Everyone has heard of lock bumping but how many of you know that many of the things you do also aid the bad guy in getting into your home? Have you ever forgotten to lock your door or hid a key in case you locked yourself out? Here's a clue...don't hide a key. The bad guy will borrow it, make another one and return whenever they want. In order to remember to lock your door you only need a subliminal message to be sent to you. Many times this is accomplished by performing some task associated with the door locks. For example, if you installed the deadbolt yourself, you are not likely to forget locking your deadbolt. Now, most houses already have deadbolts, right? Well take a piece of masking tape, write on it "lock door" and place the piece of tape directly above the deadbolt. This type cognitive task associated with the doors lock can trigger your sublimanal state of mind, which occupies about 90% of your brain trust.

We'll talk about lock bumping and other solutions against home invasions soon.
