00:00:00Hey, do you hear that? It sounds like someone is knocking on your door.
00:00:06But you don't hear anyone. Maybe it's just your neighbor asking you for gardening tools.
00:00:12You get up to go down, but you hear a metallic noise scratching in the lock's hole.
00:00:18You freeze in fear.
00:00:21A few seconds later, you can hear the click of the door, but the thing is, you live alone.
00:00:26First, let's check that there really is someone in the house.
00:00:30But you have to be very quiet in case there really is a burglar.
00:00:35Look outside the house to look for traces. Do you see anything suspicious?
00:00:40Is there an unknown vehicle near your house?
00:00:43You may see footsteps or a broken window.
00:00:46Was the lock's door open?
00:00:49There may also be clues inside the house, but be careful if you look for them.
00:00:54Make sure you're not seen.
00:00:56There may be lights that are generally on that have been turned off,
00:00:59or mud on the floor that wasn't there before.
00:01:02Listen carefully to the sounds.
00:01:04You may hear footsteps or movements or the creaking of a door.
00:01:07Wait, did you hear that?
00:01:09It sounds like someone knocked on the lower table.
00:01:12It sounds like there really is someone in your house.
00:01:15Well, the next step is to try to get out to put you in safety.
00:01:19If possible, just wait.
00:01:22Go through the front door or the back door or even through a window.
00:01:26If it's a little risky, you can still try to escape.
00:01:29A small injury is nothing compared to your life.
00:01:32If escaping is not an option, then lock yourself up somewhere.
00:01:36Bedrooms are generally the first places that burglars visit
00:01:40because that's where most people keep their valuables.
00:01:44So it's better not to stay there.
00:01:46But if there's no other way, a bedroom is still better than nothing.
00:01:50Lock yourself up there and pretend to sleep.
00:01:53But if you can, it's better to hide somewhere else.
00:01:56The bathroom is a good choice because it's generally not interested in burglars.
00:02:01Now, stay calm.
00:02:03The burglar probably won't spend more than 10 minutes in your house.
00:02:07If the intruder doesn't discover that you're inside, you'll avoid confrontation.
00:02:11The most important thing is that you're safe,
00:02:14so don't move and don't make any noise.
00:02:17If you're hiding and safe, call the police immediately.
00:02:21Don't forget, when you call them, to always give your position first
00:02:25in case something happens and you can't finish your conversation.
00:02:29At least they'll know where to go.
00:02:31If you can do it without being noticed,
00:02:33try to discern the intruder as carefully as possible.
00:02:36Make sure you remember his size, his body shape,
00:02:39the way he walks, the color of his hair and skin,
00:02:43his sex, his age
00:02:45and any other specific details you might notice.
00:02:48Everything you can spot will be useful.
00:02:51If you can look outside and see the vehicle,
00:02:53remember its brand, its color and the license plate number.
00:02:58Then, wait again.
00:03:00Don't move and don't leave the place you've chosen
00:03:03until the burglar leaves or the authorities come to your aid.
00:03:07You should know that burglars don't randomly choose any house.
00:03:12They don't want to be noticed, so they choose their target carefully.
00:03:16And you can make sure they don't choose your house.
00:03:19Make an open space.
00:03:21The vegetation makes the house more difficult to observe,
00:03:24so burglars choose the houses with the most vegetation.
00:03:27Make sure to cut down all the shrubs that hide the windows and doors.
00:03:31Turn on the light every night, every day of the year.
00:03:34Illuminate everything, the porch, the alley, the yard,
00:03:37both in the front and in the back.
00:03:40First, it makes the environment more visible,
00:03:42and burglars prefer to stay away from it.
00:03:45Second, it gives the impression that someone is at home,
00:03:48and they prefer that no one is there when they break in.
00:03:53Lock all the doors and windows.
00:03:55People often forget to close the bathroom window,
00:03:58and burglars know that very well.
00:04:00There should never be any way to get in.
00:04:02Don't leave any secret passages to get into your house
00:04:05in case you forget your keys.
00:04:07If you know such a path, burglars know it too.
00:04:10If you have trees too close to your house,
00:04:13cut down the low branches so that it is not possible to climb
00:04:16and get in through the windows.
00:04:18Keep all your tools and put the ladders away in a key-locked shelter.
00:04:22Never leave them hanging when you don't use them,
00:04:25because they can all be used to break into your house.
00:04:29Do not keep double keys hidden somewhere outside the house.
00:04:33It is better to leave one to a trusted neighbor.
00:04:36If you are moving into a new house or a new apartment,
00:04:39change the locks if possible.
00:04:41Make sure your doors look modern and reliable.
00:04:44Old and broken doors attract burglars.
00:04:49Do not throw away important documents or invoices.
00:04:53Burglars can search your trash to find out more about you.
00:04:56So tear the papers into small pieces before throwing them away.
00:05:00Do not leave the box of a new plasma TV,
00:05:02an expensive phone, a laptop
00:05:05or a gold watch near your home.
00:05:07Do not show anyone that you have valuables.
00:05:10Make sure the house number is clearly displayed
00:05:13and that it is easily visible.
00:05:15This way, the police will be able to find your house more quickly.
00:05:19Even if you have installed security cameras,
00:05:22they do not guarantee that your house is not a target.
00:05:25Cameras are useful to find the burglar after everything has happened,
00:05:29but they do not prevent him from acting.
00:05:31A lot of thefts occur when people are on vacation.
00:05:34Burglars should not notice that you are not at home for a while.
00:05:38Every time you leave, make sure that people think you are still at home.
00:05:42Tell your neighbors that you are leaving.
00:05:44Ask them to keep an eye on your house and to check it from time to time.
00:05:48To see if someone lives in the house,
00:05:50burglars often check the mail.
00:05:53If the mailbox is full,
00:05:54it means that no one lives in the house at the moment.
00:05:57Ask your neighbor to pick up the mail for you
00:06:00and to pick up advertisements and newspapers on the porch.
00:06:03Burglars can also leave witnesses on your house.
00:06:06For example, they can put a thin strip cut into a plastic bottle
00:06:10in the door frame.
00:06:12If it stays on the door for one or two days,
00:06:15it indicates to the burglar that there is no one at home.
00:06:18So ask your neighbor to also check these details.
00:06:22Ask them to park their car from time to time in front of your house for a while.
00:06:26This will give the impression that you have visitors.
00:06:29But if the house remains silent for days,
00:06:32it is obvious that no one lives there.
00:06:34You can set a timer for the lights, the radio or the television
00:06:38so that they work a few hours a day.
00:06:41If you are leaving for a long time,
00:06:43make sure that your grass is cut and watered
00:06:45or that the snow in front of your house is shoveled.
00:06:48It is more wise not to post photos of your holidays
00:06:51while you are still there.
00:06:53Burglars know how to use social networks
00:06:55and they are doing their research.
00:06:57It is dangerous even if you have a private account.
00:07:00Burglars can collaborate with cybercriminals.
00:07:03They enter rich people's accounts,
00:07:06discover when they go on vacation
00:07:08and inform burglars.
00:07:10But before someone enters your house,
00:07:12they will watch it for a while.
00:07:15They will try to know when you are at home and when you are not.
00:07:18If you start getting a lot of unknown calls,
00:07:21it may be a sign that they are checking what time of the day you go out.
00:07:25If the light sensors start to malfunction,
00:07:27check immediately if everything is fine.
00:07:29This does not always mean that there is a problem with electricity.
00:07:32Burglars may have cut the power cables.
00:07:36Be careful at the door.
00:07:38If you notice scratches on the lock
00:07:40or if it becomes more difficult for you to open it with your key,
00:07:43it may mean that someone has tried to enter your house.
00:07:46Change the locks immediately.
00:07:49A breach can start with a simple knock on the door.
00:07:52If you are at home at that time,
00:07:54it is important to learn to answer
00:07:56to frighten burglars.
00:07:58Always act as if you were not alone at home.
00:08:01You can shout something like,
00:08:03Can someone go open?
00:08:05Tell your children that they should never answer the door
00:08:08or open it to someone without supervision.
00:08:11You have probably heard that when a burglar decides to target a house,
00:08:15he starts by scouting it.
00:08:17This means that he first observes the owners' walkways,
00:08:21discovers information about their habits
00:08:24and determines the best time to enter their home.
00:08:27When he is ready to commit his larceny,
00:08:29he already knows with certainty
00:08:31when there will be no one inside
00:08:33or when the owners will be distracted.
00:08:35One of the tricks used by burglars
00:08:37to collect information about your routine
00:08:39is so simple that you may not even think about it.
00:08:43But the next time you hear a discreet crack
00:08:45under the sole of your shoe,
00:08:47stop and check what it was.
00:08:49There is a good chance
00:08:51that you find a crack under the sole of your shoe.
00:08:53If this is the case,
00:08:55it is an indication that something is going on.
00:08:57It is a rather effective method
00:08:59that criminals use to know
00:09:01if you have gone on a trip
00:09:03or when you return exactly in the evening.
00:09:05A crack is such a banal object
00:09:07that people generally do not pay much attention to it.
00:09:10And yet you have to make them notice it.
00:09:12You arrive at home,
00:09:14you walk on the crack
00:09:16and you automatically reveal all your secrets to the burglar.
00:09:18They know for sure
00:09:20if the house is inhabited
00:09:22and can also know your schedule.
00:09:24It is even worse if you are not at home.
00:09:26The crack under the sole of your shoe
00:09:28remains intact,
00:09:30indicating to the criminal
00:09:32that the way is clear for a breach.
00:09:34So if you find a crack under your shoe,
00:09:36it's pretty bad news.
00:09:38Someone is interested in your house
00:09:40and is watching it.
00:09:42It might be a good idea to warn the police
00:09:44or take additional security measures.
00:09:46The crack technique
00:09:48is just one of the many tricks
00:09:50used by burglars.
00:09:52Another sign that can alert you
00:09:54that you are under surveillance
00:09:56is the presence of white stones
00:09:58left near your house or in the alley.
00:10:00This means that a criminal
00:10:02has already visited your house
00:10:04and marked it as deserving of being burglarized.
00:10:06Another reason why thieves
00:10:08may have left you stones
00:10:10is to indicate that your house remains empty
00:10:12during the day.
00:10:14If you notice a USB key
00:10:16that goes over a sidewalk or a wall,
00:10:18don't be surprised.
