HOOK
Think your home is secure because you have a lock on the door? [Quick cuts: front door, backyard gate, window left cracked open] Small oversights—not expensive gadgets—are what often make homes easier to target.
KEY POINT 1
First: weak entry points. [Close-up of worn deadbolt, loose door frame, sliding door] A sturdy deadbolt helps, but so do reinforced strike plates and solid door frames. If your front or back door wiggles, that’s a problem worth fixing.
KEY POINT 2
Second: easy-to-spot routines. [Person leaving lights off, stacking packages by the door, posting vacation photos] Don’t advertise that no one’s home. Use timers for lights, bring in packages quickly, and wait to post travel photos until you’re back.
KEY POINT 3
Third: blind spots around the house. [Walkaround of side yard, dark driveway, overgrown bushes near windows] Trim shrubs near windows, add motion lighting, and check side and back doors. Burglars look for places where they can stay hidden and work fast.
