Fake Security Stickers for Your Windows
July 11, 2007 – 7:19 am
I’m not one to advocate putting fake security company stickers on the windows in hopes of fooling burglars into thinking you have a high speed, professional alarm system installed, but I can certainly understand the allure of paying $3 for some stickers instead of $3,000 for a full-fledged home security system.
If you’re concerned about home security but money is tight, you can get stickers like these from Amazon.com for a couple dollars. I’m not sure how well they actually work, but it is a proven fact that burglars want the easy jobs (who wants to get caught and go to jail and who wants to work harder than necessary?), so if they see these stickers, they may leave your home alone and target a less likely house down the street. If you go for the window stickers, do at least invest in good doors and door and window locks to help protect yourself (and present a solid front for the enemy).

I used to work for ADT, and one of the statistics we used was that homes with burglar alarms were only 1/3 as likely to be broken into.
And how do the bad guys know which homes to avoid? That’s right - signs and stickers!
