Inadequate Security and Crime Victim Cases
Improve Your Security at Home with 3 simple suggestions
Three simple tips which can help you and your family avoid becoming the victims of a burglary.1. Make your house look lived-in
Burglars use cues to help them choose a house to target. These cues include:
- an accumulation of flyers, newspapers or mail;
- snow covered walkways or driveways;
- lawns in need of maintenance; and
- unkempt bushes which obstruct the view of an entrance.
Eliminate as many of these cues as possible, and try to make sure a neighbor takes care of things for you, if you’re away for an extended period of time.
2. Mark your property items
permanently mark your valuables with a unique identifying number, such as a driver’s license number (never use a social insurance number).
3. Install a high-quality lock
A surprising 26% of all burglaries occur through the front door, largely due to inadequate locks. Improve your home’s safety by installing a good quality dead bolt with a one-inch latch and security strike plate. The security strike plate should feature a minimum of four holes and should be installed with a wood screw, measuring no less than 2 ½ inches.