00:10:20You have probably fallen on a dead drop.
00:10:22Despite its frightening name,
00:10:24it is actually a global artistic project
00:10:26that has borrowed some tips
00:10:28from the world of espionage.
00:10:30Many people who know this project
00:10:32are happy to be able to put on their black coat
00:10:34and their sunglasses
00:10:36and exchange confidential information
00:10:38with other people.
00:10:40The fact is that several decades ago,
00:10:42there was no way to exchange secret materials.
00:10:44There was the live drop,
00:10:46when spies met in person,
00:10:48but it was often very dangerous.
00:10:50This is why a dead drop system
00:10:52was invented.
00:10:54In this case, some bricks detached from a wall
00:10:56in a alley allowed to hide important documents
00:10:58that had to be recovered later.
00:11:00Today,
00:11:02there are more than 1,500 dead drops
00:11:04all over the world,
00:11:06and the data accumulated on these USB keys
00:11:08reaches 10 teraoctets.
00:11:10You can find a dead drop
00:11:12on any continent you visit,
00:11:14except Antarctica, maybe,
00:11:16because there are not so many walls there.
00:11:18If you find one, what to do with it?
00:11:20First of all,
00:11:22it is strongly advised not to connect
00:11:24an unknown USB key to your computer.
00:11:26You never know what virus is hiding there
00:11:28while waiting to destroy the content
00:11:30of your hard drive.
00:11:32And even if the risk is part of the game,
00:11:34don't provoke too much luck.
00:11:36If you are 100% sure you want to play,
00:11:38connect your computer as best you can.
00:11:40You can't imagine what information
00:11:42is waiting for you on a USB key.
00:11:44Everyone can download videos,
00:11:46photos or text files,
00:11:48and this has already caused several problems.
00:11:50On the same subject,
00:11:52have you ever received a package
00:11:54with a USB key inside?
00:11:56Whatever you decide to do with it,
00:11:58don't plug it into your computer.
00:12:00Such cases are more and more frequent in Australia.
00:12:02The police warn people
00:12:04that computer pirates have invented
00:12:06a new tactic.
00:12:08They put anonymous USB keys
00:12:10in mailboxes.
00:12:12You probably won't be surprised
00:12:14to learn that these gadgets
00:12:16contain malicious software
00:12:18capable of hacking your computer.
00:12:20Their authors obviously rely
00:12:22on human curiosity,
00:12:24and it pays off.
00:12:26People can't fight against the inexplicable desire
00:12:28to verify the content of a mysterious gift.
00:12:30As a result,
00:12:32almost half of the USB keys received by the post
00:12:34are stored in computers.
00:12:36Then, people start having
00:12:38serious problems with their laptops
00:12:40and their computers.
00:12:42For example, fraudulent media
00:12:44start spreading service offers,
00:12:46or computer viruses damage
00:12:48the files and programs of the computer.
00:12:50In short,
00:12:52don't touch this USB key,
00:12:54OK?
00:12:56You leave a shopping mall,
00:12:58your office or the airport
00:13:00and go to the parking lot to get your car.
00:13:02When you're about to start
00:13:04and leave,
00:13:06you see something strange on your windshield.
00:13:08Is it a €100 bill
00:13:10wrapped around your windshield wiper?
00:13:12Oh, you could certainly find a way
00:13:14to spend this unexpected gift.
00:13:16But do you really think
00:13:18someone could accidentally put money
00:13:20on your windshield and forget it?
00:13:22Beware, it's obviously a scam.
00:13:24As soon as you get out of your car
00:13:26to take a closer look at this mysterious banknote,
00:13:28its owner will take action.
00:13:30He will get in your car
00:13:32and leave at full speed.
00:13:34Few people will think about
00:13:36cutting the call and taking their stuff
00:13:38with them to check if it's really
00:13:40a €100 bill.
00:13:42As a result, in less than a minute,
00:13:44you will lose your car,
00:13:46your wallet and your documents
00:13:48and you will suddenly feel very alone
00:13:50in this parking lot.
00:13:52Some people have said they found
00:13:54a piece of clothing, such as a shirt,
00:13:56on their windshield or wrapped
00:13:58around their windshield wipers.
00:14:00If this ever happens to you,
00:14:02don't fall into the trap and don't try
00:14:04to remove the object.
00:14:06Just get in your car and leave
00:14:08as quickly as possible from the place
00:14:10where you were parked.
00:14:12This so-called forgotten clothing
00:14:14is in fact a new scam used by thieves.
00:14:16It works like this.
00:14:18If you see a piece of clothing that prevents
00:14:20your windshield wipers from moving or darkens your view,
00:14:22your first reaction will be to remove it, of course.
00:14:24But while you try to remove it,
00:14:26the thief has all the time to jump on you
00:14:28or get in your car.
00:14:30The most common places for this kind of scam
00:14:32are still the parking lots.
00:14:34They are generally poorly lit
00:14:36and rather deserted,
00:14:38which means that there are few witnesses
00:14:40around and a lot of dark corners
00:14:42so that the attacker can take notice.
00:14:44If one day you come home
00:14:46and you notice graffiti
00:14:48or marks on your door or your house,
00:14:50immediately call the police.
00:14:52Even if it looks like a joke
00:14:54of a teenager or a simple scratch,
00:14:56it is better to warn than to heal
00:14:58because burglars use certain marks
00:15:00to indicate to other criminals
00:15:02different things on your house.
00:15:04For example,
00:15:06something resembling the Roman number 2
00:15:08means that the owners are rich
00:15:10and that the place is therefore an excellent target.
00:15:12Likewise, a barred circle
00:15:14indicates to other burglars
00:15:16that there is nothing precious to take from you.
00:15:18A long horizontal rectangle
00:15:20divided into four parts
00:15:22means that the place is guarded
00:15:24by a big aggressive dog.
00:15:26A triangle divided into two parts
00:15:28by a vertical line
00:15:30indicates to the criminal
00:15:32to enter only at night,
00:15:34while an inverted triangle
00:15:36indicates that a house or apartment
00:15:38is free after dinner.
00:15:40And something that looks like an A
00:15:42and a combined K
00:15:44tells the accomplice
00:15:46that the house is still full of occupants.
00:15:48A new trick is used by car thieves.
00:15:50They slip it into the space
00:15:52between the door and the handle.
00:15:54When the owner thinks
00:15:56he has locked the door with his key,
00:15:58the vehicle is still open
00:16:00because the room prevents
00:16:02the lock of one of the doors from working.
00:16:04As soon as the owner moves away from his vehicle,
00:16:06the thief has no problem
00:16:08opening the door
00:16:10and stealing valuables.
00:16:12When there is a public gathering,
00:16:14a big party or even a day
00:16:16loaded in a shopping mall,
00:16:18can make a public announcement
00:16:20to say that a car, chosen by them of course,
00:16:22blocks his car
00:16:24and that he can't get out.
00:16:26As soon as the owner arrives
00:16:28to move his car,
00:16:30another group begins to act,
00:16:32assuming, and for a good reason,
00:16:34that the person in question
00:16:36has the key to the car on him.
00:16:38In the United States,
00:16:40a robbery takes place every 18 seconds.
00:16:42You have to experiment
00:16:44between 90 seconds and 12 minutes
00:16:46before getting caught.
00:16:48You probably heard that when a robber
00:16:50decides to target a house,
00:16:52he starts by studying it.
00:16:54This means that he observes his owners,
00:16:56denies information about their habits
00:16:58and determines the best time
00:17:00to enter the house.
00:17:02One of the tricks used by thieves
00:17:04to collect information about your routine
00:17:06is so simple that you probably
00:17:08never thought about it.
00:17:10But the next time you hear a small crack
00:17:12under your shoe when you unlock
00:17:14the door, you stop and look at what it is.
00:17:16There is a good chance that you discover
00:17:18a crushed biscuit.
00:17:20If this is the case, it is a clue
00:17:22that something is terribly wrong.
00:17:24It is a fairly effective tool
00:17:26that robbers use to know
00:17:28if you went on a trip
00:17:30or at what time exactly you
00:17:32come home every day.
00:17:34A biscuit is such an innocent little thing
00:17:36that people usually don't pay much attention to it,
00:17:38as long as they notice it.
00:17:40Most often we tell ourselves
00:17:42you come home, you walk on the biscuit,
00:17:44it crumbles and immediately reveals
00:17:46all your secrets to the burglar.
00:17:48They know for sure that the house
00:17:50is inhabited and can also guess
00:17:52the use of the time of its owner.
00:17:54Things get worse if you are absent
00:17:56for a while. The biscuit under the shoe
00:17:58remains intact, thus pointing
00:18:00to the thief that the time is perfect
00:18:02for a burglary.
00:18:04To reduce the risks that a burglar
00:18:06places biscuits under your shoe,
00:18:08do not announce all your life on social networks.
00:18:10You can't imagine how many criminals
00:18:12use them nowadays to collect information.
00:18:14Do not publish details
00:18:16about your holiday plans.
00:18:18If you are impatient to share your beautiful
00:18:20beach photos, do it after your return.
00:18:22Check your confidentiality parameters
00:18:24every time you publish something
00:18:26when you are not at home.
00:18:28It is too easy for a burglar to understand
00:18:30that your house is empty if you go online
00:18:32about the shops crowded on the last day of sales.
00:18:34Learn to know your neighbors.
00:18:36If you build a solid network
00:18:38around you in your community,
00:18:40these villa-thieves will consider
00:18:42that your neighborhood is too risky.
00:18:44Every time you are absent,
00:18:46inform your neighbors. Ask them to send you a text
00:18:48or to call you if they notice
00:18:50something suspicious around you.
00:18:52You can do the same for them the next time
00:18:54they go on a trip.
00:18:56Create the illusion that there is someone at home,
00:18:58even in your absence.
00:19:00Use television and radio.
00:19:02Let them turn on when you are absent.
00:19:04The noise of the voices will most likely make
00:19:06them think that you are absent,
00:19:08even if the biscuit is still whole.
00:19:10One of the most obvious signs
00:19:12that an owner is absent for a certain time
00:19:14is a pile of newspapers and mail
00:19:16in front of the front door.
00:19:18Ask someone, a neighbor, a parent or a friend
00:19:20to pass by regularly and to collect everything.
