Burglars look for the easiest target. If your home looks like too much work, they move on.
Here’s how to make your place tougher to break into:
🔒 Lock all doors and windows
Front. Back. Upstairs. Basement. Double check the ones people usually forget.
🪟 Install window bars on basement windows
They’re affordable, easy to install, and instantly make your home less appealing to a thief.
💡 Inspect your window locks
Just because it looks closed doesn’t mean it’s secure. Give each lock a tug and fix anything loose or flimsy.
🚗 Lock your vehicle too
Thieves often target vehicles parked in driveways and on the street. Always lock your doors, close the windows, and never leave valuables in plain sight. Garage door openers, wallets, and spare keys are hot targets. A quick check before bed can prevent a lot of headaches.
Most break-ins happen because someone made it easy. Don’t be that someone.
