Published · sourced · in one place

The people who study break-ins keep publishing what works. Nobody puts it in one place. So I did, with the source next to every single item.

Someone who spent months pulling together what police departments, federal statisticians and researchers already published, and checking every line of it.

Nobody is studying your house.

Most people picture someone studying their house for weeks.

That is not what the research found. When 422 convicted burglars were asked, only 12% said they typically planned it. 41% said it was usually spur of the moment.

Which is worse, in a way. Nobody is studying you. Somebody is walking past, looking at your house and your neighbor's, and deciding in a few seconds which one is easier.

Almost everything that decides it is visible from the street.


What the numbers actually say.

That is the whole argument for this book. You are not up against a professional. You are up against somebody impulsive, carrying a screwdriver, choosing between your house and the one next door.


Two things to go check right now. Free, no email.

One full item from the book, in the shape every item takes.

1 · The counterintuitive claim

PENDING: sample item (Mayk). A first line that knocks down the reader's assumption.

2 · The part written down nowhere

Admit the obvious part, then give the rare detail.

3 · Go and look — numbered steps

Physical, today, with a tool you already own.

4 · The honest limit

What it does not fix, and when to pay someone. Every item carries this.

5 · The source, right here

Named next to the item, not in a bibliography. This is the whole difference.

One task, on the door you use.

One page, free.

Nothing in the book has a price printed inside it. Prices live on a short, dated list, and I re-send it free when it changes. That list is the only reason to leave an email. The short version you can print and put inside a cabinet door. PENDING: o que é exatamente a folha grátis — Mayk

Most of it gets spent in the wrong order.

Camera before the door

Footage of the break-in you could have stopped at the frame.

A contract before a screw

A monthly bill before the one-time fix that costs less than lunch.

A gadget before the habit

The thing you buy instead of the thing you do every night for nothing.

Who wrote it.

Wade Barlow, 66. He runs a channel about how houses actually get broken into and what the record shows keeps people out. He spends his days in a small workshop, fixing things.

This book is the same work as the channel, organized and printed, with the source next to every item.

What's inside.

Every item is one thing you can do, in one place in your house, with the source it came from printed next to it.

PENDING: produto (Mayk). As seções, o número de itens e o número de páginas por volume. Campo vazio até fechar — nunca no chute.


Where every line in this book comes from.

Police departments across the country publish burglary prevention guidance. Federal statisticians publish who gets burglarized, how they got in, and who was home. Researchers have gone into prisons and asked convicted burglars how they picked a house. All of it is public. Almost none of it is in one place, and nearly nobody prints the source next to the advice.

That is what this book is. Every item says where it came from, right next to the item, not in a bibliography at the back that nobody reads. If you want to check one, you can. I would rather you did.

That is also the honest answer to the thing people ask about books like this: you are not being asked to take anyone's word for it. Take the sources' word for it, and check them.

What this book does not do. It does not promise you will never be burglarized. It does not teach anyone how to get into a house. And there is not one item in it I could not point you to a source for.

Honest answers.

Where does this information come from?

Published prevention guidance from police departments, federal victimization data, and academic research with convicted burglars. Every item names its source on the same page as the item. None of it is my opinion about what probably works, and none of it is a number I made up.

Is this AI?

You do not have to take my word for anything in here. Every item has a source printed next to it, and every source is public. Check the ones you care about; that is what they are there for. PENDING: resposta final do Mayk (é a maior objeção do nicho). Acima está a parte verdadeira em qualquer cenário.

Is this about guns?

No. There is not a firearm anywhere in the three books. Every item is about the house: the door, the window, the yard, and what the record shows keeps people out.

Does the book tell me what I can do to an intruder?

No, and it never will. What you are allowed to do varies by state, by city, and by the circumstances of the night, so the book does not guess. For that, ask a local attorney or your county sheriff. Every plan in the book ends the same way: get to a room, call for help, in that order.

Doesn't this teach burglars how to get in?

There is nothing in this book about how to get into a house. Not one lock, not one window, not one technique, including the "so you know how they do it" version of that, which is the same thing wearing a different hat. Every item is written from the side of the person protecting the house.

I rent, or I live in an apartment.

A good part of it works anyway, because a good part of it is habit and what is visible from outside your door, neither of which needs a landlord's permission. Some of it does need to be screwed into something you own, and the book says which items those are instead of pretending otherwise.

I already have an alarm and cameras.

Then you are ahead of most people, and the research agrees: about 60% of the burglars surveyed said an alarm would send them somewhere else. The gap this book fills is the rest of it, the doors and windows that were simply open, the screwdriver, the decision made from the sidewalk in a few seconds. Equipment nobody uses properly loses to habits that cost nothing.

What if I've already done most of this?

Go do the two free checks above first. If both come back clean, you are further along than most, and the guarantee covers the rest. If one does not, that is your answer.

Isn't this all just common sense?

Some of it is. Common sense that nobody actually does is worth writing down. And some of it is not: most people would guess a burglar picks locks, and the number is 1 in 8.

Is it digital or in print?

PENDING: depende do preço da edição impressa (order bump) — Mayk. A resposta diz as duas coisas: download instantâneo, e a impressa como opção.

Will this go out of date?

Doors and the people who test them do not change quickly, and every source is dated, so you can always go back and check it still holds. The prices are the only thing that moves, and those live on the free list, not inside the book.
