Cameras or booby traps, Vietnam style

I dont lock my door

>>25631657 >Is it enough to put a piece of paper between the door? I thought about this too, but it's not failproof. I easily experience psychotic fits and I want to avoid going to the loony bin. I came to the conclusion that I'd need a camera, but I don't want to spend money on it. It also comes with a lot of added overhead I'd need to consider

>>25631717 There was also this thing that Mike did in Breaking Bad to check if someone was in his house (the door mat thing or whatever). I considered it, but I also never bought the required stuff and just forgot about it

>>25631726 Remind me please. Btw, my door mat was stolen before so it's not a good idea depending on where you live.

>>25631736 Carbon paper under the door mat. Ink transfers to the other paper when pressure is applied. Just put the door mat inside right behind the door or place a lot under your rugs idk

programmable door lock make it log every opening additionally you might want to - make it emit extremely loud sounds if not closed for longer than 15 seconds - make it require a code to unlock from inside

there are some tricks like stacking some dice just behind your door, then leave through the almost closed door people will open the door wider, naturally, and wont be able to stack the dice in the same way they were before.

>>25631774 Good one. Noted. Ordering dices now

>>25631774 In the other hand I can imagine coming home after a while, forgetting that I setup the dices, open the door like always, realize I ruined it

>>25631772 That's a genius idea Bernd. I realize I can just get a door chain with a key or code to my "vault". >>25631793 Take a picture before leaving.

>>25631726 if you play mcgyver, you can take a pen, glue and a bead loosely fittin in the pen body, cut out a window on the pen body, so you can feel the location of the bead inside then glue the thing to the door handle you might want to choose a fitting handle before opening, you might want to put your finger on the bead, and if the handle was rotated, then bead would be movned

>>25631752 this would be an insane hassle to check every time, and if anyone onlooks on how you enter the door, they would easily notice you're avoiding stepping on the door mat and do the same

>>25631657 Piece of invisible tape at top of door frame

>>25631816 >I realize I can just get a door chain with a key or code to my "vault". It's like unlocking LUKS with a USB drive What are good programmable locks?

>>25631816 idk what you're implying under all those chains, but pretty much all smart locks allow for logging, so you can just use that one function to see when the door was used for seamlessness you can program some kind of Siri-station to beep the amount of hours since the last time it was opened on your entry, and then say "welcome back, master"

Tape the door at a certain angle to see if it was opened within a certain birth. Dust in a small area. Camera.

>>25631892 there's a lot of locks, you'll have better luck asking your local smart locks shop, or finding one yourself on your local wagiezon website

the only way to know for sure is to never leave your room

>>25631657 I put an empty lighter on the doorknob with the decals pointing upwards and put my headphones in a very specific way on my closed laptop.

>>25631774 That's too much work verytime you go out tho.

>>25631774 Sorry but how does that make any sense? The invader only has to stack the dice in any random way. You'll inevitably topple them again when entering the house, and then you won't know whether they were stacked like you left them. Only way to fix this would be to have a simple mechanism allowing you to enter the flat without touching the dice, but with nobody else knowing.

When you're suffering from psychosis, no amount of evidence will put your mind at ease.

I had a blanket over my door to keep people from peeking in, and found the strings on the corner of it had to be brushed aside just right when closing the door to not get caught in it. I also had a game camera. I realize now that perhaps I am too paranoid, however I did manage to catch people by doing that.
