How to protect yourself:
Always check your locks and door frames for anything unusual.
If you’re away for a while, ask a neighbor to keep an eye on your place.
Install a security camera or even a fake alarm.
Notice small things—like bits of paper, coins, or strange marks near your entrance.
I still don’t know if someone was actually planning to rob me… but ever since that day, I’ve been far more cautious. And I suggest you do the same.
