Basic steps that may improve your home's security:
> Make your home appear occupied at all times by leaving some lights on or using light timers.
> Ask a neighbor to park one of their cars in your driveway.
> Ask a friend or neighbor to collect mail and newspapers.
> Have a delivery hold placed on mail if no one can pick it up.
> Turn off WIFI and DSL connections to deter identity thieves.
> Use motion sensor floodlights placed out of reach from thieves.
> Forward home phone calls to your cell phone so you can be reached.
There is no certainty that you can prevent thieves from stealing your possessions, but you can lower the chances of break-ins by taking simple precautions like securing your doors and windows or not leaving a spare key for a burglar to find. As always, use good judgment, and weigh the pros and cons in the decisions you make.
