5 Simple Homeowner Safety Tips:
1. Keep your house locked at all times: an unlocked house invites crime. Keep valuables out of sight of first floor windows.
2. Keep your car locked at all times: keep loose change in your car out of sight. Anything visible in your car is an invitation for someone to break in. (Over 50% of car break-ins in our neighborhood occurred in unlocked cars)
3. Keep your front and back door lights on at night: police say that lighting is an effective crime deterrent.
4. Notify neighbors when you go away: arrange to have your newspapers stopped or picked up. Ask a neighbor to retrieve packages or mail delivered when you are away and leave a contact phone number where you can be called in case of emergency when you’re gone.
5. Call 911 to report any suspicious activity: cars or vans whose occupants are acting strangely. Strangers in the neighborhood whose behavior is unusual or unsettling.
