A former burglar reveals a very common mistake that people make with the security of their home

You may think that when it comes to home safety, you are doing a good job. Be sure to lock all doors and windows and keep nothing too valuable on the screen.

But it turns out that there are still a number of ways you can expose yourself to burglars.

This is, according to Michael Fraser, a security expert who knows all too well how burglars think, as he was.

On this Wednesday morning, Fraser presented his best tips for protecting your home.

One of his most interesting tips concerned a schedule, which did not bother many of us.

However, he claims that yours could expose you to serious risks, because burglars could read it if it fits their field of vision.

"Do not hang a calendar with holiday dates near the window, they'll come back when they know you're away," Fraser warns.

In addition to the calendars, the expert also recommends that people use the two locks on the front door if they have two as burglars can find out when the dead lock does not fit. is not activated.

"What I can do," he explained, "is to put my foot against the door and if I push on it and it moves, a burglar could say that he's not engaged .

"Do not have two locks if you're not going to use them."

Fraser went on to say that the "Beware of the dog" signs are "useless" because "if the dog can move around the house, a burglar too".

He added that people should install as much security as possible in their home – especially a doorbell with a camera.

"The problem is that an opportunist always looks for a house where there is absolutely no security.The more you do at home, the more likely they are to move and go to another house" , did he declare.
