Home Security

1. LOCK YOUR DOORS...Don't take it for granted that the back door is locked, check it. Double check your front door. There are too many left open according to police.

2. OPERATION I.D... Engrave your valuables.

3. MOTION LIGHTS...A front and rear motion detector. Many homes have front motion lights, but very few have rear motion lights. That's the primary area most likely to be broken into.

4. ALARM SYSTEM...From low cost to very sophisticated systems.

5. A HIDDEN SAFE...A fireproof safe as large as your needs are.  Excellent for personal papers as well as expensive jewelry. There are dozens of places to put it.

6. SAFE DEPOSIT BOX...If you feel more comfortable with your valuables in a safe deposit box, see your local banker.

7. SECURITY BARS...An inexpensive way to halt entrance to your home. Especially your bedroom window and rear door window. Excellent when leaving for the season.

8. PROGRAMMED TELEPHONE...If you have a telephone with push button memory buttons, program the first one for 911 and park security on number two. Close your eyes and practice finding those numbers as you might have to do in the night time without the use of a light.

9. DEAD BOLTS...A long shafted, two keyed dead bolt. It maybe an inconvenience sometimes, but it works.

10. CAMCORDER CAMERA...If you don't own a camcorder, borrow one and tape the complete inside of your home, T.V.'s, V.C.R.'s, jewelry, anything that's important to you. Even show your I.D. #'s engraved on these items. Don't forget your tools. At the very least, take pictures, and keep the tape or pictures in a safe, or well hidden! Should keep the videos & photos off-site if possible.

11. SECURE A CARETAKER for your home. This can be a neighbor who stays here all year-round or a professional service. This can help prevent thefts & help eliminate or mitigate summer claims.
