Publish Not your original work? Add source Life isn't as scary as it might seem on the TV, but that doesn't mean that you can completely throw the question of security out of your living room window. You need to be aware that there are some baddies out there who are simply waiting for their chance to ransack someone's home and steal your hard-earned belongings. They might not reach Gotham villain levels of dastardly evilness, but you're not a superhero either. You need to be prepared, you need to be realistic. Ironically enough, it's sometimes villains that can protect you from other villains, as redditor AsleepFondant proved. They asked former burglars to offer some advice about where people really shouldn't be hiding their valuables, and, wow, did they deliver. It's making us reconsider a lot of things that we took for granted. For instance, safes might not be as safe as you think while closets shouldn't be where you store your jewelry. Scroll down and let us know if any of these tips changed your perspective on home security. Oh, and a small reminder that you should NEVER reveal to anyone where you actually hide your valuables. Even if it's anonymously on the internet. Stay safe. Stay smart. I reached out to redditor AsleepFondant to have a talk about their viral thread on r/AskReddit. They revealed to Bored Panda what the inspiration for the question was. "For starters, the area I live in is not the safest and I have experience of having my house broken into when I was a little kid, so you could say it's something that is on my mind," they said. Scroll down for our exclusive interview with AsleepFondant, dear Readers. By the way, if you're curious about some other tips and tricks ex-burglars shared, you really ought to check out this recent article about home security on Bored Panda. This post may include affiliate links. #1 This doesn't exactly answer the question asked, but it is a tip on potentially protecting your valuables. Bear with me because it's a bit strange: Glue a spare key (not one that opens something important) under your door mat. Weird right?
A few years ago I did this in addition to installing cameras. Over the last couple of years I've seen this exact scenario play out: thief walks to the door, checks under the mat, unsuccessfully tries to grab the key, backs up, looks around to see if anyone is watching (presumably because they think they have fallen for some trap/prank where they are being surveilled), and LEAVES. They don't even search for another way in because it spooks them. aj9811 , Kelly Sikkema Report Final score: 330points POST mulk mulk Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 11 months ago Very nice and useful "prank" (I am gonna do that) 70 70points reply View more comments I was curious to get the redditor's take on how to defend our home from would-be burglars and evildoers of every kind. Here's the advice that they gave Bored Panda: "The best defense is probably not having your house be an easy target to start with. Put up security screens, lock your doors and windows, cut overgrown plants and put up signs like 'beware of the dog'/'security cameras.'" They pointed out that you should probably put these signs up even if you don't own a dog or any cameras. I also wanted the original poster's opinion about whether or not we should trust the advice of ex-criminals when it comes to security. "That's a tough one," they said. "Being criminals, I would say it's best to take their advice with a grain of salt, but on the other hand who better to ask then the people doing the burgling themselves, the burglars." What's more, the redditor shared a bit of their experience about staying smart on the streets, especially in areas that aren't as safe. "I have found that generally if you keep to yourself (like not involving yourself or trying to break up in fights) and don't look at shady people, you will be fine." #2 My husband is so good at hiding things from burglars that there are a number of valuable items that we have never found again. So hiding things is fine, but remembering where you hid them is just as important. fizzy_sister , Nathan Fertig Report Final score: 223points POST william mcgloin william mcgloin Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 11 months ago You robbed yourself!!! 94 94points reply View More Replies...

Not a burglar but some broke into my family's house 4 or 5 years ago when we were out on a concert. They checked everything - took all money and jewelry they could find.
Except! My room was a mess to begin with. I left piles of clothes on the floor, my study desk messy af, left piles of papers on both desk and floor (i was in a hurry before we all left and was searching for something I can quite remember now.
Now. I had 800€ and golden earrings on my desk, just sitting there.
The burglars opened the doors... and didn't move a thing. Left my 800€ and golden earrings alone and moved to another room.
From then on I have been using this as an excuse why I don't need to clean up my room.

They had no clue the question would go so viral. In fact, it was the very first time their post on Reddit got so much attention. "I didn't expect it to blow up at all, I was shocked as that's the first time anything I have ever posted has blown up to that degree," they told me. They joked that they wish they'd posted the question on their main Reddit account, considering how much people liked it. #4 Former crime reporter here. Tampon box and kitty litter are good.

