We have a Simplisafe system, and we really like it. You can run it without paying for monitoring, but in order to use the phone app, you have to do the $25/month level. It’s also a lot easier to install, since it’s wireless and you’re not tearing holes into your walls. I’m pretty sure it has a cell back up, too. And…

Geez...that is a lot of money. If someone breaks into my place, the best they could get is my TV and computer. That’s about a year of ADT. I don’t get burglarized once a year.

If you are off contract already and the system is now yours you can switch to a cheaper monitoring company. The one I know of where I used to live was smith security $16 a month and they install a cell antennae so you dont have to have a land line

Make sure your alarm system has a cellular backup. If they cut the telephone line, the cellular will kick in.

And your against trump, we get it...

I live in an area known for a lot of burglary and people looking to steal cannabis. Lately I have heard about a disturbing uptick in dogs being shot. It sucks, and I have a Staffy, who at first glance seems like a scary dog but she is such a big baby... She would let a robber in for belly rubs if she could. I’m…

I put one in my car once when I kept getting broken into. I left a juicy wallet right in the center too. A lawyer friend told me I could go to jail when the crook lost an arm: It was worth it!

The conspiracy theorist in me wonders how many of their answers were either lies or incomplete to make future targets softer...

Ex-con here. A good job-man will scout out a place for days or weeks beforehand, and then a few hours before pulling off the robbery. These tips will thwart an amateur, though, but not a pro. Just a word of warning. If you suspect someone is in your house when you come home, just walk away and let them finish the…

Many times when my phone has died and I’m in the middle of nowhere, the battery is banished to an armpit for 10 minutes...

I’m just gonna rest mah eyes...

...will this work with Spanx? Asking for a friend.

As a young man I have fallen asleep at the wheel once and was lucky enough to live through the experience. In about 1980 I had joined the Navy and gone back home to Florida after going through boot camp and my first school in Chicago before going off to my next duty station in San Diego. I was also home to pick up my…

i’ve found that the blue light emanating from the smartphone i’m using typically keeps me quite awake as i drive.

I’m betting she was just trying to park the thing

Factory jacks are not made for constant usage. I've heard of VW guys using theirs so much that they fail. Also, I would never get under my car with only one of those supporting it.