00:19:22If there is no one who can give you this service,
00:19:24put your mail on hold.
00:19:26You can do this at your local post office.
00:19:28Another thing that can betray your prolonged absence
00:19:30is an unattended lawn.
00:19:32Before leaving, hire someone
00:19:34to clean your garden regularly
00:19:36and remove all the weeds.
00:19:38Keep an open eye and be careful.
00:19:54Every year, there are about 2.5 million
00:19:56burglaries, one every 13 seconds.
00:19:58And the only thing
00:20:00that any burglar wants to know
00:20:02before targeting your house
00:20:04is you.
00:20:06The valuables you own,
00:20:08what you buy,
00:20:10where you travel,
00:20:12your schedule,
00:20:14everything and anything.
00:20:16The doorbell rings,
00:20:18you answer and there is no one on the other side.
00:20:20Before accusing the burglars again,
00:20:22think about this.
00:20:24Someone could be checking if you are at home.
00:20:26The same goes for all these strange calls
00:20:28that you receive or no one is at the other end of the line.
00:20:30Do not open your door every time
00:20:32you knock or ring.
00:20:34First, check who is on the other side.
00:20:36If the person tells you that it is the electricity company,
00:20:38the rental agency or the municipal services
00:20:40that send it,
00:20:42ask for an identity card
00:20:44and call the company to check,
00:20:46even if you have a video call.
00:20:48Nowadays, anyone can buy you any uniform.
00:20:50Do not rely only on appearances.
00:20:52A prospectus or an advertisement
00:20:54apparently innocent
00:20:56under the cloak of your door
00:20:58could mean that your house has been targeted.
00:21:00If the prospectus is still there the next day,
00:21:02it could tell the burglar
00:21:04that there is no one at home.
00:21:06In general, anyone who finds
00:21:08unwanted mail in front of their door
00:21:10will throw it away, right?
00:21:12They even have clever ways to find out
00:21:14if you have an alarm system,
00:21:16what type of door and window you have,
00:21:18if you have a dog,
00:21:20where you like to go on vacation and so on.
00:21:22If you feel uncomfortable
00:21:24or if you suspect something
00:21:26follow your instinct and do not say too much.
00:21:28Know that something rings a bell
00:21:30if someone takes pictures of your house
00:21:32and your car.
00:21:34He can even be rude
00:21:36and pretend to take a selfie
00:21:38or talk on the phone while he takes the picture.
00:21:40If you do not trust the photographer
00:21:42hanging in front of your house,
00:21:44stay calm and explain to them
00:21:46that you do not want him to continue
00:21:48because it is a private property.
00:21:50Burglars can stage an accident
00:21:52just to get you out of your house.
00:21:54A public service can claim
00:21:56that there is a gas or water leak.
00:21:58You leave the room for a few minutes
00:22:00but it is already too late.
00:22:02An experienced burglar can get
00:22:04what he needs in just 90 seconds.
00:22:06Always check the identity
00:22:08of the strangers who show up.
00:22:10Just call your supplier.
00:22:12Beware if you see a sticker
00:22:14or paint on your door.
00:22:16Of course, it could only be
00:22:18fortuitous damage,
00:22:20but it can also be a sign
00:22:22that you do not trust anyone.
00:22:24Get rid of it as soon as possible.
00:22:26Also be careful when you sell your car
00:22:28or any other valuables.
00:22:30Delete the ads you published
00:22:32as soon as you sold your property.
00:22:34Often, burglars call and pretend
00:22:36to be interested and ask
00:22:38if the item is still available.
00:22:40When you answer,
00:22:42no, I have already sold it,
00:22:44they will know that you have just
00:22:46received a large sum of money.
00:22:48Even if you have already spent everything,
00:22:51you wake up in the middle of the night
00:22:53because of a noise coming from downstairs.
00:22:55The first thing to do
00:22:57is to check what noise it is.
00:22:59If you suspect that there is someone in your house,
00:23:01do it quickly and discreetly.
00:23:03It is possible that it is simply
00:23:05a mouse that has overturned something.
00:23:07However, if your suspicions are confirmed
00:23:09and you see someone in your living room,
00:23:11immediately look for a way out.
00:23:13Use the emergency ladder
00:23:15if you have one,
00:23:17otherwise a window can do the trick.
00:23:19There is a good chance that you will have to stay there.
00:23:21Take the phone and call the authorities.
00:23:23Give them your address
00:23:25and explain the situation as briefly as possible.
00:23:27And in a blink of an eye,
00:23:29they will send a patrol to your house.
00:23:31Arriving in your street,
00:23:33they do not find the number of your home.
00:23:35They end up coming and going,
00:23:37but only after following the numbers
00:23:39of the other houses in the neighborhood.
00:23:41When the police arrive,
00:23:43the burglar has already fled.
00:23:45It is because the number of your house
00:23:47is barely visible.
00:23:49The number of your mailbox
00:23:51is also barely visible.
00:23:53Buy a new shiny plate.
00:23:55Make sure the number is big and visible.
00:23:57This will help not only your guests
00:23:59to find your house faster,
00:24:01but you will also avoid
00:24:03that the authorities miss your house
00:24:05next time.
00:24:07While you are there,
00:24:09make sure that the number of the mailbox
00:24:11is also clearly visible.
00:24:13Another good way to protect your house
00:24:15is to use a chain or metal lock.
00:24:17Fix it with concrete
00:24:19so that burglars can not lift it.
00:24:21If you are not embarrassed
00:24:23by the aesthetic and aggressive look,
00:24:25you can even try a lock
00:24:27to make you look good.
00:24:29Then add lighting in your yard
00:24:31because if it is dark,
00:24:33it will be a perfect target
00:24:35for unwanted visitors.
00:24:37Keep a few lights outside
00:24:39that you can turn on and off.
00:24:41A well-lit yard will allow you
00:24:43to call someone,
00:24:45as well as the police if necessary.
00:24:47A hand-held camera is an additional option.
00:24:49It is usually off during the day
00:24:51and works with a motion detector.
00:24:53It is very clear
00:24:55and turns on when it detects a movement.
00:24:57You can even find one
00:24:59that starts recording immediately.
00:25:01So not only will you scare the burglars,
00:25:03but you will also have video proof
00:25:05in case something happens.
00:25:07Another solution is
00:25:09the video doorbell.
00:25:11If someone rings the doorbell,
00:25:13you can film him without being at home.
00:25:15As your phone is connected to the doorbell,
00:25:17you just have to answer the call
00:25:19wherever you are.
00:25:21If it is someone you do not know
00:25:23and you feel something creepy,
00:25:25you can pretend to be at home
00:25:27and let him know that you are not interested.
00:25:29Thick shrubs in your yard
00:25:31will give the burglar a perfect place
00:25:33to hide and you may not even notice
00:25:35that there is an intruder.
00:25:37Keep shrubs cut close.
00:25:39It will give your yard a more beautiful
00:25:41and well-kept look.
00:25:43When you are on vacation,
00:25:45avoid posting your whereabouts
00:25:47on social media.
00:25:49Let's say that someone has been
00:25:51at your house in his line of sight
00:25:53for a while already.
00:25:55Your announced absence
00:25:57will be the perfect opportunity
00:25:59to strike.
00:26:01Do not post the beautiful photos
00:26:03you took of your trip abroad,
00:26:05but think a little about your safety.
00:26:07Follow your daily schedule
00:26:09and plan an assault when you are
00:26:11at the supermarket, for example.
00:26:13It may seem obvious,
00:26:15but always lock your house
00:26:17when you leave, even if you plan
00:26:19to live in a safe neighborhood.
00:26:21And if you just moved into a new house,
00:26:23also change your locks.
00:26:25This is also valid for apartments
00:26:27or even if you just rent a room.
00:26:29We are never too careful.
00:26:31Always give the impression that someone
00:26:33is inside the house,
00:26:35but the best way to do it
00:26:37is to leave the TV on
00:26:39or, even better,
00:26:41to buy a TV simulator.
00:26:43In this way, you can program it
00:26:45so that it turns on and off at your will.
00:26:47I mean, it would be weird
00:26:49if it was constantly on.
00:26:51This will also save you a few euros
00:26:53because the simulators consume
00:26:55less than the real devices.
00:26:57Also buy a programmable clock
00:26:59and connect a lamp.
00:27:01Set the timer
00:27:03You can also buy another one
00:27:05to plug in a radio.
00:27:07If people think you're listening to music,
00:27:09they probably won't try to do anything at home.
00:27:11Don't forget the valuables
00:27:13that are outside,
00:27:15like your barbecue, your bikes and your equipment.
00:27:17Put them in your garage
00:27:19and lock it well.
00:27:21Security cameras outside your house
00:27:23will allow you to keep an eye on everything,
00:27:25even when you're at work.
00:27:27This option is particularly useful
00:27:29if you are afraid that someone
00:27:31will try to break your door,
00:27:33even if it is relatively new.
00:27:35Instead of breaking in,
00:27:37they could try to break the door
00:27:39if they want to break in at all costs.
00:27:41Buy a stronger door
00:27:43that won't fall easily.
00:27:45It's also good for windows.
00:27:47It's worth investing in a type of glass
00:27:49that won't break if a stone hits it.
00:27:51Or use a safety film.
00:27:53It's a transparent, resistant plastic
00:27:55that you put on your windows
00:27:57to reinforce them.
00:27:59This film will keep the glass shatters in place.
00:28:01It will slow down the intrusion considerably
00:28:03and they may even
00:28:05completely give up the case.
00:28:07The amount of mail you receive
00:28:09also allows people to know
00:28:11if you are at home or not.
00:28:13If there is a huge pile of letters,
00:28:15it is clear that you have not checked your mail
00:28:17for at least two days.
00:28:19So even if your house was not a target,
00:28:21it could be now.
00:28:23Get to know your neighbors,
00:28:25invite them to come for a cup of tea
00:28:27and tell them about your worries.
00:28:29You will watch their backs
00:28:31and they will watch yours.
00:28:33And if someone suspicious arrives,
00:28:35they will let you know.
00:28:37You can even ask them for a favor or two
00:28:39while you are on vacation.
00:28:41Ask them to park one of their cars
00:28:43in your alley to make them believe
00:28:45that there is someone at home.
00:28:47While you are there,
00:28:49give him the key to your mailbox
00:28:51and ask him to take your mail for you.
