Record the make, model and serial number of valuables and keep the records in a safe place. Engrave your property with your driver's license number. Report lost keys to your resident manager immediately. Check the area for suspicious-looking people before walking to or exiting your vehicle. Report crimes to the police and resident manager as soon as possible.
Most burglaries occur when a residence is empty.
Don't advertise that you are on vacation or even out for the day or evening. Use timers to turn on lights and other appliances when you're out. Draw curtains when you go out for the evening. Prop open exterior building doors. You are jeopardizing other people's safety, as well as your own.
