The Complete Method
Thirty-one years in a security uniform, written down in one place. Twenty-eight chapters on how a house tells a stranger whether anybody is home, and what to change so it stops telling him. Every fix has its price next to it, and every honest limit is stated.
The Book
Eight parts that walk your house the way a guard walks a building. The door, then the glass, then the light, then the ground around it, then the electronics, then what happens when the place sits empty, and last of all the people who come to it.
The videos cover one idea at a time, in whatever order the week suggested. The book is the whole round, in order, with a checklist at the end of every part so you can work through the house one evening at a time.
Curtis spent thirty-one years watching who comes to a door and why. He is not selling an alarm contract, and he says plainly where every fix stops working.
One payment. It is yours to keep.
30 day money back guarantee. No questions asked.
The Truth
Almost everything the average homeowner believes about a break-in comes from television. Here is what the men who did it say when somebody asks them.
| What people picture | The television version | What actually happens |
|---|---|---|
| It happens at night | A figure in the dark, two in the morning | Daylight, on a weekday, while you are at work |
| He picks the lock | Skill, tools, patience | He knocks first, to find out if you are home |
| The alarm sign is enough | The sticker does the work | Noise, a dog, and signs of life do the work |
| Cameras stop it | You watch it, so it does not happen | Footage tells you what already happened |
| It takes him a long time | An hour going through the house | Inside in under a minute, gone in under ten |
Drawn from thirty-one years on the job, plus the two burglar studies Curtis cites on the channel: the KGW Portland survey of eighty-six convicted burglars, and the University of North Carolina at Charlotte study of four hundred and twenty-two of them.

Eight parts, twenty-eight chapters, and a closing walk-round. Nothing is hidden behind the checkout.
The five dollar budget, who actually comes to your door, and the information war you are already in without knowing it.
The front door, what you say through a closed one, the back and side doors nobody looks at, and the rule about rekeying.
Windows, sliding doors, and the weak points on a ground floor that a man can find from the sidewalk.
Houses breathe. How to make an empty one look lived in, and how to tell an honest lie about who is home.
The garden that defends itself, your tools and shed, fences and gates and bells, and the garage that lets him in.
Cameras and video doorbells honestly, the response time math on alarm contracts, and what your house broadcasts.
The leaving ritual, packages and porch pirates, and the seasonal changeover most people miss twice a year.
The doorstep interview, why the phone is a door too, and what to do when something is actually wrong.
One last round of the whole house with everything in place, and the short chapter that gives the book its sign-off.
The videos take one idea at a time. These run the length of the book.

Who Wrote This
Curtis Hayes started night shift at a shopping mall in 1988. Then came years in retail loss prevention, reading people on camera. He finished his career running the front desk and the camera room of a residential high-rise.
He is retired now, and he teaches instead. He wrote this down because the same few things kept working for thirty-one years, and nobody had put them in one place for an ordinary homeowner.
"The safest houses aren't the loudest ones. They're the ones that give nothing away."

Questions
No. The videos take one idea at a time, in whatever order the week suggested. The book is the whole round in order, with a checklist at the end of every part, and most of the material has never been on the channel.
It is for a homeowner who wants to do this themselves, cheaply, without signing a contract. It is not written for security professionals, and it is not a book about weapons or about confronting anybody. If what you want is a system installed and monitored for you, this is not that book.
Yes. Most of the fixes are a screwdriver and ten minutes. Where a job genuinely needs a tradesman, the book says so instead of pretending otherwise.
No, and Curtis does not sell one. There is a whole chapter on the response time math, so you can work out for yourself whether a contract is worth it where you live.
Most are a few dollars. The book prints the price next to every one, so you can pick what fits your budget rather than being sold a package. A fair number cost nothing at all beyond an hour of your evening.
It is a file that opens on any phone, tablet, or computer, and it can also be printed on paper. It comes straight to your email within a minute of paying, and it is yours to keep. There is nothing to log into.
No, and anybody who tells you otherwise is selling you something. Nothing makes a house untouchable. What these methods do is cost an intruder time, make noise he cannot afford, and tell him a lie about what he is up against, so he moves along to an easier house.