00:28:53You will give them the device
00:28:55What would you do to get in?
00:28:57Is there a tree you can climb
00:28:59to reach the second floor?
00:29:01Or maybe it's just too easy
00:29:03to climb on the pile of metal you have there?
00:29:05It is worth getting rid of both,
00:29:07keeping the upper floors difficult to reach
00:29:09and so no one will be tempted
00:29:11to break the windows from above
00:29:13and try to get in like that.
00:29:15If you have a slot for the mail in your front door,
00:29:17be careful not to facilitate
00:29:19the access of your house to an intruder.
00:29:21Because a burglar
00:29:23can enter a slot in the mailbox
00:29:25and look for keys or even try
00:29:27to unlock the door.
00:29:29So buy a box of letters.
00:29:31This way, if they try to do it,
00:29:33they won't go very far.
00:29:35Value items inside the house
00:29:37are another important subject.
00:29:39Keep them out of sight as much as possible.
00:29:41The safest thing you can do
00:29:43is to equip yourself with a safe.
00:29:45But if you don't, you can get
00:29:47items of theirs in case the burglars
00:29:49enter your house.
00:29:51If you put your gold next to your bedside table,
00:29:53they will think they got a big shot
00:29:55when in fact they will
00:29:57go home empty-handed.
00:29:59If you have always wanted to have a pet,
00:30:01it's time to buy a dog.
00:30:03Make sure he has a comfortable place to sleep
00:30:05outside and to thank you,
00:30:07he will protect your house.
00:30:09As soon as he hears someone set foot
00:30:11in the garden or the yard,
00:30:13he will warn you by barking.
00:30:15In addition, he will wake up the whole neighborhood,
00:30:17which will draw even more attention
00:30:19Last tip, never display a calendar
00:30:21otherwise it will be useless.
00:30:23Let's imagine a burglar
00:30:25comes from the back
00:30:27and simply looks out the window.
00:30:29If he spots a calendar with the exact date
00:30:31of your absence,
00:30:33none of these tricks will work
00:30:35because they will know exactly your schedule
00:30:37and won't let themselves be fooled.
00:30:39And last resort, you can get yourself
00:30:41a panic button and keep it next to you
00:30:43when you sleep.
00:30:45You can program it to call the authorities
00:30:47by pressing a button.
00:30:49Thus, you will warn them that your house
00:30:51is being burgled.
00:30:53If a stranger asks you to take a picture
00:30:55and gives you a phone,
00:30:57don't accept too quickly.
00:30:59Observe him first.
00:31:01If he looks suspicious or unpleasant,
00:31:03it is better to kindly refuse the request.
00:31:05It may be a scam.
00:31:07He gives you the phone,
00:31:09you turn on the camera and you see that it is broken.
00:31:11The image of the photo is damaged.
00:31:13You give the phone to the stranger
00:31:15and he blames you for breaking it.
00:31:17He asks you for money and behaves aggressively.
00:31:19In such a situation,
00:31:21it is better not to panic
00:31:23and not to let yourself be provoked.
00:31:25Get away calmly and make him understand
00:31:27that you won't let him do it.
00:31:29And if his aggressiveness exceeds the limits,
00:31:31then call the police.
00:31:33You walk down the street and a man in dirty clothes
00:31:35comes to you.
00:31:37He claims to be homeless and behaves as if he was in a hurry.
00:31:39He shows you a strange room
00:31:41and says he found it in the basement of an old house.
00:31:43He adds that the room is a very rare specimen
00:31:45and that it is worth thousands of euros.
00:31:47You take a picture of the room
00:31:49to find information about it on the Internet.
00:31:51And it turns out to be true.
00:31:53The room is expensive.
00:31:55The homeless person cannot sell it for such a sum
00:31:57because no one will believe him.
00:31:59He offers to sell it to you for a few hundred euros.
00:32:01The offer seems profitable,
00:32:03but it is a scam.
00:32:05The stranger actually offers you
00:32:07a fake room that is not worth more than 2 euros.
00:32:09He claims to be a poor homeless person
00:32:11so that his story seems credible.
00:32:13He refuses the offer
00:32:15and calls the police.
00:32:17This man can also scam other people.
00:32:19The robbers can place an advertising brochure,
00:32:21a newspaper or a sticker
00:32:23on the door of your house or apartment.
00:32:25In the frame of the door,
00:32:27you can find a piece of paper
00:32:29or a thin strip from a plastic bottle.
00:32:31If you do not remove the object for a long time,
00:32:33the robbers will understand
00:32:35that you are not at home.
00:32:37In this way, they mark the houses and apartments
00:32:39in which they can enter.
00:32:41After all, entering an empty apartment
00:32:43is much safer.
00:32:45So, as soon as you see a strange object,
00:32:47get rid of it immediately.
00:32:49If a brochure or a sticker
00:32:51remains hung on the door for 1 or 2 days,
00:32:53it tells the robbers that there is no one at home.
00:32:55Of course, it can be
00:32:57real advertising flyers,
00:32:59but you still do not need them.
00:33:01In addition to brochures,
00:33:03there can be strange marks
00:33:05on the door of the house or apartment.
00:33:07This is how the robbers
00:33:09mark the houses they are about to rob.
00:33:11If you see such a sign,
00:33:13it is preferable to call the police.
00:33:15You approach your car
00:33:17and you see a shirt or a piece of fabric
00:33:19wrapped around the windshield.
00:33:21At this point, do not try to remove it.
00:33:23Get in the car,
00:33:25look around you
00:33:27and get away from this place.
00:33:29Then, when you have changed places,
00:33:31you can remove the fabric safely.
00:33:33The fact is that the robbers
00:33:35attach the fabric to the windshield
00:33:37on purpose and as tightly as possible.
00:33:39While you try to remove it,
00:33:41they can get in your car and leave
00:33:43or even jump on you from behind.
00:33:45You arrive at the supermarket,
00:33:47you stop in the parking lot and you get out of the car.
00:33:49At this point, another high-end car
00:33:51stops nearby.
00:33:53A man who looks rich and healthy
00:33:55comes out and asks you for money for gas.
00:33:57He says his phone is out of battery,
00:33:59that he forgot his wallet at home
00:34:01and that he needs to fill his tank urgently.
00:34:03He promises to send you back the money
00:34:05as soon as he has used his phone.
00:34:07Don't give him any money,
00:34:09he's a crook.
00:34:11You might think he really needs help
00:34:13and that he will certainly return this money
00:34:15because he looks like an honest and decent person.
00:34:17But it is very likely that his car is rented
00:34:19and that his clothes are cheap.
00:34:21During the day, he drives around the city
00:34:23and asks to borrow money for gas
00:34:25from different drivers
00:34:27based on their sympathy.
00:34:29At the end of the day,
00:34:31he looks like a decent man
00:34:33and obviously doesn't give it back.
00:34:35You walk down the street
00:34:37and you see a beautiful phone on the ground.
00:34:39Don't pick it up,
00:34:41it's stuck to the asphalt.
00:34:43You won't be able to pick it up at first.
00:34:45While you're trying to take the object off the ground,
00:34:47the crook will run to you
00:34:49and steal your bag.
00:34:51This scam works like a mousetrap.
00:34:53In movies, we often see thieves
00:34:55giving a treat to the dog
00:34:57to make it friendly during a robbery
00:34:59but in reality, things are not as innocent.
00:35:01Thieves can make your dog disappear
00:35:03to make the robbery easier.
00:35:05Of course, if your dog has disappeared,
00:35:07it doesn't always mean
00:35:09that someone is trying to rob you.
00:35:11However, if this happens,
00:35:13you must be on your guard.
00:35:15Scammers and robbers
00:35:17spend a lot of time on social networks.
00:35:19Don't rush to post pictures
00:35:21of your holidays in another country.
00:35:23When you do this, you shout to the whole world
00:35:25to look how far I am from home.
00:35:27It's better to post your pictures
00:35:29only once you're back.
00:35:31There are also cases
00:35:33where robbers collaborated with computer pirates.
00:35:35They had access to their target's social networks
00:35:37to find out when they were going on vacation.
00:35:39Then, they passed the information
00:35:41on to the robber.
00:35:43You get home from work by car
00:35:45and you suddenly notice that you have almost no gas.
00:35:47It's weird because you recently filled up.
00:35:49You go to the gas station
00:35:51or to a garage to check
00:35:53if there is a leak in the car.
00:35:55During this time,
00:35:57the robbers can rob your house.
00:35:59They deliberately emptied the tank
00:36:01of your car so that you go to the gas station.
00:36:03This way, they gain time to empty your drawers.
00:36:05If you are sure that you have recently filled up
00:36:07and that the gas has been emptied,
00:36:09call your neighbors and ask them
00:36:11to watch your house or your apartment.
00:36:15If you regularly call cleaning services
00:36:17for your house,
00:36:19you must be alerted in case
00:36:21a new employee appears.
00:36:23If this has not happened,
00:36:25check by yourself.
00:36:27Call and find out
00:36:29about the new employee.
00:36:31If they have no information
00:36:33about him,
00:36:35it is probably a robber
00:36:37who is trying to enter your house
00:36:39to find your valuables.
00:36:41Call the police and don't let the employee
00:36:43enter your house.
00:36:45The robber can also pretend to be a plumber,
00:36:47a doctor or a social worker.
00:36:49Ask them to show you the necessary documents
00:36:51and let them enter your house.
00:36:53They can be kind and helpful,
00:36:55but while you talk to them,
00:36:57they observe your house.
00:36:59Do not throw sensitive documents in the trash.
00:37:01Robbers can check the trash
00:37:03to find receipts, certificates
00:37:05or invoices.
00:37:07This means nothing to you,
00:37:09but a robber can get information
00:37:11about your ID, income and insurance.
00:37:13Always throw away the documents
00:37:15you throw away.
00:37:17There are many fraudulent ways
00:37:19to throw away your valuables.
00:37:21Here are some other tips
00:37:23to reduce the risk of theft.
00:37:25Do not leave the cardboard box
00:37:27of a new TV, a phone,
00:37:29an expensive laptop
00:37:31or a gold watch in the trash.
00:37:33It is not necessary to show
00:37:35your level of wealth.
00:37:37Otherwise, you can also cover
00:37:39these packages with plastic bags
00:37:41so that the robbers do not see them.
