Decoys Aren’t Just For Enemies
Using a decoy to fool a burglar is a fun and thrilling way to secure your home. Home security doesn’t have to be monotonous or boring, and the more creative you get, the more fun it’ll be. You could hide a fake key under your front door mat so the burglar spends time trying to use that to open the door than picking the lock. You can also use a fake safe to fend off a burglar, and throw some cheap jewelry and coins so the thief thinks he made a successful robbery. That way, he’ll stop looking for your other valuable items. Time is a huge part of a burglar’s tactics. Keep an actual safe somewhere else in your home with your real valuables. Burglars usually check the bedroom first. Keep the safe in your kid’s bedroom or bathroom to throw the burglar off, since it’s unlikely they’ll check those places (Expert Security Tips).
