Redundancy is Key

One trap is good, but multiple traps? That’s professional-level home defense. You spend the next hour setting up a gauntlet of obstacles throughout the house.

Christmas ornaments strategically placed as crunchy floor hazards. Extension cords rigged as tripwires. Duct tape positioned to catch unwary feet. By the time you’re done, your house has become an obstacle course worthy of a military training facility.

“Let’s see them get through this,” you mutter, admiring your handiwork. The house may never be the same, but it’s definitely burglar-proof now.
