"It's in the Bag!" One Big Reason to Protect Your Home with theBulldog Bar

Picture this happening to you: 

Your handbag "mysteriously" disappears at home, which contains your cell phone, credit cards, wallets and  cash. 

You call your spouse or partner from your landline to tell him/her what just happened, only to learn that your situation is much more severe than simply misplacing your purse--

Your house was burglarized WHILE you were home, but only your bag (which was near the front door), was taken.

To make matters worse... those endearing security names you use when communicating with loved ones (which also happen to be your security passwords for debit/credit cards & other money matters) are now apparently flying across the airwaves. 

How'd you discover this? Because as you continue your rant about your missing handbag, your spouse or partner interjects by replying, "I received your text asking about our PIN to our check card and I sent it out a while ago. Was that not YOU who texted me, asking for that information?!..."Oh, what a terrible sinking feeling. 

Immediately you hang up the phone with your partner to quickly get a hold of your bank to inform them what has just happened. Unfortunately... the bank employee tells you your money has ALREADY been withdrawn. 

That means, whoever broke in and stole your carry-all that held some of your most valuable belongings knew just what to do with your cell phone, by extracting personal information and contacts to track down your PIN and quickly drain your bank account.

While it is always a good practice not to list your personal contact information on electronic devices that could possibly be accessed or hacked, it's also imperative to confirm your source (when sensitive info is being asked through text) by calling back.

Additionally, it's very important to better protect your household to prevent thieves from breaking in, compromising your privacy and stealing your valuables.

Home security devices like theBulldog Bar can give you the safety and peace of mind you need to feel safer so your family (as well as your valuables) stay out of the hands of burglars and under your roof at all times. For more information about theBulldog Bar visit: theBulldogBar.com .
