Making Your Home Secure

Burglary is one of the fastest-growing types of crime. To minimize your risk as a target, check out the security of your building, and examine the security habits (or lack of them) of all the occupants. Many householders make life easy for the would-be burglar by such simple oversights as leaving windows open and doors unlocked, or by advertising the fact that the house is empty. Don't let your home look a likely bet for the opportunist thief.
