Your home may be great for any welcomed guests, but there may be certain habits you developed over the years that invite thieves and criminals.
Habits that we develop to make our homes comfortable for our guests come without any risk, right? Well, that may not be entirely true. Certain habits that we picked up along the way as homeowners may actually make your home too inviting and entice criminals to enter as well. What are these habits? Here are a few tips on how you, a homeowner, can prevent property crimes by doing a few simple tasks.
- Maintain Your Lawn - Shrubs and bushes look great on yards, but they can provide great hiding spots for would-be criminals of left unkempt. In order to remove these hiding spots, make sure that your bushes and shrubs are trimmed at all times.
- Let There Be Light - Thieves love to hide in the shadows, so installing motion-sensor lights can remove these shadows and cause them to cross your house off their robbery list.
- Home Security System - A home security system can alert you and the local authorities of a break-in. Most modern-day alarm systems can connect directly to your smartphone to alert you immediately.
- Lock Doors & Windows - Make a habit of locking all doors and windows, even when you are in the house. Your front, back, and garage doors should always be locked. As well as all of your windows - including those on the second floor.