00:37:43If you live in a private house
00:37:45and trees grow next to it,
00:37:47a robber can easily use
00:37:49a tree as a ladder.
00:37:51In addition, robbers try to avoid
00:37:53houses where plants and flowers
00:37:55grow under the windows,
00:37:57especially if they are roses
00:37:59with thorns or cacti.
00:38:01You can put a sign
00:38:03Beware, bad dog on the door.
00:38:05Even if you do not have a pet,
00:38:07no one will want to go inside.
00:38:09You can even fix a fake surveillance camera.
00:38:11This will also make the robbers flee.
00:38:13To avoid a robbery,
00:38:15you can set up a television
00:38:17that always has someone at home,
00:38:19even if you went on vacation.
00:38:21No need to leave the television
00:38:23or music on.
00:38:25You can set up a special timer
00:38:27that will turn on the TV
00:38:29for a certain period of time every day.
00:38:31There are also special bulbs
00:38:33with a timer.
00:38:35Program their lighting at home
00:38:37every evening and every night
00:38:39for 20 to 30 minutes
00:38:41during your absence.
00:38:43When you go on vacation
00:38:45for a certain time,
00:38:47ask a neighbor to take out your mail.
00:38:49You can also go to the post office
00:38:51and ask not to distribute the mail
00:38:53in your mailbox before your return.
00:38:55Let's describe the codes of the robbers.
00:38:57Adhesive tape on the door handle,
00:38:59a slice of cheese on the hood of the car
00:39:01and much more can be a sign
00:39:03that you are the target of a thief.
00:39:07Robbers do not randomly choose
00:39:09a house to rob.
00:39:11You can watch the house
00:39:13before taking action
00:39:15to find out more about its security.
00:39:17They leave marks on the house,
00:39:19the garage door, the mailbox
00:39:21or the garden shelter.
00:39:23Learn to know these marks
00:39:25and know what they symbolize
00:39:27and you will be able to better
00:39:29protect your house from robbers.
00:39:31If you see a drawn circle,
00:39:33it means that in the eyes of the robbers
00:39:35your house is a target of choice.
00:39:37It may not be equipped
00:39:39with high-tech alarms,
00:39:41video surveillance cameras
00:39:43or protected by a dog.
00:39:45Scales-shaped lines
00:39:47mean that valuable objects
00:39:49are visible in the house
00:39:51and that they are worth stealing.
00:39:53If the letter M is drawn on the trash,
00:39:55it means that the house is empty in the morning,
00:39:57while the letter N means
00:39:59that it is empty at night.
00:40:01The police have issued warnings
00:40:03about this code,
00:40:05but remember that some of these signs
00:40:07are used by robbers to communicate
00:40:09about sewage, for example.
00:40:11If you see marks of a keystroke,
00:40:13do not enter the house.
00:40:15The keystroke is a technique
00:40:17used by robbers
00:40:19using a similar key made
00:40:21of a heavier metal
00:40:23to line the pins inside the lock.
00:40:25In addition, victims can encounter problems
00:40:27when they resort to their insurance
00:40:29in such cases,
00:40:31because this technique
00:40:33can leave no sign of fracture
00:40:35but you can not prove it to the insurance company.
00:40:37Nightmare!
00:40:39The keystroke is another technique,
00:40:41but it leaves marks on the door handle,
00:40:43like slight scratches
00:40:45around the lock.
00:40:47However, the real signs
00:40:49will be inside the lock,
00:40:51on the pins that will have indentations.
00:40:53Scratches or important marks
00:40:55on your door handle
00:40:57can also indicate that someone has entered your home.
00:40:59Robbers sometimes use screwdrivers
00:41:01to break the pins of the lock.
00:41:03Deep scratches, marks,
00:41:05or a widening of the lock hole,
00:41:07be careful when you enter.
00:41:09Robbers can also stick
00:41:11an adhesive tape,
00:41:13usually transparent,
00:41:15on the door handle.
00:41:17Let's suppose the tape is still there
00:41:19one day or two later.
00:41:21The robbers then think
00:41:23that the owner is absent
00:41:25since the door has not been used.
00:41:27This technique has become
00:41:29alarming in Dublin.
00:41:31These marks are left by the dog thieves
00:41:33who report that your home
00:41:35is home to a stray dog.
00:41:37The red marks are for big dogs,
00:41:39while the yellow and pink marks
00:41:41are for small and medium-sized dogs.
00:41:43The police advise dog owners
00:41:45to inspect their homes
00:41:47and report any signs of this kind to the police.
00:41:51Finally, they must be very careful
00:41:53when walking their pets.
00:41:55One of the keys,
00:41:57without its bad pun,
00:41:59is to have a good security system
00:42:01and to know its goods.
00:42:03For example, if the locks of your front door
00:42:05are always reactive but work slowly,
00:42:07this can be a sign of a robbery attempt.
00:42:09This can be due to the technique
00:42:11called the vulnerability method.
00:42:13Robbers weaken the lock of the door
00:42:15over time.
00:42:17They use tools or objects
00:42:19to deteriorate the lock without leaving a trace.
00:42:21You may think that your lock is old
00:42:23and simply report the call
00:42:25to a locksmith,
00:42:27but this is not the case.
00:42:29The key can also turn inside the lock
00:42:31with delay.
00:42:33If it is more difficult to turn inside,
00:42:35it is usually the first sign
00:42:37of a robbery attempt
00:42:39and the most important warning sign to take into account.
00:42:43Even the locks of armored doors
00:42:45are subject to robberies.
00:42:49Did you know that in Churchill, Canada,
00:42:51residents do not lock the doors of their cars?
00:42:53They do not do this to make it easier
00:42:55for the robbers but to survive
00:42:57a potential attack of polar bears.
00:42:59The city has the largest number of polar bears in the world.
00:43:01Imagine that a resident
00:43:03is confronted with a polar bear
00:43:05and that a car is nearby.
00:43:07He will be able to quickly hide inside this car
00:43:09even if it is not his.
00:43:11And if you learned some safety tips
00:43:13to avoid the theft of handbags?
00:43:15First of all, do not carry your handbag on your shoulder.
00:43:17Of course, the bag is designed this way,
00:43:19but this can allow the robber
00:43:21to grab it more easily.
00:43:23For example, wearing a small handbag
00:43:25like a pocket under your arm is safer.
00:43:29Doing your shopping with someone
00:43:31is safer than doing it alone.
00:43:33Shopping days and in general
00:43:35do not carry more money than necessary
00:43:37or all your credit cards in the same bag.
00:43:39Keep only what you need for the day,
00:43:41even for a short period of time.
00:43:43Do not leave your handbag
00:43:45in the drawer or on the cash register.
00:43:49Now let's talk about scams.
00:43:51If you think you can't be scammed,
00:43:53you are more likely to get scammed.
00:43:55Scams target everyone,
00:43:57regardless of their background, age and income.
00:43:59They can take you by surprise
00:44:01when you do not expect it.
00:44:03Scams use new technologies,
00:44:05products or even services
00:44:07to arouse your curiosity
00:44:09after you give them your money
00:44:11or your personal data.
00:44:13How to be safe from scams?
00:44:15First of all, keep in mind
00:44:17that if it looks too good to be true,
00:44:19it is a scam,
00:44:21even if it mentions a well-known company.
00:44:23Scams will often ask you
00:44:25to turn on your computer
00:44:27to solve a problem
00:44:29or install a free update.
00:44:31It is actually a virus
00:44:33to get your passwords
00:44:35and personal data.
00:44:37Finally, pay attention
00:44:39to unusual payment requests.
00:44:41Scams will often ask you
00:44:43to use an unusual payment method
00:44:45such as a pre-charged debit card,
00:44:47a card jacking and a slice of cheese.
00:44:49Imagine that you are driving
00:44:51and you see melted cheese
00:44:53on the engine cap.
00:44:55You will first think
00:44:57that it is a bad joke.
00:44:59So you start cleaning the cheese.
00:45:01Of course, it takes time
00:45:03under the scorching sun.
00:45:05But pay attention
00:45:07to your environment.
00:45:09Someone could be watching you
00:45:11from a distance
00:45:13and waiting for the right moment.
00:45:15Did you know
00:45:17that you could have an additional key
00:45:19in your car?
00:45:21Some cars have emergency keys
00:45:23hidden in the manual
00:45:25or in the toolbox of the trunk.
00:45:27If your car has this spare key,
00:45:29take it out immediately.
00:45:31If you know where it is,
00:45:33the thieves will know it too.
00:45:35In addition, do not think
00:45:37that you have the perfect hiding place
00:45:39for your spare keys.
00:45:41Car thieves know where to look.
00:45:43They regularly check these places.
00:45:45When it comes to car theft,
00:45:47it may be time to talk
00:45:49about the thieves' habits and strategies.
00:45:51They do not choose
00:45:53open and visible places
00:45:55like the alleys in front of houses.
00:45:57Dark and isolated places
00:45:59like the back of a building,
00:46:01car shelters and underground parking
00:46:03are their favorite places
00:46:05because they are much quieter
00:46:07and they can hear you if someone arrives.
00:46:09Have you ever heard of
00:46:11the vehicle identification number,
00:46:13alias NIV?
00:46:15It is a unique number for each existing car.
00:46:17You can engrave the NIV
00:46:19on the windows of your car.
00:46:21This makes your car less interesting
00:46:23on the black market for its spare parts.
00:46:25In addition, changing the windows
00:46:27is quite expensive,
00:46:29so car thieves try to avoid these cars.
00:46:31To conclude, let's just say
00:46:33that it is better to avoid
00:46:35being an easy and inviting target.
00:46:37Do you have any stories
00:46:39that you would like to share with us?
00:46:43Do you want to see something disgusting?
00:46:45You will be served.
00:46:49Imagine yourself in your house
00:46:51cleaning in the spring
00:46:53whistling in a happy air
00:46:55when you hear a slight buzz.
00:46:57You stretch your ear
00:46:59and the noise starts again.
00:47:01Behind the wall of your kitchen,
00:47:03you approach and see a brown stain
00:47:05on the wall that was not there yesterday.
00:47:07You touch it
00:47:09and horror!
00:47:11The stain sinks under your finger
00:47:13and a swarm of wasps
00:47:15comes out of the hole,
00:47:17swarming with anger.
