Security Tips
- Never leave anything of value in your automobile, or if
absolutely necessary, lock it, hidden, in your trunk.
There's no need to tempt fate.
- Valuable or not, never leave anything that could be perceived
as valuable (e.g. an old, empty purse, an empty laptop case, etc.)
visible in your automobile. There's no need to entice thieves.
- Never leave your automobile unlocked, not even during the day.
Would-be thieves may pass up a locked car as breaking in could
attract attention. Don't make an easy target!
- Don't leave (or at the very least always hide) your
garage door opener remote in your car, if your car is ever parked
outside of your garage. Thieves could break into the car to
get the opener to gain access to your home.
- If your garage is connected to your home, always lock the
garage's door to your home.
- Do not leave your garage door open any more than absolutely
necessary. This is especially important overnight, but even
doing so during the day provides a view to would-be / will-be
thieves so they know what they can come back for at an opportune
time.
- To enhance security, leave outside lights on at night, or
install motion-detecting lights, including at your back door, as
entering through the back is preferred by thieves because it hides
them from being viewed by neighbors and people driving down the
street. The small electricity cost is far outweighed by the
added security, especially if you use the new "compact fluorescent"
(spiral) bulbs, which are very energy efficient. Criminals
love the cover of darkness. (On a side
note, always be careful with fluorescent bulbs, as they contain
mercury, and therefore require special disposal and careful clean-up
if ever broken!)
- Watch out for your neighbors and ask them to watch out for you.
The more secure the overall neighborhood is, the better off we all
are.
