Never leave things on/in a nightstand
Here’s another tip warning us not to keep stuff in plain view. Before getting into bed, people usually take their watches off and place their phones on a nightstand. When a burglar comes around, you can bet that your nightstand is one of the first places they’re going to check.
Drawers and locks in your nightstand won’t do very much to deter a burglar with a crowbar. In fact, the bad guy might flip your entire bedroom upside-down to search for cash or small objects. Only set up decoys in your bedroom and keep the real stuff out of sight.
