I found out about this problem and thought since the Genie has been let out of the box all of the people who are at risk need to know. Ladies this is a must read for you especially if you live alone or just with other females.

I am talking about “lock bumping”; which is a way a crook can file just about any key down that fits into a lock and use it to open the lock in seconds. Making bump keys is an easy process that only the more elite crooks used to know about but now you can find how to videos all over youtube.com.

A news story in Memphis brought this to my attention and you can see it below- this is going to make you say yikes!

Now as they mentioned in the news story there are “bump proof” locks from Medeco and Schlage Primus; if you are a woman living alone or with other females these higher dollar locks are worth the investment to increase your safety.

Ok as you can see this is a problem. Now if this wasn’t bad enough you have to see just how easy it is to make and since these videos are literally all over youtube.com I don’t feel remiss about showing it to you so you know how bad this really is.

Besides getting a bump proof lock from Medeco or Schlage Primus, you can also take measures such as using motion activated lights or get an alarm like our Voice Alert System-6 which you can see here (it opens in a new window): Click here to see Voice Alert System This system is only 149.00 which is peanuts compared to your life.

The whole point I wanted to get across to you is that now that this is all over youtube.com every punk that couldn’t break into a house that wasn’t left open will be able to break into 90% of the homes out there.

The crooks have this info, you now have this info; the question is what will you do with it? I hope it isn’t nothing!

Stay safe!
