15 Things to Secure Before Bed If You Live Alone

A doorbell camera in Reno caught the whole thing in eleven seconds. A man walked past the front door without even trying it, went straight to a bathroom window the homeowner swears she locks every night — except that one night, exhausted from a long shift, she didn’t. In and out in minutes, nothing broken, nothing unusual about the house. Just one skipped step in a routine she’d done a thousand times before. In this video I walk through 15 things worth locking, checking, or setting before bed if you live alone — in the order I’d actually do them — so you’ve got a complete routine you can run in under ten minutes, every single night, regardless of how tired you are. I’m Frank Dobbins. Twenty years in the Army, years since spent as a residential security consultant. The goal isn’t a longer list to remember. It’s a routine simple enough that it holds up on the exact nights you’re least likely to remember it. Tell me in the comments which of these 15 you’re not currently doing. #HomeSecurity #FrankDobbins #LivingAlone #NightRoutine #BurglarPrevention #SafetyTips #HomeProtection #SeniorSafety
