Protecting Your Home Crime is one of the major social problems today. But, there are steps you can take to reduce your chances of becoming a victim of crime. The two greatest reasons for crime are carelessness of the victim and skillfulness of the criminal. Most criminals are amateurs. Don't let carelessness be the reason for becoming a victim.
Criminals look for the easiest opportunities.
Find those opportunities and correct them before the criminals find them for you. Many burglars enter a house through a door or window that was not locked. Keep doors locked at all times even if your are in the backyard or have to run a quick errand. The typical burglary takes only 9 minutes. Deadbolt locks on all exterior doors are a must.
