Have you ever wondered how our habits can affect safety?
It turns out that one of the simplest gestures we make right after returning home may expose us to danger.
Turning on the light immediately after entering the apartment can cost us a lot.
Do you turn on the light as soon as you get home? This is a big mistake
In the modern world where social media is at the forefront and public sharing of one's location is almost commonplace - it is not difficult to find out where someone lives. It is even more crucial to be aware of potential threats in times like these.
But how do thieves find out where exactly you live? The answer may be surprising to many.
If a thief follows us until we return home, turning on the light right after entering the apartment is simple and specific information about which apartment we exactly occupy.
This is a reminder that we should pay more attention to our habits. Instead of turning on the light immediately after returning home, it is worth waiting 10 minutes.
Also remember other basic safety rules: lock the door and always check who is on the other side through the peephole before opening the door.
