to pieces. Not so much others, or chickens. Why he's cabled. He's cabled on a 75ft line, with 30 ft width to the house. Sorry for the length.

If I don't know them, they will be talked to through the front door. Not opening it. If I'm outside, I pay attention to what is around me and am fortunate to live where there is some distance so no one can walk up on me quickly. Don't be nice ladies, parking lots are not safe, pay attention and if someone comes close as you are unloading your cart, put your cart between you and whoever. Tell them to get away from you loudly if they try to get around the cart. Always report an incident in a parking lot to the store once you get safely home. Never leave your car door unlocked.

When repair people come, do not walk them through your home, keep them ONLY in the area being worked on or outside, if they are doing outside work keep all blinds closed while they are there so they cannot peep the layout of your home. Keep a gun close by your bed. If they DO enter your home, you can exit a bedroom window and go to a neigbors house to call police.

      @@cominatchawiththeyeet9398 You're running night vision. There is no advantage to using visible light over IR. You're only going to give away *your* position to an intruder. While they're inside of your home, which they likely do not know the layout of, stumbling around, pupils dilated, trying their hardest to make out any sort of light, you are now hunting *them* on *your* turf.
      Personally, I keep a sub-machinegun with a 3-lug suppressor, using sub-sonics, and Suomi drum mags ready to go at all times. Once I pair that with night vision, an IR light and laser? If somebody were to enter my home as it is, they're sort of fucked. Do so at night? They'll think Satan himself crawled from the depths of hell to drag them down.
      But, yeah. Something like a maglight to bash someone's noggin might work too.

One guy had a knife and one had an automatic rifle. They held me at gun point, searched my Dad found $30 and stabbed him in the stomach. Then they stripsearched me. Found nothing to steal except that $30 on dad. They all stepped into our kitchen, talked, came out and shot my dad in the neck. They told me to stay right there that I was next and they went back into the kitchen to talk. I told my dad I was going for help (I thought he was gone 😔) and I ran out the door and up the street until I found help. A little more home security knowledge at the time would’ve been sooo very helpful. I pray for everyone to not have to go through this but if u do then atleast be prepared 🙏✌🏻💜💜💜
