Window of Opportunity
Posted on | April 20, 2007 |
When the temps rise, I love to open the windows and let in warm, fresh air…unfortunately I’m also opening the opportunity to becoming a burglary victim.
Crime tends to increase and decrease with the temperature. Prepare for the warm weather; take some time to evaluate the security of your doors and windows. Start to think like a thief:
- Are the locks adequate?
- How easy is it to remove the screen from the outside?
- How easy would it be to climb through the window? A doggie door?
- What entrances are hidden from view? (Think about adding additional lighting to these areas).
- Should you think about installing alarms? Extra locks? Bars?
Read our Be Prepared - Home Theft article for additional steps you can take to protecting your possessions and your home, regardless of the temperature outside.
