After writing that, I realized that in truth men should be careful too.
Don’t brag about that big vacation coming up. What you are telling folks is that your home will be empty for the time you’re gone and easier to enter and exploit.
Some thing for your habitual routine.
“Hey I like to go out with the buds every Monday night. I never get home before 2:00”
That gives them at least 2-3 hours to clean your clock : )
I tell everyone on FB every time I leave. What I don’t say is Hubby is not going with me. Lol
Still waiting.
