  1. Had a friend of the family that was actually able to get into my uncle's house through the doggy door. He is about 6 foot 4 and probably 220 so not a small guy. It is possible.

  2. i always think the under paid producer has such a good head on his shoulders for a kid his age…. but then i hear him say things like "gumption isnt a word" and i remember that anyone born after 1997 is worthless…

  3. A dumbass would-be burglar once tried to rob a home In “TEXAS” Owned by parents of a U.S marine, They had a U.S & Marines corp flag In gunland Texas…. Ao of course karma happens and the marine just happened to be over there after getting back from a tour overseas, Somehow the burglar made it out in cuffs instead of in a bodybag. Lol

  4. The best defense against theft is to be to poor to afford anything of value! If thieves came into my place they would leave stuff behind along with a note telling me they are sorry🤣

  5. If I see work boots on the porch of the place I’m about to rob, I ain’t robbing that place cuz they ain’t got no money to get presents in the first place!😂 I know from experience that in most cases work boots = no money lol.

  6. Post vacation pics after you make it back home. Enjoy your vacation and quit letting the world know you're going.

  7. Unfortunately, if ppl break into our homes at Christmas, in C.A. and we defend our property, we get taken away by cops

  8. i lived in an apartment complex that had a rash of burglaries, no sign of entry and doors still locked. Some of the residents caught him. He was putting his small child thru a very small kitchen window, who would unlock and then re-lock the doors for him.

  9. I love this video rotflmbo 😀 I don't have a doggy door , but if. I did, my big Dobies would probably shut it on the the burgler after they crawled through 😜 through.

  10. Leave the tv or talk radio on where it can be heard from the entrance/s to your home. They will hear voices coming from the house and even if they know it's the TV or radio they will think someone is home. I like to leave it on anyway because my bird gets lonely when I'm not in the same room so having a tv or talk radio on has an added bonus for me.
    If you do have big boxes or other trash that you don't want burglars to see you could take it to the dump or recycling center yourself.

  11. And when you get in your car, lock all your doors and when getting in, instead of unlocking all doors, unlock only yours so nobody can get in your back seat as you’re getting in. I read about a girl wishing she had done that when she was alone one time and I’ve always done it even before I saw her story, so thought I’d share just in case. Even though everyone who watches this channel probably has the common sense to already know that. Lol

    🖤💙🖤💙

  12. My Uncle was an office with the Arizona Dept of Public Safety and they bring their cars home. He parked his patrol card behind his jeep and then next morning his jeep was gone. They target police.

  13. WTF….

    Nice Redwing or Wolverine boots outside? Shit, they'll steal the boots and resell them.

    Doggy door? Favorite home invasion vector of midget burglars. Mine has a guillotine that comes down if it doesn't detect King's chip.

    Simulated auto alarm LED pucks. Guess what — thieves also shop Amazon. They know about these,… and laugh

  14. Lol gift wrap a box of dog poop😂 and leave it out on the porch for someone to take. Hopefully there's those that have friends who work for FedEx or UPS that can give you some boxes and labeling to use to make the package look legit.

  15. The problem with a doggy door is that you dont have to be able to fit through it. Unless its real small you can usually reach the door handle and unlock it. Im 6'3 300lbs, but i can still reach through and grab the deadbolt

  16. Good tips! Another tip might be to use those timers on outlets that automatically turn on whatever is plugged into it for certain hours of the day. Plugging in a lamp and setting it to turn on at night (especially if you are away for the holidays or on vacation) could give the illusion that somebody is home. It might be more effective to use more than one lamp as well!

  17. Who comes to Boise for a vacation there is nothing fun here it's boring and who is gonna be jealous that you came to Idaho plus their is a bunch of people who moved from California so now there's a ton of bad drivers and also we have one city and it's pretty small and there isn't much to do there

  18. I always stayed away from signs that had "veterans" or "beware of owner" on it. I could get into a car with a blinking light without the alarm going off. Houses too. ANYTHING that made noise, or that informed me of guns, I'd avoid. In neighborhoods that looked rich, alarm companies signs made it easy for me to know how to avoid get passed them. Simply, own guns or dogs or both, then I'd avoid

  19. Secure ground level windows with double bolts, leave the radio on, place dummy's sitting on the living room with a reading lamp, use fake alarm systems decals if you don´t have an alarm, fake cc cameras with flashing led´s, cut branches from trees next to your home that could allow access through the second floor if any, ask someone you trust to come stay in your house if going on vacation, time automatic sprinkler to go on in the evening probably some soggy ground might deter some picky rat, put a sign up that you are a Jehovah´s witness or a fan of duck dynasty, place a fake eviction notice on your door they will think your broke, make a fake burial hole in your yard and leave the shovel by it, put a lifesize cutout of cosby peeping trough a window… I´ll think of more

  20. I know this is old but Damn Mike! Where do you live that cops are afraid of people knowing that you are with the police? I have a sheriff up the street who has a take home car. I have a local police officer just down the street. And two fire officials as well. I feel very safe with them near by! And we put gift cards on their windshields for coffee & food, Marked from from secret Santa!

  21. I would just lay out bear traps and dig a moat around your house. I don't think anyone would want to go through the hassle lol.

  22. oh fuck, would it be illegal to say you're going on vacation, and just stake out your own house for burglers and shoot the shit out of them if they broke in?

  23. it's not stalkerish cause i'm just drinking and watching your videos as they come up as next per youtube, but super cute. this is just funny.

  24. I used to live in an apartment complex didn't have assigned parking just where ever you found a space but had oil put on windshield because I parked in a spot that never had a car so I parked elsewhere next time then week later someone else parked in that same spot all the windows were broke out tires slashed and the inside was on fire glad I don't live in that area anymore . Did learn oil ruins winsheld wipers happens during the rainy season .
