Home Security Weaknesses
Check around your home for weaknesses and
correct them. You can do many things to make your home more secure
for little or no money.
Take the time to "case" your house or
apartment, just as a burglar would. Where is the easiest entry? How
can you make it more burglar-resistant?
Trim trees and shrubs near doors and
windows, and think carefully before installing a high, wooden fence
around your back yard. High fences and shrubbery can add to your
privacy, but can also be an asset to a burglar. Consider trading a
little extra privacy for a bit of added security.
Force any would-be burglar to confront a
real enemy—light. Exterior lights and motion detectors, mounted out
of easy reach, can reduce the darkness a burglar finds comforting.
Simple security devices—nails, screws,
padlocks, door and window locks, grates, bars and bolts—can increase
the amount of time it takes to break into your home.
Invest in a burglar alarm and
monitoring. Not only for protection against burglars but to
detect fire and summon the fire department automatically.
Are any of your valuables—paintings, a
silver collection or a computer—easy to see from outside the house?
Rearranging your furnishings might be advisable if it makes your
home less inviting to criminals.
