Things to consider… Shrubs – trim to be no taller than 3 feet Trees – trim branches up to 6 feet off the ground. Plant thorny shrubs beneath windows. Install security lighting around the exterior of your home. Utilize motion sensor lights. Solid front door vs. hollow-core door. Select doors with less glass. Invest in a good lock – single vs. double cylinder (bump proof) Lock windows, garage doors and basement doors Secure your garage door opener. Close blinds Make your home look occupied when you are not there Stop mail, newspapers, etc. when you are traveling. Don’t advertise with your garbage by putting out a boxes of
expensive items like flat screen TV you just bought. Don’t put your name on your mailbox or key chain.
