NOT ALL THIEVES ARE STUPID

 

1.LONG-TERM PARKING
Some people left their car in the long-term parking at San Jose while away, and someone broke into the car. Using the information on the car's registration in the glove compartment, they drove the car to the people's home in Pebble Beach and robbed it. So I guess if we are going to leave the car in long-term parking, we should NOT leave the registration/insurance cards in it, nor your remote garage door opener. This gives us something to think about with all our new electronic technology.

2. GPS
Someone had their car broken into while they were at a football game. Their car was parked on the green which was adjacent to the football stadium and specially allotted to football fans. Things stolen from the car included a garage door remote control, some money and a GPS which had been prominently mounted on the dashboard. When the victims got home, they found that their house had been ransacked and just about everything worth anything had been stolen. The thieves had used the GPS to guide them to the house. They then used the garage remote control to open the garage door and gain entry to the house. The thieves knew the owners were at the football game, they knew what time the game was scheduled to finish and so they knew how much time they had to clean out the house. It would appear that they had brought a truck to empty the house of its contents. Something to consider if you have a GPS - don't put your home address in it... Put a nearby address (like a store or gas station) so you can still find your way home if you need to, but no one else would know where you live if your GPS were stolen.

3. CELL PHONES
I never thought of this....... This lady has now changed her habit of how she lists her names on her cell phone after her handbag was stolen. Her handbag, which contained her cell phone, credit card, wallet, etc., was stolen. Twenty minutes later when she called her hubby, from a pay phone telling him what had happened, hubby says, "I received your text asking about our Pin number and I've replied a little while ago." When they rushed down to the bank, the bank staff told them all the money was already withdrawn. The thief had actually used the stolen cell phone to text "hubby" in the contact list and got hold of the pin number. Within 20 minutes he had withdrawn all the money from their bank account.
Moral of the lesson:

Do not disclose the relationship between you and the people in your contact list. Avoid using names like Home, Honey, Hubby, Sweetheart, Dad, Mom, etc....

b. And very importantly, when sensitive info is being asked through texts, CONFIRM by calling back. 

c. Also, when you're being texted by friends or family to meet them somewhere, be sure to call back to confirm that the message came from them. If you don't reach them, be very careful about going places to meet "family and friends" who text you.


4. PURSE IN THE GROCERY CART SCAM
A lady went grocery-shopping at a local mall and left her purse sitting in the children's seat of the cart while she reached something off a shelf... Wait till you read the WHOLE story! Her wallet was stolen, and she reported it to the store personnel. After returning home, she received a phone call from the Mall Security to say that they had her wallet and that although there was no money in it, it did still hold her personal papers. She immediately went to pick up her wallet, only to be told by Mall Security that they had not called her. By the time she returned home again, her house had been broken into and burglarized. The thieves knew that by calling and saying they were Mall Security, they could lure her out of her house long enough for them to burglarize it.

NOT LASSIE

If I had a nickel for every person who said... "I don't need an alarm, I have a dog."
Boy, would I have some Cha-Ching!

We know our dogs are smart, love us and are part of the family. But I think we impart a bit too much human character to our fine-four-legged-friends when we believe they will pick up the phone and call 911 in an emergency. A good home security system should notify authorities if there's a fire, invasion or medical event.

If you think it's wise to put your safety in the fury hands of Spot...

HOW MUCH?

Homes, Schools, Churches & Businesses
All need what I bring
So, I step to the door
I knock or bell ring
They all ask the question - How much does it cost
I answer by asking - how much will be lost
If the villains get wind
That your spot is easy pickings
It’s your windows they’ll shatter
Your doors, they’ll be kicking
It’s your treasured possessions
They will cart off
Of course, they are insured
But, they still will be lost
And what of your youngsters 
Alone, unattended
Do you know when they are home
And who they’ve befriended
Can you see if they are studying or watching TV
The price of this kind of control
Just how much should it be
To manage what matters
From the palm of your hand
Yet you call it’s expensive 
I don’t understand
Because, it’s less than the price 
Of your flat-screen TV
What I offer is priceless
I offer SECURITY

ROAD RUNNER

Rippin & running these roads @ break-neck pace
Driving like l’m prepping for an Indie race
Gotta get in front of folks and show’em what I’ve got
They be break’n sweats cause they think  it costs a lot

But, all the driving doesn’t bother me 
I’ve got a jones to show off this technology
So I go here, there, all over the place
So folks can pick up their phone and view the business space

It’s quite a challenge, but man…I’m love’n what I do
As a matter of fact, I dig the paycheck too
So please forgive me, I can’t help but smile
I’m hook’n up BUSI’s mile after mile

And when the day’s work is done and I’m safely at home
I know I’ve made people safer, another ADT customer won

IT COULD HAPPEN

It’s been a beautiful day of shopping, work, activity, social activities - life. You arrive home to find your door standing open, your possessions strewn about and your electronics gone. This is a reality for thousands each day as shiftless thieves lay in wait for the hard-working person to  leave long enough for them to reap havoc. 

We take care to invest in comfy, cozy home environments. We pay our insurance premiums and hope we never have to report a claim. But we often forget a measure of protection that can possibly prevent the destruction, damage (tangible and emotional) of a home invasion.  

As a sales consultant for ADT, the nations oldest and largest Security Industry, I often meet clients who believe that security is for the rich and super-wealthy; not hard-working folks. This is a widespread myth. Anything…home, car, health, finances and certainly family, that is worth having is worth protecting. 
Home & Neighborhood Safety

We purchase insurance to cover loss. Isn’t it just smart to insure against that loss before it strikes? Statistics have shown that a home or business displaying signs of  security systems are far less likely to be targeted by thieves and vandals. Call me at 662-582-1105 to find out how you can protect your treasures and possibly qualify for a discount with your insurance agency!

LOCK DOWN

Ok!

   So, school is out and you get to worry while you work. Are the kids ok? Are they safe inside or riding their bikes in traffic? Is the sitter feeding them on time or just rushing a snack before you get back?

I'm a Mom and a Grandmother, so I know all the questions that run amuck in your brain when you aren't with your children. And, as a child advocate, I recommend ADT Solutions, not just because I'm an ADT Security Consultant, but because I was a latch-key kid. I know first hand, the challenges of parenting and the opportunities that presents themselves to unattended children. 

ADT has solutions that allow you to monitor everything from the opening of doors to how high the AC is turned up. Personally, I enjoy the video monitoring that allows you SEE who's in your home. 

No longer do you have to call the house and hope they haven't forwarded the call to their cell. If you want to know if you child is at home, simply log onto the web and view your cameras. 

I'm not talking SPYING. I'm talking checking up & checking on. Monitoring routines. Like...

...are they studying or watching TV all day?

...are there people in your house that you disapprove of?

...is there any bullying taking place?

...and a multitude of other questions that plague our minds when we go to work each day and leave our children at home alone or with a sitter.

ADT is more than a noise to frighten burglars away. ADT is total home management (Business Too) but that's another topic for another day. 

ADT is all that futuristic stuff we saw in the movies, when we were kids ourselves. Opening doors and turning on lights before we get out of the car...that's just a taste. Knowing what's happening when it happens...now that's futuristic.

ADT LOCKS YOUR HOUSE DOWN SO TIGHT THAT THOUGHTS CAN'T ESCAPE!!!

Going on vacation? No worries!

Travel for a living? Still, no worries.

That's what the ADT peace of mind is all about.

As you can probably tell, I love talking about what ADT can do...SMILE*
