Canadian Seniors, Put Foil on Your Door Knob Tonight — A Retired Insurance Adjuster Explains Why

Canadian seniors, here's why you should put foil on your door knob tonight, and what it really does. After 34 years as an insurance claims adjuster walking through Canadian homes the morning after a break-in, I explain the foil trick for what it is. It won't stop a burglar. It tells you someone tried your door before you walk inside. I walk through how to wrap the knob properly, why you photograph it, and what to check from the driveway. Then nine habits that actually keep thieves out, from lamp timers and Canada Post Hold Mail to lock de-icer in your pocket, a patio door bar, three-inch screws in the strike plate, and the door from the garage into the house. Most importantly, if the foil has been disturbed, don't go in. Drive somewhere safe, call 911 and let police check the house. Never confront an intruder. #HomeSecurity #Canada #SeniorSafety #BurglaryPrevention
