Never forget to do this before leaving home. So stick a plate in there and close it up. Take your scissors and just cut all the way down the middle. Take a piece of tin foil, wrap it around the handle. Take a zip tie, wrap it around the handle and tighten it up. Make sure to cut off the excess. I'm gonna stick the lock over the zip tie just like that. And now just lock it up. All right, so I'm gonna take the key, put some tape over it and stick it in my secret little hiding spot. Stick a piece of tape on the window and put one more on, in the shape of a cross. All right, this is the most important part. Don't open. Please.
