1. Secure all entrances: Ensure all doors and windows are locked, even when at home. Consider investing in a home security system, including door and window sensors, and motion detectors.
2. Improve outdoor lighting: Bright lights can deter potential intruders. Install motion-sensitive outdoor lights around the perimeter of your home, especially near entrances and windows.
3. Stay vigilant and connected: Get to know your neighbors and consider starting a neighborhood watch program. Keep valuables out of sight, and don’t advertise your absence on social media. Stay informed about local crime trends and report suspicious activity to the authorities.