View more comments It's not just burglars that we should watch out for. We also have to be aware of how safe we are online. After all, online shopping scams and swindles can be someone's way to worm themselves into your wallet or to get private information. Earlier, I'd reached out to the moderator team that manages the r/Scams subreddit for a few comments about online safety. According to one of the mods, online scams are a very different beast than real-life swindles. "I think online shopping scams are different because you lose that layer of dealing with a real-life person. When you have a real person in front of you, a typical person will feel shame or guilt at the thought of taking advantage of a person," they told Bored Panda. #7 Your shed. Seriously. LOCK YOUR SHED.

She was a cranky old cur, the one who had a ton of dough, no offspring, didn't donate, and thought she could take it with her. Well, hell. When she died, I helped out my elderly parents clean out her place. Instead of just being able to throw away the junk and pile up the clothes and other items to donation centers, we had to rifle through every pocket, every damn planter, pot and pan, etc. It was sort of fun, but took a hell of a long time. From what I recall, there was a few hundred bucks inside a few planters, 4.5k in the bottom part of an unused planter, under some little foam brick you stick fake flowers into, that was tucked way in the back of a cabinet, jewelry stashed in the arm of a leather couch, more money in some sewing drawer, a few hundred bucks in several jackets, etc. I took forever to go through every goddamn pocket, sock, drawer, container of nails and buttons, etc. Gotta admit, sorta fun as well. She never told any of us that she had money hidden. My mother just had a hunch.

It is much easier to act maliciously when you don't have a real victim directly in front of you," they said. "Online scams also use a lot of tricks to pressure buyers; low prices, pushes to buy now!, taking advantage of someone's kindness or naivete (re: advance check fraud, money mules, etc), or advertising one product and sending another (or nothing at all, by using a fake tracking number). Getting a person to make a decision via high-pressure tactics and preventing them from reflecting and making a sound decision is key," the moderator from r/Scams explained how some scammers work. #10 My grandfather had a huge safe in the basement.
Inside that safe was another, smaller safe.
And inside that other smaller safe was, you guessed it, an even smaller safe.
When he got sick and had to be in the hospital for awhile he started telling everybody, from the people in line at the fast food place to the nurses, how we was okay because all his stuff was in this unbreakable safe in his basement. People thought he was crazy.
Of course what was bound to happen happened and one time when he was out to the hospital someone broke into his home. When he got back maybe a week later, he saw that the first 2 safes we're opened but the guy gave up on the smallest one. Good for him because there wasn't anything in that last safe either. We had a good laugh about it for the 3 years he was still alive, trying to picture the would-be robber's face when he saw the third safe.
So I guess one place you SHOULD keep your valuables is a safe inside a safe inside another safe.

Then they find the laptop that you stupidly left in the microwave thinking it won't get stolen in there. 8 8points reply View More Replies...

"Credit card protections for most cards are much more forgiving than debit cards. You can generally get your money back faster if you were scammed or misled by a business, versus initiating an investigation through your bank. It is always smarter to pay by credit card (and pay off your balance monthly!)." #16 Don't leave things out that people can see from outside your home or car.

He should have learned his lesson then, but maybe 2 moths later he decided to hide a laptop in the microwave, because you can’t miss the laptop when it is the only thing in the microwave, right?

He picked the wealthiest neighborhoods (false sense of security), the most hit were McMansions. He would hike up onto the hills, use binoculars to see when residents left, then break in. If there was an alarm he would keep ransacking the place until the alarm company called to verify if the alarm was a false one or not. He would answer the phone using a child like voice, tell the alarm operator that “Mommy is in the bath, hold on, I will get her”, he would then finish up, pick up the phone and tell the operator “Mommy said to tell you the house is being burglarized”, then he would hang up and promptly leave.

He picked the wealthiest neighborhoods (false sense of security), the most hit were McMansions. He would hike up onto the hills, use binoculars to see when residents left, then break in. If there was an alarm he would keep ransacking the place until the alarm company called to verify if the alarm was a false one or not. He would answer the phone using a child like voice, tell the alarm operator that “Mommy is in the bath, hold on, I will get her”, he would then finish up, pick up the phone and tell the operator “Mommy said to tell you the house is being burglarized”, then he would hang up and promptly leave. Took years to catch him. He had even purchased a home with his ill gotten gains. 8 8points reply Leo Domitrix Leo Domitrix Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 11 months ago Same around here.

