If you spot a rubber band on your front door handle, you need to know the sick thing it means

There are few things more important in life than the safety and security of ourselves and our loved ones.
It should go without saying that the majority of us want to avoid danger wherever possible, and most of all in our own homes. For as long as humans have been civilized, our homes, be they small or large, ancient or brand-spanking new, have provided us with an added sense of security.

Which is why it’s so terrifying when we fall victim to burglaries and the like. The very idea of a stranger gaining access to our home and being able to snoop around and touch or take what they please gives me the creeps.

I’m sure I’m not alone in that, so I thought it a good idea to share an important warning concerning a tactic employed by some criminals looking to gain access to properties by preying on unsuspecting homeowners. Want to know more? Read on…

Security at home is usually something people take seriously. Some own dogs that they rely on to be both a warning and defensive system. Others have security cameras outside their homes in the hope of warding off would-be criminals or filming them if they’re undeterred.

As has been the case time and again throughout history, however, criminals always endeavor to stay one step ahead of the preventative methods in place to stop them.

A Texas woman, Kim Fleming Cernigliaro, found that out a few years ago, when she found herself at the center of an alleged break-in attempt at her home.

Following her terrifying ordeal – which occurred in 2016 – Kim took to Facebook to explain what had happened, as well as to give a rather sinister warning that people would be wise to remember.

“Two weeks ago,” her post began, “during the day, a hard knock was at my front door, not a regular knock but almost pounding, (I honestly thought something may have happened to someone and they needed help) but something didn’t feel right…and I DO NOT answer the door when I am here by myself. So don’t bother!

“After several Knocks, they finally left. I glanced and could see it was a man through the stained glass of my door. After about 30 minutes I walked outside to look for what I thought would be a brochure, but instead found a rubber band around my knob to hold the door to open when I unlocked the latch. I called Ron and he told me to get the gun out and leave it out.”
Shockingly, as per reports, Kim had come very close to being the victim of a technique used by criminals to gain entry to people’s homes.

Kim’s post went on to reveal that she had contacted the local sheriff, who had informed her that it was quickly becoming a trend in the area.

She continued: “As soon as you unlatch the door, they do not wait for you to turn the knob, they can bust in on you. Anyway just be careful, I USE to be such a trusting person, but not at all anymore!”

Wow! I’ll certainly be thinking twice about answering the door to unexpected strangers from now on! Share this article to help us get the message out there.

When this Teen Daughter Leaves Mother in Favor of Cheating Father

The course of one woman’s life took a sharp turn when she entered into marriage with a wealthy man, believing he would be a blessing to her family. Sharing her story on Reddit, she recounted his acts of generosity, from lavishing expensive gifts upon her parents to settling her sister’s credit card debts and securing a lucrative job for her brother at a prestigious firm. Despite his infidelity, her husband remained faithful to her, garnering admiration from her in-laws for his unwavering support during tough times.

The first crack in their marriage surfaced soon after the birth of their daughter, Kelly. Faced with the dilemma of leaving her husband, she sought counsel from loved ones, yet found herself unable to take decisive action, convincing herself that his infidelity stemmed from her perceived inadequacies as a wife during pregnancy. The second instance of betrayal occurred when Kelly was around 12 years old, prompting her mother to seriously consider divorce.

Despite her resolve to end the marriage, familial pressures, fueled by a desire to avoid scandal, weighed heavily against her. Reluctantly, she proceeded with the divorce, though custody battles left her without Kelly by her side, despite receiving alimony and a fair settlement.

Painted as the antagonist by her in-laws and parents, she faced an uphill battle to maintain a connection with her daughter. Only her steadfast friend Tina provided solace and support through the ordeal, serving as both confidante and anchor during tumultuous times.

Though she extended financial support for Kelly’s education, the rift between mother and daughter persisted, exacerbated by stringent conditions outlined in her will. Kelly, however, forged her own path, pursuing an accounting degree and a successful career, distancing herself from her mother’s inheritance to assert her independence.

Life, however, has a way of reshuffling the deck. Kelly, now financially self-reliant, sought to mend bridges with her mother, especially as her father’s fortunes dwindled, leaving her college fund depleted. This unexpected turn of events led to a tentative reconciliation, with Kelly relinquishing her claim to her mother’s estate in exchange for support for her graduate studies.

In a twist of fate, Laura, the woman’s goddaughter, emerged as the primary beneficiary in her will, sparking familial discord and bitterness over the perceived injustice.
