Burglary Crime Prevention Tips

Secure all outside storage units and equipment.  Keep lawn mowers, barbeque grills, bicycles and other outdoor equipment stored out of sight from passersby.  And when you are making your nightly rounds checking locked doors, don’t forget the garden shed.

Don’t leave spare keys out in the open.  Hide-a-keys and door mats are not secure ways of leaving an extra house key around.  If you need to have a spare, get with a trusted neighbor and swap keys.  This way they can identify the appropriate people who can have access to your home while you are away.

When it comes to crime there are no guarantees; anyone can be a victim.  If you are burglarized in the future, there is one final step you can take now to help the police recover your items.  Keep an up-to-date list of serial numbers and descriptions for all your electronic devices and other valuables.  The list should include the make/brand, model number, serial number and physical description of each item including the color, size and other identifying characteristics.  Follow these few simple steps and start taking a proactive stance against burglars and crimes of opportunity.
