(playful music)
- Today I'm gonna reenact my worst nightmare,
getting attacked by someone in my own home.
- I'm always paranoid and I have an active imagination.
So I just wanna be prepared.
- When I was a kid someone broke into our house.
And the guy came through my window.
I was in my bunk bed.
I just laid there quietly.
My dad heard the guy, and just chased
the motherfucker outta the house.
- I've just always wondered what I'd do in that situation,
like if I was holding groceries
I would swing my bag at them.
- I feel like in my home, that's when I feel safe.
So I'm pretty terrified of someone invading it.
- I think when you feel the safest is when you can be
most vulnerable, and I think this is a good thing to know
how to protect yourself in case something like this happens.
(dramatic music)
- So, I'm gonna talk to you all today a little bit about
how to stay safe if a home invasion occurs.
First thing you need to do is make sure your house is safe.
Make sure that you have good locks on the doors,
make sure that you have good windows, an alarm system.
But one of the best deterrents is a dog.
And it doesn't have to be a big dog.
- We all have dogs!
- [Art] It can be a little dog like this.
- [Kelsey] We did it!
- If all else fails, and you find yourself the victim of
a home invasion, I want you to think of three things.
Run, hide, fight.
In this house, you could probably run back here.
The number one tool in this room is barricade the door.
Prevent them from getting in.
Escape out the window, call for help out the window.
Hide in the bathroom.
Shut the door, lock the door, call the police.
Look around in the bathroom for things that you could
use in case you have to fight.
You have a spray can here.
Spray 'em in the eyes.
If they have a weapon, you wanna push
the weapon away from your body.
But as far as places on the body you wanna attack, eyes.
Gouge the eyes if you have to.
Hit 'em in the groin, and then (claps) escape.
You got a second room in this house.
Run, shut the door, lock the door.
As you're coming up the stairs, think, "There's a stick
"there, that could be a weapon, I'm gonna grab that."
You got a fire extinguisher.
Throw it down, hit 'em in the head.
You got a chair.
Throw it down, hit 'em in the head.
Break a window, make noise, let somebody know
what's going on in your house.
And the number one thing to remember,
is be determined to win.
That's what's gonna be the difference between
you making it and you not making it.
- [Kane] If they have a gun, do you still
hit them with the chair?
- [Art] You hit 'em no matter what.
- Okay.
- Some people would say, "Well, you might anger 'em."
Well, don't you think they're already angry?
They came into your house.
I mean, nine times out of 10, they just don't walk up
and kick the door in and run in, they use a ruse to
get into the house posing as someone that you would trust.
Anyone coming to your house unannounced,
ask for their ID, show it to you through the door.
Once the door's open, you lose.
(lightly suspenseful music)
- I thought we were being invaded.
- Wait, this doesn't help me in my home at all.
I signed up for this video because I was paranoid
and wanted help saving myself.
- Fuck, yeah.
- Do I get a gun?
Oh okay, I'm down.
(rock music)
- My plan, I was telling Maggie,
is we should stick together.
I think that's our biggest thing.
We don't know what to expect, we don't know how many people
are coming, we don't know how they're coming in,
where they're coming in from.
- It's kind of like the fantasy of being
the final surviving girl in a horror movie.
Like you look really badass when you do it,
but in real life...
(door creaks open)
- We thought that was the intruder.
(laughs)
- [Kelsey] I let myself in--
- [Maggie] Sorry.
- [Kelsey] I'm sorry, I think I might have left it in here.
It's super weird.
- [Zach] Hello.
(yells)
- [Kelsey] This is a robbery!
- [Kane] Wait, this is real?
- [Kelsey] No, get down!
You're gonna be shot!
(dramatic music)
- [Kane] No!
- [Kelsey] Zach, they can be shot, why are they moving?
- [Zach] I got everything, I got everything.
- [Kelsey] Let's go.
- Wait, my phone is gone.
SOS!
- [Kelsey] We win, we win!
(laughs)
Yes!
- I'm sorry, Kane!
- [Kelsey] I'm sorry!
Oh Kane's gone.
- [Maggie] Where is he?
- All right, I don't know the time, I'm about a block away,
this is my protection in case someone else was outside.
- I can't believe I thought a bowl was a viable weapon.
I have a bowl! (laughs)
I'm not afraid to use it.
- I'm so proud of Maggie, though.
She slipped out the window like a ninja.
(suspenseful music)
- [Zach] I didn't wanna hurt anybody.
I'm glad I didn't have to hurt anybody, and we got the
jewelry and the drugs and that's all that mattered.
- I feel really bad that I'm the kind of person who
would just ditch everybody and leave.
Before that, we were like, "We should stick together."
And I was like, "Yeah, we should totally do that,
" 'cause that's the right thing to do!"
I was like, "No, deuces, I'm out."
And I feel terrible about it, I've got survivor's guilt.
- [Man] You hear them?
- [Kasiemobi] But he got someone else
to send me an SOS.
- [Man] Oh, that's epic.
(dramatic spy music)
- [Zach] Ice cream?
- [Maggie] This is good.
- My dog's gonna be jealous when he smells you today.
- [Kelsey] Aww.
