Home security habits

Home security habits

· Establish a routine to make certain that doors and windows are locked and alarm systems are turned on.
· Avoid giving information to unidentified telephone callers and announcing your personal plans in want ads or public notices (such as giving your address when advertising items for sale).
· Notify the police if you see suspicious strangers in your area.
· Don't carry house keys on a key ring bearing your home address or leave house keys with your car in a commercial parking lot or with an attendant.
· Don't hide your keys in “secret” places outside your home — burglars usually know where to look.
