- Make sure your yard is
well lit – especially around windows and entry doors. Not only
will this deter predators from stalking your yard but it will allow you to see
out if you suspect something is amiss. - When
you are away, don’t advertise – don’t let mail, newspapers, or
recyclables and trash build up while you’re on vacation or away for work. Ask
a trusted neighbor or friends to pick up these items to make your house look
“lived in.” - Practice key
security – be wary about lending your keys to anyone. Key
duplication is simple, takes just a few minutes, and costs pennies. Even if
you trust the person you’re lending your house keys to, they may inadvertently
make those keys available to unscrupulous folks looking to make a quick buck.
Always ask for your keys back and consider using keys that cannot be duplicated
or locks that can easily be rekeyed. - Join or
start a neighborhood watch – you don’t have to organize patrols,
just talk with your neighbors and get them all to agree to be mindful of their
surroundings. Tell them you’d be very appreciative if they’d keep a watchful
eye on your property and you’d be happy to return the
favor. - Get educated – education
