If you have not heard, home invasion robberies are rampant and people are experiencing bands of deranged punks kicking in doors, terrorizing a family, stealing valuables, and sometimes taking a life. No city is immune from attack, it's happened in the nicest neighborhoods, to the nicest people.
Criminals are pretty dumb and go for the easy targets. Here are 10 things you can do to your home or business to help protect your loved ones, you're possessions and your property:
1. Keep your windows and doors locked at all times; even when you are home.
2. Always keep your drapes or blinds drawn, even at night so they can not see inside.
3. Make sure that any window air conditioners are not easy to pull out from the outside. You can bolt them in place from the inside.
4. Trim the bushes and trees that are in front of windows so people can't hide there.
5. Remove old, easy to open windows with secure windows that use laminated glass that is resistant to breakage. If you can't afford them, you can install inexpensive window breakage detectors that will sound an alarm.
6. If you have a basement, install new heavy-duty windows. Older windows are easy for a criminal to enter.
7. Update your locks and deadbolts with new security hardware.
8. Replace entry doors with reinforced doors with little or no glass for maximum security, and make sure the locks are robust also. If you can't afford that, install inexpensive door opening alarms.
9. Replace your sliding glass patio doors with reinforced laminated glass and dual locking hardware with a dead bolt for maximum protection.
10. Get a few of those "Protected by Smith & Wesson" stickers from a gun store, or online to put on all your doors and windows to send a firm message to the punks that there could be trouble at this house, and to move along.
