not really only slightly correct.
the snow one is crap though as it is unbelievably easy to find who someone is by the mark there shoe leaves.
looking for a reference's now
Are you kidding me? You think a thief is going to care who's been to the house recently? If they see any tracks at all, they'd try to opt for a house without tracks. I used to watch "To Catch a Thief" all the time. Most of these are good tips.
It was implied, but never said explicitly: make sure your windows are locked. Especially if someone else has been inside your house or place of business. Laborers at the house or customers at the shop might unlock windows to make a break-in easier.
Obvious places to hide things: key under the mat, or under a rock, money under the mattress, in the underwear drawer, in the kitchen cabinets, or in a compartment at the head of the bed, guns under the bed, in the closet, or in, under, or behind night stands. These places are all widely known and will be the first places a burglar will look.
A safe that's not bolted down is like a christmas present. If you can't bolt it down, at least put it somewhere that's not too obvious.
And putting passwords on your computer and encrypting your sensitive files won't stop a thief from formatting it and pawning it. If they did get into your computer, then you're at high risk for identity theft, so I'm not saying passwords aren't important. But if they can't get in they're just going to format it, so make sure you back up everything you're not willing to lose.
Security is a preoccupation of mine. From personal security, to premises security, to computer and network security. I don't take every precaution, but I like to stay informed on my options so I can decide what's best for me on the spectrum of security vs. convenience.

buy a gun. Lots of those problems are instantly solved.
assuming you are home at the time, and even then you have a big mess, or an even bigger issue, what if he has a bigger gun, your asleep and hes pointing it at your head before you have your gun ready?
what if your not home, and he steals your gun and commits a breaking and entering turning into a murder/hostage case, now you have your registered gun tied to a murder or crime. and odds are you are never getting it back.

I can do 230 pull up's and have walked 17.3 km's in under 10s through bush and fire breaks in the 45 degree heat, uphill in the snow in my bare feet. I also wrestle bears, tigers, lions and giraffes every day on my way to work. I was also the one who emancipated the slaves in 1863. that's the extent of my physicality.
What a ridiculously 'macho' way to go about it. How about you grow the **** up and realise that you can't be home 24/7.
There's always someone home in my house. Problem sir? Also what the hell is macho about shooting another man? Self defense isn't really masculine. It's gender neutral.

Except that you gravitate towards any thread with even the slightest hint of having guns in it. I understand that you like them, but they're not necessarily suitable in every situation.

Still, why would a burglar tell you anything?
Used to be a larger percentage, sadly not its mostly children.
