Many homeowners and apartment dwellers are worried about their homes becoming a target of burglary today. This is because home burglaries are definitely on the rise. While we should not be surprised by this trend, we also should not be worried by it either. You can keep you and your family safe. Here are some tips on how to prevent your home from becoming a target of burglary:

  1. Clean up your yard. Do not leave toys, tools or other items lying around. Make sure that your home's yard is kept neat and tidy. If you live in an apartment, you should be sure that you never let anyone that you do not know into the building. This also means that you should not buzz someone that you do not know into the building because this is how criminals have been known to gain entrance to apartment buildings.

  2. Make sure that there are no dark or concealed areas around your home. Cut your shrubs if they are too big.

  3. Close all of your windows whenever you leave home. It does not matter how short of a trip you are going on, all of your doors and windows should be locked whenever you leave home.

  4. Install a peephole. Install a peephole in your door so that you can see who is at the door without opening it.

  5. Never leave notes on your door for deliverymen.

  6. If you need to let someone into your home while you are away, purchase a lockbox for the key. Never leave a key "hidden" by your house as this makes your home an easy target for burglars. Whenever you move into a new apartment, you should make sure that a new lock has been installed so that old tenants cannot gain entrance into your apartment. Also be sure to replace your locks whenever you lose your keys.
