An Arizona woman is sitting behind bars for quite some time after stabbing her husband over his cell phone call history.
Now, lets go back a little bit. This lady’s suspicion didn’t all of sudden come about and she thought, “hmmm, let me check out his phone”. No, no, no…we all know women have this funny thing called intuition.
Her intuition alarm had been going off long before this night.
What she failed to do was try to catch him first, then confront him with hard core evidence. Instead, she freaks out over an untelling call log and stabs the man multiple times.

The demand for stun guns, Tasers and pepper spray jumped on Tuesday with the news of nine sexual assaults or rapes reported in Fayetteville and Hope Mills and on Fort Bragg.
A neighbor of mine recently came to me to ask for help with choosing hidden cameras for his home. We’ll call him “Joe” to protect the innocent.
Joe’s been having repeat break-ins occurring at his home. He explained that he knows it’s the same thieves every time, thinks he knows who it is, but can’t prove it. He continued to say he has two choices to end this: 1) shoot them, or 2) catch them in the act. He really prefers the latter.
With a family of 6, Joe is very concerned for their safety. His wife is now afraid to stay home by herself with the kids. Joe is dealing with the stress of being away from home, wondering how many doors he is going to have to replace before these criminals get caught. The police haven’t been very much help. There isn’t enough evidence.
Joe has been broken into many times by these thugs, and the last two times were within a month of each other – just this past month as a matter of fact. A no-good neighbor keeps a watch for when there is no one home at Joe’s and then makes a call and gives an “all clear”. Later, when Joe arrives home from a long days work, his house is torn apart, and things are missing. Valuable things like jewelry, money and guns. The jerks even tear through the kids’ rooms for goods.
Last Saturday, which was also the day Joe received his camera equipment from us, he and his son were out back shooting their guns, practicing for their next hunting expedition. Later that evening, while Joe was running up the road to drop his kids off at his parents so he & his wife could enjoy a night out with some friends, the culprits tried striking again. After hearing the gun shots earlier in the day, that no-good neighbor rang his kleptomaniac friends to fill them in.
The sound of those guns alerted them there was more loot. Unfortunately, Joe hadn’t enough time yet to get his camera’s set up and in place. Luckily, his friends had been pulling up in his driveway at the same time and ran them off before they could do any damage.
Now he has his hidden cameras in place and recording 24/7. He has them strategically placed at the entry points, and the next time those burglars prowl again, it will be their last time.
Even if you have never been burglarized, wouldn’t you feel more safe knowing that should this happen to you, you’ll have the security in place to prevent it from happening again?
We have a great line of hidden camera products – check them out! And, don’t forget, our Christmas Season sale is still running, so you’ll receive 15% off your entire order!
I got an email from a reader who became concerned about safety when a neighbor was attacked on an evening jog.
This lady jogs the beach every day after work around 6pm. Up until the time change it was always light outside during her run.
The other night she made her way down to the beach, turned on the iPod and started her 2 mile route.
So it was dark, she had earphones in, the music cranked-up, and no one was around…or so she thought.
During her cool-down a man grabbed her from behind and tried to force her to the ground. She never even heard him coming.
Luckily she was able to fight him off and run for help.
I immediately suggested the Mace Hot Walkers. They are 1lb walking weights with a secret weapon…Pepper Spray. Just point the weight at an attacker’s face and shoot! You even get one Free replacement canister.
While 9 month old Emily plays in a crib, her young, single mother gets ready to go to work. She recently hired a part-time nanny to watch after Emily during the day.
Her daughter was the happiest baby anyone had ever met. Always laughing and smiling, having fun and being a baby. But after a few weeks Emily’s disposition changed drastically. Her mother thought it may have been from a lack of naps and sat down with the nanny to emphasize the importance of a schedule.
Not wanting to take any chances, Emily’s mother purchased an Air Freshener with a hidden camera and digital video recorder built inside. It was very simple to use…she just plugged it in, chose to record only when motion was detected and hit record.
She returned home from work one afternoon to find Emily down for an afternoon nap. She almost felt guilty for sneaking around with the hidden camera.
After saying her goodbye’s to the nanny and settling in from her day of work she decided to review the video.
Much to her dismay, she saw that her daughter was left in a play pen in the living room for the first 4 hours while the nanny slept. After the nanny couldn’t sleep through baby Emily’s cries any longer the nanny would let her roam freely around the house. The mother’s anger is building and building.
A little further in to the recording, she watches as some friends of the nanny’s show up at the house. During this time, it seems the nanny locked little Emily in her room.
Still angry, of course, Emily’s mom continued to watch. Tears filled her eyes as she watched the nanny slap her child. The nanny would walk by Emily and kick her out of the way. She picked her up like a rag doll and tossed her onto the furniture.
