How Putting A Pair Of Old Boots On Your Porch Can Protect Your Home
By V BAWA
In an innovative approach to home security, discreetly placing a pair of old boots on your porch when you leave can serve as an effective deterrent against potential break-ins.
This strategy utilizes the psychological tactic of creating the illusion that someone is in the house, thereby making your property a less appealing target for potential burglars.
To implement this method, use a well-worn pair of your own boots. If you don’t have any, a trip to the thrift store can provide a cheap, used pair perfect for this purpose.
Big, worn, muddy boots are recommended because they communicate that there's someone inside with a considerable presence who can potentially confront an intruder if need be.
This technique can also benefit those who live alone — such as single women — and want to create the impression that someone else is in the house with them.
