A mean old man showed me this.
Before leaving the area you intend to secure, find two pieces of scotch tape and a hair preferably 3" long or greater.

Close and lock the door as usual, then tape each end of the human hair next to the door crack near the knob. You want the section across the crack to remain clear of tape, so the finished product should look like an invisible "H".


The tape running vertically and hair horizontally

Then when some creep actually opens it while you are out, you will know and if you measure the hair it's easy to see if the trap was replaced.


Enjoy

why not just lock the door?

This information is useful more for folks concerned about an office or apartment, i.e. a place where more than one person owns keys but is not necessarily within the bounds of the law entering your space without express permission or notice.


Lol p.s. to answer the bald question,


The person relating this used his wifes hair.

HA! Does this prevent entry by ninja?

Nope, ninjas use the side door and HA! Doesnt even knock anymore, lol.

There's no such thing as 'preventing entry by a ninja', though you can make it take longer. Xp

Yeah, can you imagine having a landlord who comes in and comes all over too?

Just because he had to check a stove.

The tape i left on April 5th was moved when i got back april 12. Interesting right?

Then the *** tries throwing me out when he's caught in my tape trap.
