Tip
of the Week
Home Burglary
Prevention
Criminals look
for easy targets. Burglars watch for homes that are dark and seem to be
temporarily unoccupied. You can do a few simple things to help prevent your
home from being burglarized:
Locks - Use
the locks you have on all doors and windows. Make it a routine to check all
locks before you leave your home. Use dead bolt locks having a 1" throw.
Shrubs -
Should be kept low enough so they do not block possible points of entry or help
conceal a potential burglar.
Doors - Solid
core wood doors with frames that cannot be spread apart with a pry bar are preferable.
Burglar Alarm
- Install an alarm and be sure to prominently display all signs and
decals that your home is protected by an alarm system.
Lights -
Install in front, back, and by garages. Motion detector lights are an
alternative to lights being on all the time. Interior-timed lighting devices
should be utilized when you are not home.
Garage -
Never leave your garage unlocked, especially if it has a connecting door to the
home.
Mail and Newspapers
- Make sure someone picks up your newspaper and mail if you are to be away for
an extended period of time so potential burglars don't see them piling up
when you are not home.
Spare Keys -
Never leave a spare key in a hiding place outside your home. Burglars know all
the common hiding places.
These are simple
steps you can take to help ensure you home is safe.
