1. Lower your garage doors during the daytime when you are inside your home.
2. Keep your car keys in a secure place and never leave them in your car, even if it is in a locked garage.
3. Leave lights on at night if you plan to be away from your home. Lights on timers are helpful, especially when leaving town.
4. Leave a radio playing to give the impression that someone is in your home.
5. Consider installing a security system with motion detectors and glass breakage sensors. Displaying window decals indicating that a home is protected with a security system is one of the best deterrents against burglary. If you have an alarm system, remember to activate your perimeter alarm when you are in your home.
