To Protect Your Home - Don't Talk About the Things That Can Make You an Attractive Target!
I see and hear this regularly
One common mistake that people make that can make them highly vulnerable to victimization at home is talking about what they have, and conversely, don't have.
Talking about what you have (gasoline, a generator, food, medication, etc) is broadcasting that you have things that could be considered valuable.
Talking about what you don't have broadcasts your weaknesses and therefore can raise your chances of being victimized.
Remember, you only have appear to be a slightly harder target than those immediately around you!
