Tips on Preventing Home Burglary During the Holidays

Tips on Preventing Home Burglary During the Holidays:

1. Keep gifts out of view from the outside and keep your curtains closed in the evening. ⠀
⠀
2. Check your front door for packages and bring them indoors right away.⠀
⠀
3. Lock your doors and windows. 1 in 4 homes are broken into because the homeowner did not lock up. ⠀
⠀
4. Be careful what you post on social media. Avoid providing details about upcoming trips or gifts you have purchased. ⠀
⠀
5. Dispose of packaging carefully. You can tip a burglar off by not concealing packages properly or leaving them outside long before garbage day.⠀
⠀
6. If possible, keep the exterior of the home well lit both at the front and back of the house. Burglars are reluctant to approach homes that are well lit for fear of being seen by neighbours. ⠀