Emily’s mom stopped the recording, grabbed the phone, and went to Emily. While dialing the police, she picked Emily up from the crib and noticed bruising on various parts of her body, including her face.
Thankfully, because of the nanny cam purchase, a trip to the emergency room, and a police report filed, Emily is alive and healthy today. A nanny is in jail.
Today I talked to a friend who works for a sports photography company in Florida. It’s a close knit group of people with a love for capturing the priceless moments in sports. Tonight, however, their pockets and arsenal of equipment are alot lighter.
Saturday started just like other. The vans were packed with cameras, lights, backdrops and tents. Several teams headed to photo shoots all over town. They set-up, they shot pictures, they broke down and went home.
It was a normal practice to leave everything in the van, hiding the camera bag and money box. They would unload everything next week. But someone beat ‘em to it.
They returned to find the van door had been pried open with a crow bar, the cameras were removed from the camera bag, lenses and flash along with $2000 cash was stolen from the van.
The thief or possibly thieves, entered the studio and went for the book keepers desk where they made off with more cash.
The owners know it was an inside job because the thieves left anything that was really important to the company. Things like storage cards that held hundreds of pictures, laptops that also stored several thousand pictures and other expensive electronics.
This is the biggest mistake of victims: creating opportunity. Too many people knew how and where equipment and cash was stored and access to these things was completely unrestricted.
It really hurt the owner and I don’t mean financially. He thought he could trust the people who work for him. He learned the hard way.
And now, after it’s too late, he is looking for ways to protect his business. I suggested things like the Motion Detector Hidden Camera with Built-In DVR, the AutoDialer which will call up to 5 phone numbers if motion is detected, a few Doorbraces, hidden safes for petty cash and even pepper spray for the employees while at work.
His total loss is somewhere around $5000.00. Wouldn’t you feel more at ease if your assets were protected?
Yesterday after my email, I received another great tip from a reader. If you use the suction cup attachment for a portable GPS system in your car, make sure you wipe off the mark it leaves on the window. Leaving the smudge lets people know you have a GPS system and could interest them enough to break in.
Today’s story also is related to vehicle safety. You may have been following the story of the three college girls who went missing while on a stargazing expedition in North Dakota.
They were discovered yesterday in ten feet of water hidden by tall grass at the bottom of a pond. Authorities say they probably drove straight into the pond because they were unfamiliar with the area and couldn’t see in the dark.
When I think about 10 feet of water, it doesn’t seem like much. But when a car is submerged the whole situation changes. It is important that you know exactly what to do should this ever happen. There is no room for error.
The moment you enter the water your mind is racing and you panic as you reach for the seat belt. The car will begin to sink and tilt vertically because of the weight of the engine. Water will begin to rush in. The most important thing to do is NOT follow the bubbles. Air is escaping through the trunk because the car is sinking head first and will likely turn upside down.
1. Immediately open a window if you can. If you cannot get a window down, because anything could happen, you should have an Emergency Hammer in your car. This tool has 2 very sharp hammers that will break a window or windshield instantly. It is important to keep this tool in a very accessible place.
2. After the window is opened or broken, unbuckle your seat belt. If you do this before opening a window, you will likely be swept to the back of the vehicle with the current of the water. If the seat belt is jammed, you can also use the Emergency Hammer to cut it.
3. Prepare any passengers as the vehicle is sinking. Get out and swim to the surface. The longer you stay in the submerged vehicle, the lower your chances for survival.
Remember to break a window first! Create an escape path immediately. If you don’t, you will have to wait until the car is almost fully submerged and pressure has equaled out. Then try lowering the window, breaking it with your seat belt or brace yourself for kicking it out.
With the Emergency Hammer, you have a glass breakage hammer and a seat belt cutter all in one.
I received an email that I wanted to share with you. I won’t share the actual email because it tells a story that is a little over the top. But there are two important messages.
GPS systems are everywhere now. Some are portable, some are built into cars. One feature of these systems is the ability to store addresses in them. You can even name these addresses for quick reference such as “home” or “in-laws” whatever it may be.
The story was about a car that was stolen from a parking lot. The thieves used the car owners GPS, found a saved address named “home” and went to their house to break in. Somebody had their thinking caps on that day.
First lesson, don’t save your home address in your GPS. Save a local store or somewhere close to home.
Second lesson, don’t leave valuables out where people can see them. Criminals act on opportunity. A purse or expensive electronic is like an invitation to a thief. Hide things under seats or better yet, lock them in the trunk.
A diversion safe is a great way to hide valuables in plain sight. No one is going to think twice about a JB Engine Degreaser.
