Burglary Prevention Basics
BURGLARY PREVENTION BASICS:
-Make your home look occupied and make difficult to break in.
-Lock all outside doors and windows before you leave the house or go to bed. Even if it’s a short time, lock your doors.
-Keep your garage door closed and locked.
-Don't allow daily deliveries of mail, newspapers or flyers to build up while you’re away. Arrange for your post office to hold your mail, or arrange for a friend or neighbor to take them in regularly.
-Change locks immediately if your keys are lost or stolen.
-Have adequate exterior lighting. A motion-sensitive light is recommended for backyards.
-Trim trees and shrubs
-Make sure your door hinges are on the inside.
_Activate your alarm system if have one.
_Doggie doors should have a locking mechanism.
