00:00 Let's describe the codes of the burglars.
00:02 Adhesive tape on the door handle,
00:04 a slice of cheese on the hood of the car,
00:06 and many other things can be a sign that you are the target of a thief.
00:10 Burglars do not randomly choose a house to rob.
00:14 They will often watch the house before taking action to find out more about its security.
00:19 They leave marks on the house, the garage door, the mailbox or the garden shelter.
00:25 Learn to know these marks and know what they symbolize.
00:28 This way, you can better protect your house from burglars.
00:31 If you see a circle drawn, it means that in the eyes of the burglar, your house is a target of choice.
00:38 It may not be equipped with an adequate security system.
00:42 Conversely, a barred circle means that you must avoid entering.
00:45 Maybe the house is equipped with high-tech alarms, video surveillance cameras or protected by a dog.
00:50 Scales-shaped lines mean that valuables are visible in the house and are worth stealing.
00:56 If the letter M is drawn on the trash, it means that the house is empty in the morning,
01:00 while the letter N means that it is empty at night.
01:03 Police have issued warnings about this code,
01:06 but do not forget that some of these signs can also be harmless messages
01:10 used by the workers of the fence to communicate on the sewage system, for example.
01:14 If you see marks of keystrokes, do not enter the house.
01:19 The keystroke is a technique used by burglars
01:22 to use a similar key made of a heavier metal to file the pins inside the lock.
01:27 In addition, victims can encounter problems when they resort to their insurance in such cases,
01:32 because this technique can leave no trace of fractures outside the lock.
01:36 You get robbed, but you can't prove it to the insurance company.
01:40 Nightmare!
01:42 The keystroke is another technique, but it leaves marks on the door handle,
01:47 like light scratches around the lock.
01:50 However, the real signs will be inside the lock,
01:53 on the pins that will have indentations.
01:56 Scratches or large marks on your door handle can also indicate that someone has entered your home.
02:01 Burglars sometimes use screwdrivers to break the pins of the lock.
02:05 If you see deep scratches, marks or an enlargement of the lock hole,
02:09 be careful when you enter.
02:11 Thieves can also stick a transparent adhesive tape on the door handle.
02:16 Let's say the tape is still there one day or two later.
02:20 Burglars then think that the owner is missing because the door was not used.
02:24 This technique has become alarming in Dublin.
02:27 The police have warned people to be vigilant
02:30 and to remove any trace of an adhesive tape immediately after seeing it.
02:33 Some of these marks are left by dog thieves,
02:37 who report that your home is home to a stray dog worthy of being stolen.
02:40 The red chalk marks are for big dogs,
02:43 while the yellow and pink marks are for small and medium-sized dogs.
02:47 The police advise dog owners to inspect their homes
02:50 and to report any signs of this kind to the police.
02:53 Finally, they must be very careful when walking their pets.
02:58 One of the keys, without the bad pun,
03:01 to be safe at home is to have a good security system and know your belongings.
03:05 For example, if the locks on your front door are still reactive but work slowly,
03:09 this can be a sign of a burglary attempt.
03:12 This can be due to the technique called the vulnerability method.
03:16 Burglars weaken the lock of the door over time.
03:19 They use tools or objects to deteriorate the lock without leaving any trace.
03:24 You may think that your lock is old and simply report the call to a locksmith,
03:29 but this would be a mistake.
03:31 Likewise, the key can turn inside the lock with delay.
03:37 If it is more difficult to turn inside,
03:39 it is usually the first sign of a burglary attempt
03:42 and the most important warning sign to take into account.
03:45 Even the locks on your front door are subject to burglaries.
03:50 Did you know that in Churchill, Canada,
03:54 the residents do not lock the doors of their cars?
03:57 They do not do this to make it easier for the burglar,
03:59 but to survive a potential attack by polar bears.
04:02 The city has the largest number of polar bears in the world.
04:05 Imagine that a resident is confronted with a polar bear and a car is nearby.
04:10 He can quickly hide inside this car, even if it is not his.
04:14 And what if you learned some safety tips to avoid the theft of handbags?
04:18 First of all, do not wear your bag on your shoulder.
04:21 Sure, the bag is designed that way,
04:23 but it can make it easier for the thief to grab it.
