Do not leave messages on your telephone answering machine noting when you will return home. Do not leave repairmen or deliverymen in your home unsupervised. They could easily slip away with your belongings or return later to burglarize your residence. Take a good look at anybody going door to door in your neighborhood. He could be attempting to determine who is home during certain times of the day. If you and your neighbors gain a clear look at a thief or he senses that persons in the neighborhood are watching, he may decide that committing a burglary is too risky. Talk to your children about home security. Explain your security precautions and emphasize the role they play in keeping your home secure. Ask them to remember always to lock the door and keep a careful watch on their keys. Show them where the keys to internal locks are located in case they have to exit your home quickly. |
