Subtitle: Finding red wax on your door lock is definitely concerning and should be taken seriously.

Let me tell you about the first time I found red wax on my door lock.

I was in my late fifties, and I was leaving for work. I noticed a small red mark on my front door lock. I didn’t think much of it at first. I assumed it was a random piece of debris.

But then I noticed it again the next day. And I started to worry.

I did some research, and I learned that red wax on a lock can be a sign of a criminal marking system. It can mean that your home has been targeted by burglars.
