Don't Invite Burglars In By Jake Stewart, State Farm Agent Imagine coming home to find that someone has broken into your home and stolen valuable item and ransacked your personal possessions. The feeling of devastation can be overwhelming for victims of burglary. It's a crime we are all vulnerable to, whether we live in a city or rural area, have a high or low income, live in a house or in an apartment or condominium. According to the FBI, a burglary happens every 15 seconds in the United States. It’s a serious crime. A few simple steps can make your home a harder target for burglars. - Lock all outside doors and windows before you leave or go to bed. - Leave a few lights on when you are not home. - Keep all garage doors closed and locked. - Don’t allow daily deliveries, like newspapers and mail, to pile up when you’re out of town. Ask a friend or neighbor to pick them up for you or arrange to have deliveries stopped until you return. Other things to consider: - Contact a locksmith for advice on pick-resistant locks for your doors, sliding glass doors and windows. - Don’t leave keys under flower pots, doormats, or other “secret” hiding places – burglars know them all. Be a good neighbor. If you notice anything suspicious in your neighborhood, contact the police immediately. |