04:26 For example, wearing a small handbag like a pocket under your arm is safer.
04:32 Shopping with someone is safer than shopping alone.
04:35 Shopping days and in general do not carry more money than necessary,
04:39 nor all your credit cards in the same bag.
04:42 Keep only what you need for the day, even for a short period of time.
04:47 Do not leave your handbag in the cart or on the cash register.
04:50 Let's move on to scams.
04:54 It is when you think you can not be scammed,
04:56 that you are more likely to be caught by the crooks.
04:59 Scams target everyone, regardless of their background, age and income.
05:03 They can catch you off guard when you do not expect it.
05:06 The crooks use new technologies, products or even services to arouse your curiosity,
05:11 so that you give them your money or your personal data.
05:13 How to be safe from scams?
05:15 First, keep in mind that if it looks too good to be true, it probably is.
05:19 Then, do not answer calls about your computer and ask for remote access,
05:24 even if they mention a well-known company.
05:26 Scams will often ask you to turn on your computer to solve a problem or install a free update.
05:32 It is actually a virus to get your passwords and your personal data.
05:36 Finally, be careful of unusual payment requests.
05:39 Scams will often ask you to use an unusual payment method,
05:43 such as a pre-charged debit card, a gift card or an iTunes card.
05:47 You have probably heard that when a burglar decides to target a house,
05:52 he starts by scouting.
05:54 This means that he first observes the owners' backyards,
05:58 discovers information about their habits and decides when to enter their home.
06:03 When he is ready to commit his larceny, he already knows for sure
06:07 when there will be no one inside or when the owners will be distracted.
06:11 One of the tricks used by thieves to collect information about your routine
06:16 is so simple that you may not even think about it.
06:19 But the next time you hear a crackling sound under the sole of your shoe,
06:23 stop and check what it was.
06:26 There is a good chance that you find a biscuit crushed under the straw.
06:30 If this is the case, it is an indication that something is being planned.
06:34 It is a rather effective method that criminals use to know if you have gone on a trip
06:39 or when you come home exactly in the evening.
06:41 A biscuit is such a banal object that people generally don't pay much attention to it.
06:47 And yet they should notice it.
06:49 You arrive at home, you walk on the biscuit and you automatically reveal all the secrets to the burglar.
06:55 They know for sure if the house is inhabited and can also know your schedule.
07:00 It's even worse if you're not at home.
07:03 The biscuit under the straw remains intact,
07:05 thus indicating to the criminal that the way is clear for a crime.
07:09 So if you find a biscuit under your straw, it's pretty bad news.
07:14 Someone is interested in your house and is watching it.
07:17 It might be a good idea to call the police or take additional security measures.
07:23 The biscuit technique is just one of the many tricks used by burglars.
07:28 Another sign that can alert you that you are under surveillance
07:31 is the presence of white stones left near your house or in the alley.
07:36 This means that a criminal has already visited your house
07:39 and marked it as deserving of being burglarized.
07:42 Another reason why burglars might have left you stones
07:45 is to indicate that your house remains empty during the day.
07:49 If you walk down the street and you notice a USB key that goes over a sidewalk or a wall,
07:54 don't be surprised.
07:55 You have very likely come across a dead drop.
07:58 Despite its frightening name, it is in fact a global artistic project
08:02 that has borrowed some tips from the world of espionage.
08:05 Many people who know this project are happy to be able to put on their black coats and sunglasses
08:10 and exchange confidential information with other people.
08:14 The fact is that several decades ago,
08:16 spies had their own way of exchanging secret materials.
08:20 There was the live drop, when spies met in person,
08:24 but it was often very dangerous.
08:26 That is why a system of dead drop was invented.
08:29 In this case, a few bricks detached from a wall in a alley
08:33 allowed to hide important documents that had to be recovered later.
08:37 Today, there are more than 1,500 dead drops around the world,
08:41 and the data accumulated on these USB keys reaches 10 Teraoctets.
08:46 You can come across a dead drop on any continent you visit,
08:50 except Antarctica maybe, because there are not so many walls there.
08:54 If you find one, what to do with it?
08:56 First of all, it is highly advisable to connect an unknown USB key to your computer.
09:02 You never know what virus is hiding there, waiting to destroy the content of your hard drive.
