You never think it's going to happen to you, but crime is unavoidable in this day and age. We like to think that our homes and communities are safe from this, but sometimes they are not, so it's good to have basic safety and security in your home. Here are some easy tips to help make your home less of a target.
- · Make sure all of your doors and windows are locked when you leave or go to sleep.
- · Leave the porch lights on at night or if this gets too expensive install a motion sensor light.
- · Keep a light or lamp on when you are not home at night, so it looks like someone is inside.
- · Install a peep hole, or always ask who is at the door before you open it.
- · Make friends with your neighbors and ask them to report suspicious behavior if they see it.
- · Curtains help keep your things hidden from wandering eyes and potential burglars.
- · Use your security alarm whenever you leave your home or go to sleep.
- · Take pictures of your valuables just in case something happens. This will help with insurance claims.
- · Keep your car keys by you when you sleep, you can use your car alarm to alert neighbors if someone does break in at night.
- · Talk to your roommates about safety and security. It only takes one person to leave everyone else vulnerable.
If you make these things routine and are aware of your surroundings then you will lead safer life and be more protected.
