ADT Home Security

As most of you know, I live in South Carolina. Last week, a nearby town was terrorized by a serial killer. This person, and it pains me to call him that because in my opinion he was a monster, killed five innocent people. He had no preference. One of his victims was fifteen, and another was eighty three. I live very close to this town, and my daughter was terrified. She is a worrier to begin with, and all the news coverage was giving her nightmares. We spent a lot of time indoors this past week, with our doors locked. I can tell you, that was not a fun way to live. Luckily, the murderer was identified after he was shot and killed by the police.

This whole thing has got me thinking about my family's safety. I want to have a security system installed. I want to go with a company with a great reputation, and Junior suggested we go with a d t. They are America's #1 home security provider, and they protect all federal courthouses nationwide. They are so popular, they install more than eighty systems an hour. Once installed, your house is monitored twenty four hours a day. I know I will sleep better knowing someone is watching over my family.

Protecting My Identity

The first time I heard about Lifelock was on the Celebrity Apprentice. The team Joan Rivers was on did an amazing presentation, with each played coming out and saying they were her. They did a great job showcasing the product, which should be obvious since I remembered it, and I never remember anything.

The scary thing is that identity theft is becoming a common crime. It is so easy for people to get access to all your private information, especially from your computer. Lifelock protects your credit, by having you be contacted before any new credit cards are issued. They keep your name off the pre-approved credit card lists, which makes it a little harder for someone to get credit in your name. These are just a couple of the things they do to keep your identity safe. I know I want to do whatever I can to keep my identity safe, and you should to.

Nosy Neighbors

I live in a duplex. When we first moved in, we had a young couple living in the other side. They were barely in their twenties, and I think they smoked more than cigarettes. They would knock on our door to hang out at midnight, and not think anything of it.

One day, I was sitting outside with the kids, and our neighbor walked over. She told me that the night before, her and her boyfriend were on our front porch, checking out the things we had out there. I was floored! Not only because she did that, but because I did not hear them out there. I wish we had some kind of security camera surveillance equipment out there, or motion sensor lights, or something. At least then I would have been alerted to someone being out there. It's a good thing they were only looking, because they could have stolen everything out there, and we never would have known who did it.

Luckily, a month after we moved in, they moved out. No more midnight visits, or hanging out on my porch. Is it wrong to say I was happy to see them go?

Protect Your Belongings

How many times have you lost your cell phone? Or your music player? Or even your keys? There is now a really simple way to improve the chances of getting those lost items back. Foundit Lost and Found Service is a new way to greatly increase the likelihood of someone returning your personal property. The person who finds your property simply calls the toll free number on the decal, and you will be notified that your property has been found. Foundit acts as the "middle man", protecting your identity and where you live. They will arrange for your property to be returned to you, either by meeting in a mutual, safe location, or having it shipped to you, without the finder ever having access to your personal information.

It really is simple How it Works. You just order the company's high quality, durable and weather resistant decals, and affix them to your property. It could be your cell phone, camera, keys, or anything really. The decals adhere to any clean service. You can even use them on your kids stuff. Then you just register your items at Foundit.com, and you are done. They have an 80.7% return rate on lost items.

If you are giving electronics this Christmas, think about protecting them as well.
