With a home burglary occurring every 15 seconds in the U.S., it’s wise to be protected in case your residence falls victim to theft.
1. Home security system
Deter thieves with noise or an automatic call to the police.
2. Proper outside lighting
Thieves may choose to bypass a well-lit home.
3. Strong exterior doors
Solid wood or metal provides stronger protection against break-ins.
4. Block windows for the basement or locked window well covers
Use these to keep thieves from seeing or entering your basement.
5. Locks for pet doors
Make sure your pet door isn’t a point of entry for a thief.