00:47:19You start running in all directions
00:47:21and the wasps chase you outside.
00:47:23When you are far enough,
00:47:25the swarm of wasps returns inside.
00:47:27It looks like it's their house now
00:47:29and no longer yours.
00:47:31You might think it's a movie,
00:47:33but wasps often build their nests
00:47:35in houses, especially wooden ones.
00:47:37They prefer closed and dark spaces
00:47:39and can therefore settle
00:47:41in the hollow of a tree,
00:47:43in a compost box,
00:47:45in a hangar or in a attic.
00:47:47The worst is that you will not notice
00:47:49anything until it is too late.
00:47:51In spring, the future queens of wasps
00:47:53migrate to find a suitable place
00:47:55to lay their eggs.
00:47:57If one of them likes your house,
00:47:59it will sneak discreetly
00:48:01into a small dark and comfortable corner
00:48:03and settle there.
00:48:05In about a week,
00:48:07the first baby wasps will be born
00:48:09and if the space is too small,
00:48:11they will tidy up the wood
00:48:13to make more space for their colony.
00:48:15It can take a few years
00:48:17before you notice the signs of invasion.
00:48:19It is thought that wasps
00:48:21return to the same place every year
00:48:23because they leave pheromones behind.
00:48:25A colony can thus grow
00:48:27from year to year.
00:48:29Wasps will nibble the wood
00:48:31to settle more comfortably
00:48:33and you may hear their burping
00:48:35while they work.
00:48:37If you hear strange noises
00:48:39behind your walls,
00:48:41quickly call the fight service
00:48:43against the invisible
00:48:45because it means that the colony
00:48:47is already important enough
00:48:49to cause you problems.
00:48:51In the worst case,
00:48:53the entrails of your house
00:48:55could be covered with wasps.
00:48:57The last sign of invasion
00:48:59is the presence of wasps
00:49:01on your doors.
00:49:03This means that the wasps
00:49:05are already there
00:49:07and they are about to enter your life.
00:49:09They can easily tidy up
00:49:11the dry doors
00:49:13and you may meet them
00:49:15in the middle of the night
00:49:17or during dinner.
00:49:19Wasps are probably
00:49:21the worst pests
00:49:23because not only
00:49:25they deteriorate your house
00:49:27they will consider you
00:49:29ironically as an intruder
00:49:31and they will attack you.
00:49:33Wasp bites are not easy
00:49:35especially if you are allergic.
00:49:37Many species of wasps
00:49:39can settle in houses
00:49:41but the most vicious are
00:49:43the yellow wasps.
00:49:45They have a body full of
00:49:47bright yellow and black.
00:49:49They are bigger than the other wasps
00:49:51and their bite is much more unpleasant.
00:49:53Add to this a natural aggressiveness
00:49:55and a flying instinct
00:49:57with which no one wants to cohabit.
00:49:59If you notice one of these signs
00:50:01of wasp invasion
00:50:03don't try anything by yourself
00:50:05and call professionals.
00:50:07Using powerful chemical products
00:50:09like pesticides is not safe at all
00:50:11and you may hurt yourself
00:50:13if you don't know what you are doing.
00:50:15You need some skills
00:50:17to effectively get rid of
00:50:19all the parasites in your house
00:50:21and if you forget only a few wasps
00:50:23especially the queen,
00:50:25your efforts will be in vain.
00:50:27So let the experts take care of it.
00:50:29Other more discreet insects
00:50:31that you would not want to house
00:50:33are the xylophages.
00:50:35There are dozens of species
00:50:37of which some are not more dangerous
00:50:39than that, while others
00:50:41can be outright destructive.
00:50:43The xylophages owe their name
00:50:45to the fact that they eat wood
00:50:47and make holes in it.
00:50:49When they are ready to lay their eggs
00:50:51they settle down.
00:50:53When they hatch,
00:50:55the larvae are hungry
00:50:57so they start to nibble the wood
00:50:59around them.
00:51:01They eat 24 hours a day,
00:51:037 days out of 7
00:51:05and only stop when they mature
00:51:07and are ready to explore
00:51:09the outside world.
00:51:11They then leave small holes
00:51:13behind them.
00:51:15The danger is that,
00:51:17unlike wasps,
00:51:19the first sign of their presence
00:51:21that you are likely to notice
00:51:23is their exit holes,
00:51:25which means that they have already
00:51:27done damage inside the wood.
00:51:29While most xylophages
00:51:31will not hurt your house,
00:51:33except for these exit holes,
00:51:35some of them can represent
00:51:37a real problem.
00:51:39For example, the house capricorn
00:51:41can do big damage in a house
00:51:43if it decides to lay its eggs there.
00:51:45Although these insects like to feed on young wood,
00:51:47which is more likely in recent houses,
00:51:49they can also make their nest
00:51:51in old houses,
00:51:53and since this insect can measure
00:51:55up to 2 cm,
00:51:57the exit holes they leave are quite large.
00:51:59Other species,
00:52:01such as the Calimaderus incisus
00:52:03from Queensland,
00:52:05native to Australia,
00:52:07litter the old houses
00:52:09until their structures are destroyed.
00:52:11If you are invaded by these insects,
00:52:13the best thing to do
00:52:15The only good news with the xylophages
00:52:17is that they do not attack humans.
00:52:19You already know that.
00:52:21Other insects will not eat you
00:52:23or your house,
00:52:25but having them at home is just as unpleasant
00:52:27and dangerous.
00:52:29You know them well,
00:52:31they are cockroaches.
00:52:33If you meet one at home during the day,
00:52:35I have bad news.
00:52:37There are already dozens,
00:52:39or even hundreds crawling in a corner.
00:52:41Cockroaches are nocturnal creatures
00:52:43and seeing one or two in your kitchen
00:52:45in the middle of the night is not very serious.
00:52:47But if they show up in broad daylight,
00:52:49this means that some members
00:52:51of their colony are desperate.
00:52:53And it is better to quickly call
00:52:55a fight service against the nocturnal.
00:52:57Cockroaches like to live
00:52:59in places where there is
00:53:01food, humidity,
00:53:03and where they can hide.
00:53:05This is the perfect description
00:53:07of an old house.
00:53:09There is enough space for cockroaches
00:53:11in all discretion
00:53:13and humans provide them with all the water
00:53:15and food they need.
00:53:17Their favorite foods are meat,
00:53:19lentils and sweets,
00:53:21but they will not hesitate to search
00:53:23in your trash or in your pantry.
00:53:25Cockroaches do not dig walls or furniture,
00:53:27so on this side,
00:53:29they are rather harmless.
00:53:31But they are known to carry many pathogens.
00:53:33If a cockroach visits your sweet shop,
00:53:35for example, and you then put
00:53:37the same sugar in your tea,
00:53:39it can spread the virus.
00:53:41And the more cockroaches there are in your house,
00:53:43the higher the risk.
00:53:47It is not difficult to recognize
00:53:49an invasion of cockroaches.
00:53:51The first sign you should pay attention to
00:53:53is the smell.
00:53:55Cockroaches emit odorous substances
00:53:57in the air that leave in the house
00:53:59an oily smell of mold.
00:54:01The stronger the smell,
00:54:03the more harmful it is.
00:54:05So do not hesitate to call a specialist,
00:54:07especially if you have never seen a single cockroach.
00:54:09A much more significant symptom
00:54:11of their presence is the discovery
00:54:13of cockroach mold.
00:54:15They have a shaggy shell
00:54:17that they replace as they grow.
00:54:19So if you find one,
00:54:21it means there is a family of cockroaches
00:54:23somewhere in your house,
00:54:25if not an entire colony.
00:54:27But nothing is more convincing
00:54:29than to see a living cockroach
00:54:31with your own eyes, isn't it?
00:54:33If you see a big one,
00:54:35cockroaches tend to move
00:54:37in search of the best place to live.
00:54:39So if you see an adult cockroach
00:54:41in your house in the middle of the night,
00:54:43it may be that it has not yet
00:54:45founded its own family.
00:54:47But if when you enter your kitchen
00:54:49you see one or more little cockroaches,
00:54:51it is not a good sign.
00:54:53Because it means that their parents are close
00:54:55with their brothers and sisters.
00:54:57Besides, although the kitchen is by far
00:54:59the most fruitful place for these animals,
00:55:01you can also see them in your bathroom
00:55:03when you take your shower.
00:55:07Cockroaches like to nibble on the soap.
00:55:09So it is not surprising
00:55:11that they like to hide in this warm and humid room.
00:55:13Well, I find it all
00:55:15disgusting enough and on this,
00:55:17I wish you a good day.

01:06:49This may seem like a gadget,
01:06:51but here's a good thing.
01:06:53When thieves sell a stolen car,
01:06:55they change the vehicle's ID number.
01:06:57This allows them to hide a stolen car
01:06:59and use another ID number
01:07:01from a similar car.
01:07:03But if, on the contrary, you engrave
01:07:05your ID number on each window of your car,
01:07:07thieves will immediately see that your car
01:07:09is well protected.
01:07:11In addition, such a vehicle will seem complicated to them.
01:07:13After all,
01:07:15they will have to change the vehicle's ID number
01:07:17and find a way to modify the windows
01:07:19on which the vehicle's ID number is engraved.
01:07:21They will probably have to
01:07:23completely change the windows,
01:07:25which is very expensive.
01:07:27The resale of such a car would therefore
01:07:29take too long for the thieves.
01:07:31And they are not ready to make so much effort.
01:07:33These people don't even want to work.
01:07:35They are far too lazy
01:07:37to take care of this window story.
01:07:39By the way, some specialists
01:07:41can do this engraving work for you,
01:07:43which prevents you from having to do it yourself.
01:07:47In addition, if you want to buy a used car,
01:07:49the car's ID number
01:07:51can be very useful.
01:07:53Some cars are in a way cloned,
01:07:55which means that their ID number is not real
01:07:57but has simply been added manually to the plate.
01:07:59Therefore, check all documents
01:08:01before buying a used car.
01:08:03Pay special attention to the document
01:08:05called DVLA V5
01:08:07and make sure that the ID number
01:08:09that appears there matches the vehicle's ID number.
01:08:11Here is another
01:08:13protective device.
01:08:15This device is called
01:08:17Smart Car Alarm
01:08:19and the sound it produces
01:08:21is even more unpleasant
01:08:23than that of an alarm clock.