Leaving a yard light on isn't a real deterrent and helps anyone to see as they wander around your yard and they may not even be noticed.

30 Ex-Burglars Reveal Where You Should Never Hide Your Stuff And Share Other Helpful Tips Interview With Author
Jonas Grinevičius andJustinas Keturka
Publish Not your original work? Add source Life isn't as scary as it might seem on the TV, but that doesn't mean that you can completely throw the question of security out of your living room window. You need to be aware that there are some baddies out there who are simply waiting for their chance to ransack someone's home and steal your hard-earned belongings. They might not reach Gotham villain levels of dastardly evilness, but you're not a superhero either. You need to be prepared, you need to be realistic. Ironically enough, it's sometimes villains that can protect you from other villains, as redditor AsleepFondant proved. They asked former burglars to offer some advice about where people really shouldn't be hiding their valuables, and, wow, did they deliver. It's making us reconsider a lot of things that we took for granted. For instance, safes might not be as safe as you think while closets shouldn't be where you store your jewelry. Scroll down and let us know if any of these tips changed your perspective on home security. Oh, and a small reminder that you should NEVER reveal to anyone where you actually hide your valuables. Even if it's anonymously on the internet. Stay safe. Stay smart. I reached out to redditor AsleepFondant to have a talk about their viral thread on r/AskReddit. They revealed to Bored Panda what the inspiration for the question was. "For starters, the area I live in is not the safest and I have experience of having my house broken into when I was a little kid, so you could say it's something that is on my mind," they said. Scroll down for our exclusive interview with AsleepFondant, dear Readers. By the way, if you're curious about some other tips and tricks ex-burglars shared, you really ought to check out this recent article about home security on Bored Panda. This post may include affiliate links. #1 This doesn't exactly answer the question asked, but it is a tip on potentially protecting your valuables. Bear with me because it's a bit strange: Glue a spare key (not one that opens something important) under your door mat. Weird right?
A few years ago I did this in addition to installing cameras. Over the last couple of years I've seen this exact scenario play out: thief walks to the door, checks under the mat, unsuccessfully tries to grab the key, backs up, looks around to see if anyone is watching (presumably because they think they have fallen for some trap/prank where they are being surveilled), and LEAVES. They don't even search for another way in because it spooks them. aj9811 , Kelly Sikkema Report Final score: 330points POST mulk mulk Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 11 months ago Very nice and useful "prank" (I am gonna do that) 70 70points reply View more comments I was curious to get the redditor's take on how to defend our home from would-be burglars and evildoers of every kind. Here's the advice that they gave Bored Panda: "The best defense is probably not having your house be an easy target to start with. Put up security screens, lock your doors and windows, cut overgrown plants and put up signs like 'beware of the dog'/'security cameras.'" They pointed out that you should probably put these signs up even if you don't own a dog or any cameras. I also wanted the original poster's opinion about whether or not we should trust the advice of ex-criminals when it comes to security. "That's a tough one," they said. "Being criminals, I would say it's best to take their advice with a grain of salt, but on the other hand who better to ask then the people doing the burgling themselves, the burglars." What's more, the redditor shared a bit of their experience about staying smart on the streets, especially in areas that aren't as safe. "I have found that generally if you keep to yourself (like not involving yourself or trying to break up in fights) and don't look at shady people, you will be fine." #2 My husband is so good at hiding things from burglars that there are a number of valuable items that we have never found again. So hiding things is fine, but remembering where you hid them is just as important. fizzy_sister , Nathan Fertig Report Final score: 223points POST william mcgloin william mcgloin Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 11 months ago You robbed yourself!!! 94 94points reply View More Replies...

