Quick Tips for Increased Home Security

Security is important to just about everyone. If you're like me, you probably feel pretty secure in your home and automobile. Despite the fact that we may feel secure, are we really secure. Keep these simple tips in mind to improve your home security.

• Always know your surroundings. If you are in a new subdivision, take a walk or drive around during the day and check out the area. Make a note of routes that might be safer to walk or drive. Also, make a mental note of normal parking routines and people in your area.
• Get to know your neighbors. Find out who lives where and what's been going on.
• Keep your windows and doors closed and locked when you are not home. Don't assume everything will be okay.
  
• Leave a few lights on. If you will be away for more than a day, consider putting a few lights on a timer.
• When going on vacation or a business trip, be prepared. Put lights on timers, cancel mail and newspaper delivery or arrange for it to be picked up. Have a friend stop by a few times to check things out. Don't leave clues that you are not at home.
• Remember to set your security system!
