Leave your outside lights on at night. If
your neighborhood is dimly lit, ask your municipal
authorities to add streetlights or replace existing
bulbs with ones of higher wattage.
Invest and maintain reliable dead-bolt door
locks and sturdy window latches These devices
ward off burglary attempts.
Trim tall landscaping to the height of your
windowsills. Hedges provide hiding places
for would-be burglars.
Install peepholes with magnifying lenses
on your doors. This lets you see who's at
your door - without opening it.
Never leave notes on your door. This
includes even when you're at home.
Permanently mark your valuables to make it
easier for the police to return them to you if they
are stolen. Social Security numbers and
driver's license numbers with a state abbreviation
work best. Keep a record of marked objects.
Tune the stereo or TV to your favorite station
when you leave the house. To a burglar it
means that someone's home.
Close and lock garage doors. Not
only does this protect valuables stored there, it also
prevents access to your house.
Park an additional car in your driveway or
ask a neighbor to park there when away for an overnight
trip. It gives the appearance that someone's
always home and prevents burglars from backing a
van into the drive for easy loading.
If you leave a spare key outside, be creative. Burglars
routinely check under flowerpots and welcome mats and
on window ledges.
Ask a neighbor to collect newspapers and
mail when you're away. If you'll be gone
for an extended period, hire someone to take care
of your lawn or even to housesit. Most important,
make sure your neighbors know when you will leave
and when you will return.
Team up with your neighbors and form a crime
watch program. Your local police can help
you get started.
Install a security system. Schneider's
systems are easy to use and provide you with an added
