Home Security-
Three Steps to Make It Happen
Back in the day “my other life” as I called it, the restaurant
business was how I made my living. It didn’t take too long to
learn there were only three groups of people trying to steal
from you: employees, customers and suppliers.
As far as employees were concerned, being the naïve bumpkin, I
thought they were all honest until “given” the opportunity to
take something. In other words put some obstacles in their way
and chances are honesty will prevail. Don’t make it easy! Find

The same notion applies to protecting your home whether you are
out of town or not. Put some obstacles in the way-DON’T MAKE IT
EASY!
Here are some simple easy steps to take to protect your home.
-
Make sure your home always
looks like someone’s there and not vacated : Little things
like leave your curtains open but don’t have valuables like TV’s
etc. in plain sight. Stop the newspaper, have someone mow the
lawn, stop deliveries if you are away. Leave lights on. Don’t be
so obvious that no one is at home.
-
Always secure your house :
If you have a burglar alarm set it. Lock windows and doors-even
upper level windows. Lock the garage and make sure your tools
are locked in a secure place and any ladders are secured as
well. Many homes have been broken into with tools and ladders
from the garage.
-
Let your neighbors and police
know if you’re gone : The value of neighborhood watch
groups is enormous. Ask them to keep an eye out for anything
suspicious. Your neighbors will appreciate it when you return
the favor for them. If police have knowledge of your absence it
doesn’t mean they will patrol, but at least they are aware.
With just a little bit of effort
and some advance planning you can take three simple steps to
make your house safer so that when you return from an extended
vacation or a trip to the store everything will still be there.
