Each year criminals steal tens of billions of dollars from our homes and cars. Sure you carry homeowner's and auto theft insurance. Even so, if someone steals your stuff you'll still lose time and some money. So let's take a look at burglary prevention. We'll focus on how to keep it from happening and will leave how to collect on insurance and get your things back for another time.
Police stress two things in crime prevention.
Make it hard for the thief to enter your house and take your things. And also make it easy for him to get caught in the process of the theft or trying to sell your property. It's important to be able to see your house from the street. Burglars don't want people to see them prying open a door or window. That means that you should trim bushes and shrubs so that people walking or driving by can get a clear view of your home.
