Securing Your Home

Burglary is one of the fastest-growing types of crime. However, you can minimize your risk as a target, by checking out the security of your building, and examining the security habits (or lack of them) of you and your family. Many householders make life easy for the would-be burglar by such simple oversights as leaving doors unlocked and windows open, or by advertizing the fact that the house is empty. Don't let your home look a likely bet for the opportunist thief.
