Make Noise
Turn your stereo or TV to your favorite station when you leave. To a burglar the noise may give the apperance that someone is home. Some clients also tell us they always forward their home phone to their cell phone
Trim the Hedges
Keep the hedges next to your house at a level no higher than the window sill. Otherwise, would-be burglars will have a place to hide.
Mark Your Valuables
Permanently marked items make it easier for the police to trace and return stolen items to you.Social security numbers and drivers license numbers with the state abbreviation work best.Keep a record of marked objects.
Have Your Home Watched While You Are Away
Have a neighbor collect newspapers and mail. Consider hiring someone to take care of your lawn, or a house sitter for extended absences. Above all, let your neighbors know when you will leave and when you will return.
Lock Up
High security dead bolt door locks and sturdy window latches help prevent break-ins.close and lock garage doors
This helps protect any valuables stored in your garage while preventing access to your house from inside
Park in the Driveway
To give the appearance someone is home, park another car in your driveway or ask a neighbor to park there. This also prevents burglars from backing a van into the drive for easy loading.
Be Careful With Spare Keys
If you leave a spare key somewhere outside, be creative. Burglars look under flower pots, welcome mats and on window ledges first.
Lighten Up
Leave your outside lights on at night. If your neighborhood is dimly lit, ask your municipal authorities to add street lights to replace existing bulbs with those of higher wattage. When you’re not at home, leave one or two lamps on inside your house.

Put in Peepholes
Peepholes with magnifying lenses let you see who is at your door without opening it. Never leave notes on your door, even if you are at home.

Check Your Mail
When you are away you may want a neighbor to pick up your paper and your mail. robbers often check the mail box, 3 or 4 papers in the yard may indicate the resident is on vacation. Don't put your name on the mail box this makes it harder for the robber to call 411 for your number, they often call to see if you are home.
Report Unusual Behavior
Get involved. Team up with your neighbors and, form a crime watch program. Your local police can probably help you get started.