01:08:25It can perform the following functions.
01:08:27First, it emits a very loud noise
01:08:29that can scare off intruders
01:08:31and alert passers-by.
01:08:33Secondly, it can send you a warning message
01:08:35in case you haven't heard
01:08:37the deafening honk it emits.
01:08:39Another secret mechanism
01:08:41that can protect your car.
01:08:43You can use this device
01:08:45to drive on fuel and so on.
01:08:47When you get out of the car,
01:08:49you just have to press a button.
01:08:51Even if intruders steal your keys
01:08:53in some way or another,
01:08:55it will be of no use to them.
01:08:57They must first find this switch
01:08:59to start the car
01:09:01and it's up to you to decide
01:09:03where you're going to hide it.
01:09:05We all know that the safer our car is,
01:09:07the better.
01:09:09Criminals don't like
01:09:11to see their cars stolen in recent years.
01:09:13However, modern
01:09:15doesn't mean safe.
01:09:17Many recent models
01:09:19have onboard diagnostic OBD ports
01:09:21for engine management.
01:09:23It seems very practical,
01:09:25but there's a drawback.
01:09:27These ports can help you unlock
01:09:29and even start the car.
01:09:31Therefore, if your car is equipped
01:09:33with such a device,
01:09:35think about getting yourself
01:09:37a lockable cover.
01:09:39The slightest interference
01:09:41is enough to open the door
01:09:43and steal the car.
01:09:45Yes, don't tell me it's obvious.
01:09:47However, I see cars every day
01:09:49whose windows are open.
01:09:51If a thief really wants it,
01:09:53he can simply break a window
01:09:55with a heavy object or even a rock.
01:09:57Do you see where I'm coming from?
01:09:59Try not to make the thief want
01:10:01to open your car.
01:10:03This means that no valuables
01:10:05should be visible.
01:10:07Hide them in the trunk
01:10:09or take them with you.
01:10:11There are plenty of options.
01:10:13Don't show the thief
01:10:15that there is something
01:10:17they can steal from you.
01:10:19Keeping a pair of keys
01:10:21in the glove box
01:10:23is not the best idea either.
01:10:25Thieves know where to look for it.
01:10:27It's very simple.
01:10:29After opening the door,
01:10:31they just need to look
01:10:33in the glove box
01:10:35to find your valuables
01:10:37and a pair of keys.
01:10:39It's up to you.
01:10:41At least try to install
01:10:43a steering wheel anti-theft device.
01:10:45It's probably not very functional,
01:10:47but experts believe
01:10:49it's a visually effective
01:10:51deterrent.
01:10:53Do you remember that thieves
01:10:55are a bit lazy
01:10:57and don't like gadgets?
01:10:59Experts say that thieves
01:11:01are more inclined
01:11:03to use gadgets.
01:11:05So even if a thief
01:11:07wants to steal your car,
01:11:09he won't succeed
01:11:11because it's not easy
01:11:13to get rid of it.
01:11:15Here is the most obvious advice.
01:11:17It's video surveillance.
01:11:19There are a lot of cameras
01:11:21like this one.
01:11:23It has night vision modes,
01:11:25people detection functions
01:11:27and a very high resolution.
01:11:29A real camera can help you
01:11:31install a fake one
01:11:33hoping that thieves
01:11:35won't notice it.
01:11:37Let's imagine the worst.
01:11:39Someone ignored all the advice
01:11:41and got his car stolen.
01:11:43What should he do?
01:11:45First of all,
01:11:47he should give the police
01:11:49a lot of information.
01:11:51Make sure you know the color.
01:11:53I know, it seems easy,
01:11:55but don't use complicated terms
01:11:57to describe it.
01:11:59You should also know the year,
01:12:01brand and model.
01:12:03Make sure you remember
01:12:05all these elements.
01:12:07The police should also know
01:12:09the license plate number
01:12:11and car identification number.
01:12:13If you don't remember
01:12:15the identification number
01:12:17by heart,
01:12:19write it down on your phone
01:12:21just in case.
01:12:23You've just found
01:12:25your first white hair
01:12:27It's one of the most popular myths
01:12:29since the dawn of time.
01:12:31When you pluck a hair,
01:12:33the follicle stays where it was
01:12:35and produces a substitute
01:12:37quite quickly.
01:12:39But it can't multiply,
01:12:41so you'll only have
01:12:43one new white hair.
01:12:45This new hair
01:12:47could even be darker
01:12:49because the hair follicle
01:12:51could produce
01:12:53another pigment.
01:12:55You're afraid to use
01:12:57your cell phone at the gas station
01:12:59because it could cause an explosion?
01:13:01Well, there hasn't been
01:13:03a single documented case
01:13:05where a cell phone is discharged
01:13:07a charge of electricity
01:13:09and caused such a tragedy.
01:13:11All these signs,
01:13:13no cell phone in gas stations,
01:13:15are just a precaution.
01:13:17Electronic devices are not welcome
01:13:19because they could generate
01:13:21static electricity
01:13:23so be careful when driving.
01:13:25Chatting or texting
01:13:27while you're filling up
01:13:29could have serious consequences
01:13:31like leaving your tank
01:13:33with a gas pump.
01:13:35A viral video made
01:13:37millions believe
01:13:39that if you see a wire
01:13:41tied to your car door,
01:13:43you should immediately call the police.
01:13:45According to the author,
01:13:47kidnappers use this trick
01:13:49to distract you
01:13:51but there hasn't been a case
01:13:53of anyone being kidnapped
01:13:55in this way.
01:13:57This urban legend
01:13:59must come from a Facebook post
01:14:01from 2015
01:14:03which mentioned the wire
01:14:05and was demystified
01:14:07shortly after its release.
01:14:09However, the idea survived
01:14:11and continues to resurface
01:14:13from time to time.
01:14:15It is still wise
01:14:17to remain vigilant
01:14:19park in well-lit areas
01:14:21and always look around
01:14:23to spot suspicious things
01:14:25and people before getting in your car.
01:14:27Don't forget that many
01:14:29similar urban myths and legends
01:14:31are only created to draw your attention
01:14:33and get a few likes
01:14:35for the authors.
01:14:37If you add brown sugar to your coffee,
01:14:39convinced that it is healthier than the white option,
01:14:41this is probably not the best idea.
01:14:43Brown sugar
01:14:45does contain some minerals
01:14:47but the quantity is so small
01:14:49that it will have no impact on your health.
01:14:51Otherwise, it has the same amount of calories
01:14:53and the same nutritional value
01:14:55as white sugar.
01:14:57The only difference lies in the color,
01:14:59the flavor and the manufacturing process.
01:15:01Brown sugar is simply
01:15:03less treated.
01:15:05So if you try to reduce calories,
01:15:07the type of sugar you add
01:15:09to your food doesn't really matter.
01:15:11When you press the snooze button
01:15:13on your alarm clock,
01:15:15you will not really benefit
01:15:17from these 10 minutes of extra sleep.
01:15:19It's true that it feels good to push back
01:15:21the moment you get up,
01:15:23but this button will simply make you feel more tired
01:15:25instead of giving you
01:15:27extra rest.
01:15:29You have your own biological sleep cycle
01:15:31that adapts to your use of time.
01:15:33When you wake up and fall asleep instantly,
01:15:35your brain is confused.
01:15:37This is why you will have more and more trouble
01:15:39waking up when the alarm goes off
01:15:41for the second or even fifth time.
01:15:43In the long run, the snooze button
01:15:45can harm your ability to get
01:15:47a deep and quality sleep.
01:15:49Another popular myth about sleep
01:15:51is that you swallow up to
01:15:538 spiders every night without knowing it.
01:15:55Relax,
01:15:57you don't swallow any spiders at all.
01:15:59For them, you look like a giant
01:16:01or rather a mountain in the landscape.
01:16:03All the sounds you make during your sleep,
01:16:05like your breathing
01:16:07or your heartbeat,
01:16:09are super scary for them.
01:16:11All they want to do is stay
01:16:13as far away from you as possible.
01:16:15This myth spread all over the world
01:16:17after a magazine article
01:16:19mentioned that people easily believed
01:16:21everything they saw online.
01:16:23As if the article was right!
01:16:25It is not really necessary to
01:16:27float for 30 minutes or more
01:16:29to swim after eating.
01:16:31This myth has been around for over a century
01:16:33because it was a rule
01:16:35in the 1908 Scouts' Manual.
01:16:37It said that swimming less than 90 minutes
01:16:39after eating could have
01:16:41really bad consequences.
01:16:43It made many people believe that
01:16:45as digestion deflected the blood flow
01:16:47of the muscles to the stomach,
01:16:49swimming could block this blood flow,
01:16:51give you cramps and even make you drown.
01:16:53In reality,
01:16:55the extra blood goes well to the stomach
01:16:57but it does not affect your arms
01:16:59or your legs.
01:17:01Food could even be beneficial
01:17:03to your swimming session
01:17:05because it will provide you with an extra energy
01:17:07and you will have enough water
01:17:09to stay hydrated.
01:17:11Diamonds are super expensive
01:17:13because they are super rare, right?
01:17:15It turns out that they are not as rare
01:17:17as we think.
01:17:19Rubies, emeralds and sapphires
01:17:21are much rarer and much more expensive
01:17:23than diamonds.
01:17:25Scientists have even found a way
01:17:27to create artificial diamonds
01:17:29which makes their production
01:17:31rather easy.
01:17:33So this price that people are willing
01:17:35to pay for a diamond
01:17:37was a great success
01:17:39more than a century ago.
01:17:41The company that extracted and sold
01:17:43these diamonds spread the legend
01:17:45of these precious stones
01:17:47all over the world.
01:17:49They persuaded all consumers
01:17:51that diamonds were so rare
01:17:53that their price was actually
01:17:55quite reasonable.
01:17:57In addition, they made these stones
01:17:59a symbol of eternal love
01:18:01essential for engagement.
01:18:03Diamonds are a kind of dino species.
01:18:05Some of them were not much bigger
01:18:07than cats or labradors.
01:18:09It seems that these smaller species
01:18:11were more common than those
01:18:13of their huge cousins.
01:18:15In addition, some dinos,
01:18:17like the T-rex, were even covered
01:18:19with feathers, especially at the beginning
01:18:21of their life.
