Al Carrell: Every three seconds of every day in America somebody has their personal property stolen. It could be you. Now even if you lock it up and put chains on it, somebody can go in with the right tools and cut right through those chains. See how easy that is. We're going to show you how to beef up your security.
First of all, you're going to be a lot better off with extra strong cables instead of chains. Now these cables can still be cut through, but it's going to take a lot more time. And if you make that crook work more than sixty seconds to get your goodies, he's going to go on someplace else where it's a lot easier. This longer cable allows me to lock all of the furniture together out on the deck so nobody can walk off with it. You might not think about your gas grill as being something somebody would steal, but it happens a lot. This particular cable has the lock built right into it. It's a combination lock that you can reset anytime you want to. Any ladders that are stored outside ought to be chained to the fence or the side of your house and locked up for two reasons. First of all, you don't want anybody to steal the ladder. And also, you don't want a crook to be able to use the ladder to get into a second story window.
You know, power tools are easy to get rid of, so thieves love to steal things like that. When you lock them up, not only are you going to protect them against loss, but you're also going to prevent kids from being able to mess around with them and that prevents them from getting hurt. If you'll just lock up all your goodies, you'll be able to help take a bite out of crime.
