This week's edition of my mom's basement is brought to you by Simply Safe.

You know how most Batman stories start with a burglar kicking in a door or breaking in somewhere,

or the penguin kicking down something, or someone's goons kicking down a door,

getting into someone's house, stealing some shit, stealing some jewels, stealing some money,

stealing whatever they can. And it doesn't only happen at Batman stories, happens in real life too.

On average, a burglarie happens every 23 seconds in the United States, and approximately

2 million burglaries are reported a year in the US. That's pretty fucking crazy.

20 out of every thousand households were burglarized in 2017. That's a really hard word to say as well.

burglarized. I'm saying it a ton in this ad. And what's really crazy is that only one in five

homes have home security. Maybe that's because most companies don't really make it easy.

It takes a while to set up. It's a hassle. It's confusing. It's expensive.

That's why Simply Safe is my top choice for home security hands down. Simply Safe protects every door,

window, and room with 24-7 professional monitoring. They make it easy. There's no contract,

hidden fees, or find print. It's won a ton of awards, the CNET, the New York Times wire cutter,

and the prices are always fair and honest. They've got around the clock monitoring as well,

and it's only $15 a month. But the one thing that makes Simply Safe truly stand out is their

video verification technology. When other home security systems are triggered, a lot of the time

please assume it's a false alarm and the call goes to the bottom of the list. But not with Simply Safe.

Using their video verification technology, they're able to visually confirm the break-in is happening,

allowing police to get to the scene 3.5 times faster than other home security companies.