01:18:23The more you dive into the ocean,
01:18:25the darker it becomes
01:18:27until there is no more light at all.
01:18:29The colors go from green blue
01:18:31to indigo blue and total black.
01:18:33The sun's light
01:18:35rarely penetrates deep water,
01:18:37so technically,
01:18:39below 1,000 meters,
01:18:41there is officially no more light.
01:18:43But there is another type
01:18:45of light source below.
01:18:47It is blue and green light.
01:18:49It is an enzyme called luciferase
01:18:51that generates light.
01:18:53It breaks down high-potential
01:18:55energy molecules and produces photons
01:18:57through bacteria and the body
01:18:59of some fish in the depths.
01:19:01It seems logical that
01:19:03summers are so hot because
01:19:05our planet is so close to the sun
01:19:07and that winters are so cold because
01:19:09the Earth is as far away as possible
01:19:11from our star.
01:19:13However, this is another widespread myth.
01:19:15When it is summer in the northern hemisphere,
01:19:17our planet is not actually
01:19:19closer to the sun.
01:19:21It is quite the opposite.
01:19:23The Earth is so far away from the sun
01:19:25in July and so close in January.
01:19:27The weather is hot because
01:19:29the axis of our planet is inclined.
01:19:31During its orbit, the Earth's inclination
01:19:33allows the energy coming from the sun
01:19:35to reach us more directly
01:19:37because the angle is more reduced.
01:19:39The asteroid belt is not as dangerous
01:19:41as the superproductions have made us believe.
01:19:43If you had to cross it,
01:19:45it would not be a flight through
01:19:47a dense and unpredictable field of rocks
01:19:49crashing into each other.
01:19:51The asteroid belt is an area
01:19:53located between 300 and 500 million
01:19:55kilometers from the sun.
01:19:57It is a vast, empty and lonely area
01:19:59with a lot of space in the middle.
01:20:01If you gathered all the asteroids
01:20:03from this belt,
01:20:05you would get a mass equivalent
01:20:07to about 4% of our Moon.
01:20:09This is why astronomers are so excited
01:20:11when they see two asteroids
01:20:13crashing into each other.
01:20:15Otherwise, the space is not so busy.
01:20:19A slice of cheese is not something
01:20:21you expect to find on your car.
01:20:23As hilarious as it may sound,
01:20:25it could mean something dangerous.
01:20:27A woman told this story on the Internet.
01:20:29At first, she simply thought
01:20:31a kid had played a prank on her.
01:20:33She decided to call a friend
01:20:35to ask him to help her clean her car.
01:20:37But when they started to remove the cheese,
01:20:39they noticed something strange
01:20:41two parking spaces further away.
01:20:43They remember seeing a white truck
01:20:45coming in.
01:20:47Inside, men were staring at them.
01:20:49As they were not alone,
01:20:51they decided to finish cleaning.
01:20:53Even if they did not feel comfortable
01:20:55with the idea of ​​being watched.
01:20:57It took them about an hour
01:20:59to scrape all the cheese
01:21:01that had already melted in the sun.
01:21:03She wondered, however,
01:21:05if it was not a tactic to trick people.
01:21:07Because focused on cleaning,
01:21:09the victims would not pay much attention
01:21:11to their business.
01:21:13Or even worse,
01:21:15it could be a kidnapping strategy.
01:21:17No one would have time to notice
01:21:19She continues by giving this advice.
01:21:21If you ever see a piece of cheese
01:21:23on your car, do not touch it.
01:21:25The safest thing is to clean it once you get home.
01:21:27Or to bring your vehicle to the nearest
01:21:29washing station.
01:21:31The staff will know how to take care of it
01:21:33without damaging the paint.
01:21:35It may be that the slice of cheese
01:21:37is only there by coincidence.
01:21:39But some tricks are extremely inventive.
01:21:41If you notice a garment on your windshield
01:21:43or between your windshield wipers,
01:21:45do not rush to remove it.
01:21:47Do it strategically to distract yourself
01:21:49while your car is being stolen.
01:21:51The best solution is to leave as soon as possible
01:21:53and to go to a safe place,
01:21:55well lit and frequented.
01:21:57You will then be able to safely remove
01:21:59all objects placed on your car.
01:22:01Some people even found money
01:22:03under their windshield wipers.
01:22:05They were probably put there for the same purpose.
01:22:07Here is a method that some do not hesitate
01:22:09to use to prevent their car from being stolen.
01:22:13When you are parked,
01:22:15your car is parked on the sidewalk.
01:22:17Indeed, if the wheels of your car
01:22:19are in this position,
01:22:21the thieves will have more trouble maneuvering.
01:22:23And they will need more time and energy
01:22:25to get away.
01:22:27As a result, there is less chance
01:22:29that they will target it.
01:22:31Another woman remembered finding
01:22:33a paper towel under the handle of her door.
01:22:35But she did not pay attention.
01:22:37She removed it and continued her day.
01:22:39However, a few hours later,
01:22:41she found herself in the hospital,
01:22:43suffocating and suffocating.
01:22:45The doctors discovered that she had been poisoned
01:22:47by an unknown substance.
01:22:49Alas,
01:22:51scams are more and more frequent nowadays.
01:22:53And those online come
01:22:55at the top of the list.
01:22:57You can be the subject of a scam by embezzlement.
01:22:59For example, when you receive an email
01:23:01from a person you think you know.
01:23:03It can be your accountant, a colleague
01:23:05or a business where you often do your shopping.
01:23:07But if you pay close attention to the email address,
01:23:09you will easily notice that something is wrong.
01:23:11It can be a modified letter
01:23:13or an unorthographed name.
01:23:15You will be asked various things in this type of email.
01:23:17It can be private information,
01:23:19an address or a password.
01:23:21Or even a payment request.
01:23:23Others offer you coupons
01:23:25or gift cards.
01:23:27If you click on a link, your computer may be infected.
01:23:29This is the most common online scam
01:23:31nowadays.
01:23:33Authorities say that more than 114,700 people
01:23:35were victims of it in 2019.
01:23:37Their losses were estimated
01:23:39at about $57.8 million.
01:23:41Then there are
01:23:43fake shopping sites.
01:23:45To make sure you are still on the right track,
01:23:47check the URL.
01:23:49If the address of the website
01:23:51is slightly different,
01:23:53you are probably not in the right place.
01:23:55And you are probably about to be scammed.
01:23:57You can buy something on these sites,
01:23:59but there is a good chance
01:24:01that you do not receive anything at all
01:24:03or in the best case, a fake article.
01:24:05Have you ever heard of
01:24:07form jacking?
01:24:09It happens when a business
01:24:11is hacked.
01:24:13Once you have finished adding all your articles
01:24:15to your basket, you are redirected to a fraudulent page.
01:24:17The scammer then has access
01:24:19to your payment information,
01:24:21such as your name, your address
01:24:23and the information on your credit card.
01:24:25For more security,
01:24:27you should check the URL of the payment page
01:24:29before accessing any sensitive information.
01:24:31Technical assistance scams
01:24:33are even more creative.
01:24:35In this case, you can even receive a call
01:24:37informing you that your computer
01:24:39has been infected by a dangerous virus
01:24:41that may damage your device
01:24:43or destroy all the data
01:24:45that is stored there.
01:24:47The scammer can then ask you
01:24:49to download an application
01:24:51that will allow him to access your computer
01:24:53even if it is at the other end of the world.
01:24:55He will then install a real virus
01:24:57on your PC to convince you.
01:24:59This will make him believe
01:25:01that you have money to fix the problem.
01:25:03If you suspect that your device is compromised,
01:25:05always contact a reseller
01:25:07or a certified technical assistance service.
01:25:09This type of business will never contact you
01:25:11unexpectedly.
01:25:13This type of scam relies on our emotions
01:25:15and targets in general
01:25:17the oldest people.
01:25:19This is why it is nicknamed
01:25:21the scam for grandparents.
01:25:23The person will receive a call from someone
01:25:25who claims to be one of his grandchildren
01:25:27or another member of his family in distress.
01:25:29This type of scam can be used for various reasons.
01:25:31For example, to get out of prison,
01:25:33leave a foreign country
01:25:35or pay a hospital bill.
01:25:37Scams of elderly people are becoming more and more common.
01:25:39In 2017,
01:25:41the losses related to these scams
01:25:43rose to $26 million.
01:25:45In 2018, they almost doubled
01:25:47to $41 million.
01:25:49If you are in a similar situation,
01:25:51try not to act immediately.
01:25:53Ask the person for information
01:25:55that could help you confirm your identity.
01:25:57It can also be wise
01:25:59to contact another member of his family
01:26:01before sending money to a stranger.
01:26:03The scam by Google Voice
01:26:05is as easy as it is effective.
01:26:07For scams, of course.
01:26:09Here's how it works.
01:26:11You may have posted your phone number
01:26:13on a website for various reasons.
01:26:15You may be looking to sell something
01:26:17or offer a service.
01:26:19Scams will take this information
01:26:21and call you to check if you are not yourself a scammer.
01:26:23It's reverse psychology.
01:26:25They will ask you to send them
01:26:27a Google verification code.
01:26:29In reality,
01:26:31a Google Voice account will be created in your name.
01:26:33Scams will be able to
01:26:35scam other people
01:26:37by pretending to be you.
01:26:39They will simply use your new account.
01:26:41Rule number one,
01:26:43never share a verification code with anyone.
01:26:45Online CVs are not very safe either
01:26:47because they can provide
01:26:49some data sensitive to scams.
01:26:51They will try to contact you
01:26:53or recruit you.
01:26:55Some will even take the time to interview you.
01:26:57Most of them will claim
01:26:59to offer well-paid jobs
01:27:01that you will find interesting.
01:27:03But the thing is,
01:27:05before presenting the hiring documents,
01:27:07you will be asked for money for fees
01:27:09or even for the installation
01:27:11of your future office at home.
01:27:13To make sure you are always safe,
01:27:15create an email address
01:27:17that you will only use for your job search.
01:27:19This way, your personal email address
01:27:21will not be listed
01:27:23and you will be safe from this kind of scams.
01:27:25Always ask the recruiter
01:27:27to confirm by email the information
01:27:29they have communicated to you on the phone.
01:27:31If it is a company that you know well,
01:27:33you can also contact their human resources
01:27:35to verify that what you have asked
01:27:37is in line with their recruitment policies.
