Except "spectacles, testicles, wallet, and watch" is the Catholic sign of the cross (face, lower torso, left chest, right chest). Nothing to do with checklists.

I meant that "light" was on the list because it made the phrase roll off the tongue easier.

I've found cellphones don't need to be on the list but the charging cords do!

Leaving the lights on with the curtains drawn - and possibly the radio playing - is a hack to discourage break-ins. Someone seems to be home, but burglars can't actually look inside to check.

Too many people use that trick now. Even the 'put a light in an automatic timer' trick is common.
Instead just put a sign up that says "Any unauthorized testicles entering the building will be donated to a good cause".
Check that the gas stove is off (important). Lights off. No running water (after a few, um, incidents). You didn't leave your phone, did you, and make sure the cat didn't run out (he'd always try).
I always wondered why "lights" were on the list, since nobody gave a damn about electricity bills.
Guess for the same reason that "testicles" are in the parent comment's list :)
