Christmas time offers an opportunity for some nice gifts for the wrong people. There are few things more traumatic than a home burglary. That’s why it makes sense to invest in good locks and, if necessary, a good alarm system.
There are also ways to work with your neighbor’s to prevent these crimes from occurring. In fact, police say that watchful eyes are one of the best ways to deter burglars on the prowl.
Police recommend that you know the names of all the neighbor’s adjacent to your property. Get in the habit of watching each other’s homes. Stay alert to cars and people lingering around that don’t seem to belong.
Another strategy is to set up a community Facebook page. That way, when someone sees something suspicious in the neighborhood, they can immediately notify everyone by posting a Facebook message.
Finally, don’t be a stranger. It has been proven that the better neighbor’s know one another, the lower the crime rate is in the area.
Happy Holliday’s
