Who would have known that a humble fork could keep us safe at home and more importantly whilst traveling?
You do need a special kind of fork though. The one Phil uses has a tapered shaft with the fork prongs being about 2 inches long. I guess they made them bigger back in the day!
Pick up a fork at a flea market or eBay. Share this little tip with your friends if they travel or don’t have great home security. You never know, it may just save their life.