09:07 And even if the risk is part of the game, it does not cause too much luck.
09:11 If you are 100% sure you want to play, secure your computer as best you can.
09:16 You can not imagine what information awaits you on a USB key.
09:20 Everyone can download videos, photos or text files,
09:24 and this has already caused several problems.
09:27 On the same subject, have you ever received a package with a USB key inside?
09:31 Whatever you decide to do, do not plug it into your computer.
09:35 Such cases are more and more frequent in Australia.
09:38 The police warn people that computer pirates have invented a new tactic.
09:43 They put anonymous USB keys in mailboxes.
09:46 You will probably not be surprised to learn that these gadgets contain malicious software
09:51 capable of hacking your computer.
09:54 Their authors are obviously interested in human curiosity, and it must be said that it is peaceful.
09:59 People can not fight against the inexplicable desire to check the content of a mysterious gift.
10:05 As a result, almost half of the USB keys received by the post office are inserted into computers.
10:11 Then people start having serious problems with their laptops and computers.
10:17 For example, fraudulent media begin to spread service offers.
10:21 Or computer viruses damage files and computer programs.
10:26 In short, do not touch this USB key fallen from the sky, okay?
10:30 You leave a shopping mall, or your office, or the airport,
10:34 and you go to the parking lot to get your car.
10:37 You unlock it and put the key on the ignition.
10:40 When you are about to start and leave, you see something strange on your windshield.
10:45 Is it a 100-euro bill wrapped around your windshield wiper?
10:48 Oh, you could certainly find a way to spend this unexpected gift.
10:52 But do you really think that someone could accidentally put money on your windshield and forget it?
10:58 Beware, it's obviously a scam.
11:01 As soon as you get out of your car to take a closer look at this mysterious bank note,
11:05 its owner will take action.
11:08 He will get in your car and leave at full speed.
11:11 Few people will think about cutting the contact and taking their business with them
11:15 to go and check if it is a 100-euro bill.
11:18 As a result, in less than a minute, you will lose your car, your wallet and your documents,
11:24 and you will suddenly feel very alone in this parking lot.
11:28 Some people have told that they found a piece of clothing,
11:31 such as a shirt, on their windshield or wrapped around their windshield wipers.
11:36 If this ever happens to you, do not fall into the trap and do not try to remove the object.
11:41 Just get in your car and leave as quickly as possible from where you were parked.
11:46 This so-called forgotten clothing is actually a new scam used by thieves.
11:51 It works like this.
11:53 If you see a piece of clothing that prevents your windshield wipers from moving or that obscures your view,
11:57 your first reaction will be to remove it, of course.
12:00 But while you're trying to remove it, the thief has all the time to jump on you or get in your car.
12:06 The most common places for this kind of scam are still the parking lots.
12:10 They are generally poorly lit and rather deserted,
12:14 which means that there are few witnesses around and many dark corners so that the attacker can see.
12:21 You wake up in the middle of the night because of a noise coming from below.
12:27 The first thing to do is to check what noise it is.
12:30 If you suspect that there is someone in your house, do it quickly and discreetly.
12:35 It is possible that it is simply a mouse that has overturned something.
12:38 However, if your suspicions are confirmed and you see someone in your living room, immediately look for a way out.
12:45 Use the emergency ladder if you have one, otherwise a window can do the trick.
12:49 That said, there is a good chance that you will have to stay there.
12:53 Take the phone and call the authorities.
12:55 Give them your address and explain the situation as briefly as possible.
12:59 And in a blink of an eye, they will send a patrol to your house.
13:02 When they arrive in your street, they do not find the number of your home.
13:06 They end up coming back, but only after having followed the numbers of the other houses in the neighborhood.
13:11 When the police arrive, the burglar has already fled.
13:14 It is because the number of your house is barely visible. It is too small.
13:19 The one in your mailbox is barely visible too.
13:22 Buy a new, bright plate.
13:24 Make sure the number is big and visible.
13:27 This will not only help your guests find your house faster,
13:30 but you will also prevent the authorities from missing your house next time.
13:34 While you are there, make sure that the number of the mailbox is also clearly visible.
13:39 Another good way to protect your house is to add a fence if you do not already have one.
13:44 Make sure it is difficult to cross.
