12 everyday things that pose huge security risks

Home security signs are a strange beast. In a perfect world, they’d do exactly what they’re supposed to do – make burglars think twice before picking your house to rob. And sometimes they do, especially when it’s a less experienced, more spur-of-the-moment criminal. But not every burglar is like that. “Some smart criminals know how to tamper with and disarm security systems, so telling them the exact company [you have] can actually make them more informed,” warns Gabe Turner, Director of Content at Security Baron. A potential solution he offers is to get a sign – but for a system other than the one you have.