Not a burglar but some broke into my family's house 4 or 5 years ago when we were out on a concert. They checked everything - took all money and jewelry they could find.
Except! My room was a mess to begin with. I left piles of clothes on the floor, my study desk messy af, left piles of papers on both desk and floor (i was in a hurry before we all left and was searching for something I can quite remember now.
Now. I had 800€ and golden earrings on my desk, just sitting there.
The burglars opened the doors... and didn't move a thing. Left my 800€ and golden earrings alone and moved to another room.
From then on I have been using this as an excuse why I don't need to clean up my room.

"I didn't expect it to blow up at all, I was shocked as that's the first time anything I have ever posted has blown up to that degree," they told me. They joked that they wish they'd posted the question on their main Reddit account, considering how much people liked it. #4 Former crime reporter here. Tampon box and kitty litter are good.

View more comments It's not just burglars that we should watch out for. We also have to be aware of how safe we are online. After all, online shopping scams and swindles can be someone's way to worm themselves into your wallet or to get private information. Earlier, I'd reached out to the moderator team that manages the r/Scams subreddit for a few comments about online safety. According to one of the mods, online scams are a very different beast than real-life swindles. "I think online shopping scams are different because you lose that layer of dealing with a real-life person. When you have a real person in front of you, a typical person will feel shame or guilt at the thought of taking advantage of a person," they told Bored Panda. #7 Your shed. Seriously. LOCK YOUR SHED.

She was a cranky old cur, the one who had a ton of dough, no offspring, didn't donate, and thought she could take it with her. Well, hell. When she died, I helped out my elderly parents clean out her place. Instead of just being able to throw away the junk and pile up the clothes and other items to donation centers, we had to rifle through every pocket, every damn planter, pot and pan, etc. It was sort of fun, but took a hell of a long time. From what I recall, there was a few hundred bucks inside a few planters, 4.5k in the bottom part of an unused planter, under some little foam brick you stick fake flowers into, that was tucked way in the back of a cabinet, jewelry stashed in the arm of a leather couch, more money in some sewing drawer, a few hundred bucks in several jackets, etc. I took forever to go through every goddamn pocket, sock, drawer, container of nails and buttons, etc. Gotta admit, sorta fun as well.

It is much easier to act maliciously when you don't have a real victim directly in front of you," they said. "Online scams also use a lot of tricks to pressure buyers; low prices, pushes to buy now!, taking advantage of someone's kindness or naivete (re: advance check fraud, money mules, etc), or advertising one product and sending another (or nothing at all, by using a fake tracking number). Getting a person to make a decision via high-pressure tactics and preventing them from reflecting and making a sound decision is key," the moderator from r/Scams explained how some scammers work. #10 My grandfather had a huge safe in the basement.
Inside that safe was another, smaller safe.
And inside that other smaller safe was, you guessed it, an even smaller safe.
When he got sick and had to be in the hospital for awhile he started telling everybody, from the people in line at the fast food place to the nurses, how we was okay because all his stuff was in this unbreakable safe in his basement. People thought he was crazy.
Of course what was bound to happen happened and one time when he was out to the hospital someone broke into his home. When he got back maybe a week later, he saw that the first 2 safes we're opened but the guy gave up on the smallest one. Good for him because there wasn't anything in that last safe either. We had a good laugh about it for the 3 years he was still alive, trying to picture the would-be robber's face when he saw the third safe.
So I guess one place you SHOULD keep your valuables is a safe inside a safe inside another safe.

"Credit card protections for most cards are much more forgiving than debit cards.

It is always smarter to pay by credit card (and pay off your balance monthly!)." #16 Don't leave things out that people can see from outside your home or car.

He should have learned his lesson then, but maybe 2 moths later he decided to hide a laptop in the microwave, because you can’t miss the laptop when it is the only thing in the microwave, right?

If someone is brazen enough to break into my home for my car, I’d rather them take it and leave. I don’t want them to enter my bedroom to search for the keys while I’m sleeping. Cars can be replaced, that’s why we have insurance. 98 98points reply View More Replies... View more comments #24 On your social media page.

Came back to find someone broke my window and stole the textbooks. Cop told me that it's very common and unlikely they will catch the guy, so I was out ~$700, which was huge as a college student. zepaperclip , Sharon McCutcheon Report Final score: 88points POST Darko Pešić Darko Pešić Community Member • points posts comments upvotes FollowUnfollow 11 months ago Lol 700 is huge for a college student...
