Burglary Prevention Tips

One of our neighbors vehicles was broken into recently. Among the things stolen were golf clubs and a cd player. I guess its standard procedure for the police to leave door hangers in any neighborhood with a recent theft. I'm sure that will be all of our neighborhoods with the recessionary environment were heading into.

Hear are the tips.

Install quality locks and deadbolts.

Lock all doors and windows.

Keep your home well lit at night.

Mark and photograph your property.

Use time sensors and electronics while away from home.

Install/Utilize security and alarm systems.

Report suspicious persons or vehicles.

A few are obvious. A few are practical. A few are not for the faint at heart.

I would add these steps.



Keep your important documents and valuables in a fireproof/waterproof safe.

Organize your garage so you can park in it. This will prevent theft and avoid storm damage.

Know where you wallet, keys and personal belongings are at all times by having a designated home for these items.

Put the dog out back during the warm months.

Prayer for God to put a hedge of protection around your family. They can have the stuff. I'm concerned about my wife and children.