13:46 Use a chainmail fence or even metal.
13:49 Fix it with concrete so that the burglars cannot lift it.
13:53 If you are not embarrassed by the aesthetic and aggressive appearance,
13:56 you can even try a fence while being barbed.
13:59 Then add lighting to your yard, because if it is dark,
14:02 it will be a perfect target for unwanted visitors.
14:05 Keep some lights outside that you can turn on and off.
14:09 A well-lit yard will allow you to see what is going on outside and your neighbors too.
14:14 If they spot someone, they will call you and the police if necessary.
14:18 A hand-held camera is an additional option.
14:21 It is usually off during the day and works with a motion detector.
14:25 It is very clear and turns on when it detects a movement.
14:29 You can even find one that starts recording immediately.
14:32 This way, not only will you scare the burglars,
14:35 but you will also have video evidence in case something happens.
14:39 Another solution is the video doorbell.
14:42 When someone rings the doorbell, you can film them without being at home.
14:46 Since your phone is connected to the doorbell,
14:48 you just have to answer the call wherever you are.
14:51 If it is someone you do not know and you feel something creepy,
14:54 you can pretend to be at home and let them know that you are not interested.
14:58 Thick shrubs in your yard will give the burglar a perfect hiding place
15:02 and you may not even notice that there is an intruder.
15:06 Keep your shrubs closely cut.
15:08 Not only will you be safe, but you will give your garden a more beautiful and well-kept look.
15:13 When you are on vacation, avoid posting your whereabouts on social media.
15:17 Let's say someone has been at your house in their line of sight for a while now.
15:21 Your announced absence will be the perfect opportunity for him to strike.
15:25 Do not post the beautiful photos you took of your trip abroad,
15:29 but think a little about your safety.
15:31 Oh, and do not show people what you do every day.
15:35 Keep your agenda secret.
15:37 It will be easy for someone to follow your daily schedule
15:40 and plan a raid when you are at the supermarket, for example.
15:44 It may seem obvious, but always lock your house when you leave,
15:48 even if you plan to live in a safe neighborhood.
15:50 And if you just moved into a new house, also change your locks.
15:54 This is also true for apartments, or even if you rent just one room.
15:58 We are never too careful.
16:00 Always give the impression that someone is inside the house, even when it is empty.
16:05 The first way to do it is to leave the TV on,
16:08 or even better, buy a television simulator.
16:11 This way, you can program it to turn on and off at your discretion.
16:16 I mean, it would be weird if it was constantly on.
16:19 It will also save you a few euros,
16:22 because the simulators consume less than the real devices.
16:25 Also buy a programmable clock and connect a lamp.
16:28 Set the timer to start on its own,
16:31 let's say at dinner time and at a certain time at night.
16:34 You can also buy another one to plug in a radio.
16:37 If people think you're listening to music,
16:39 they're probably not going to try to do anything at home.
16:42 Do not forget the valuables that are outside,
16:45 like your barbecue, your bikes and your equipment.
16:48 Put them in your garage and lock them well.
16:51 Security cameras outside your house will allow you to keep an eye on everything,
16:55 even when you're at work.
16:57 This option is particularly useful if you are very afraid that someone is coming in by surprise.
17:02 Remember to reinforce your door, even if it is relatively new.
17:06 Instead of coming in by surprise,
17:08 they could try to completely smash the door if they want to come in at all costs.
17:12 Buy a stronger door that will not fall easily.
17:15 It is also worth it for the windows.
17:17 It is worth investing in a type of glass that will not break if a stone hits it.
17:22 Or use a safety film.
17:24 This is a transparent, resistant plastic that you put on your windows to reinforce them.
17:29 Even if it breaks, this film will keep the glass shards in place.
17:33 This will significantly slow down intrusions,
17:36 and they may even completely give up the matter.
17:39 The amount of mail you receive also allows people to know if you are at home or not.
17:44 If there is a huge pile of letters, it is clear that you have not checked your mail for at least two days.
17:50 So even if your house was not a target, it could be now.
17:54 Get to know your neighbors, invite them to come and have a cup of tea,
17:57 and tell them about your concerns.
18:00 You will monitor their backs, and they will monitor yours.
18:03 And if someone suspicious comes, they will let you know.
