| |
Keep shrubbery trimmed
|
| |
Thick shrubbery and trees cover your windows, allowing burglars to work undetected. Plant thorny bushes around windows and walkways.
|
| |
| |
Lock up
|
| |
While this might seem obvious, many people forget to lock the house completely. Make sure all doors and windows are locked when you go to bed or leave your house.
|
| |
| |
Install peepholes on all exterior doors
|
| |
Always ask for identification from repair and service representatives. Never leave them in your home unsupervised.
|
| |
| |
Be sure your address is visible from the street
|
| |
A visible address is vital in emergency situations. Install easy-to-read and illuminated numbers.
