Is Your Home an Easy Target for Burglars?

• Protecting yourself and your family isnt quite
  as simple as locking all your doors and windows
  when youre not at home there are in fact,
  several things that you might be doing (or not
  doing) that can make your home an easy target for
  burglars
• Having an active and open social media presence
• Unless you have strong privacy settings on your
  social media accounts, its possible for anyone
  and everyone to follow your posts and see what
  you plan to do, where you are and who youre
  with. While for many this can be harmless, for
  others it can tell criminals when your home might
  be empty, or even tell them where you are if they
  were planning to stalk or attack you.

• Neglected yard
• While yard work might be tiresome, a neglected,
  dirty or overgrown yard can be a sign to burglars
  that nobodys home, and even if this isnt true,
  you wouldnt want a burglar breaking into your
  home while youre there.
• Your home is poorly illuminated
• A home shrouded in darkness is always going to be
  more of a target for criminals than one which is
  well illuminated, so if you dont want to have
  lights on all the time during the hours of
  darkness, you should at least consider installing
  motions sensor lights at strategic positions
  around your home.

• You dont always lock your doors and windows
• Unlocked doors and windows are an open invitation
  for burglars and intruders, and if they can
  easily get inside a property without having to
  smash glass or locks to get in, they will. While
  you might think that locking doors and windows is
  something all homeowners do, youd be surprised
  how many dont, and how many leave their homes
  vulnerable as a result.
• Theres no home security system
• Detecting motion, monitoring for breaking glass,
  and sounding alarms home security systems are a
  valuable deterrent for crime, and even if your
  security system isnt working, a broken or dummy
  system thats clearly visible, may be enough
  alone to prevent a burglar from targeting your
  home.

• When combined with smart home technology,
  upgraded high security locks and motion sensor
  lights, a security system can give you and your
  home the added protection it needs.
• Just by taking a few simple steps, such as
  limiting social media posts that tell others of
  your whereabouts, keeping your yard tidy and
  making sure your locks are in full working order,
  you can make your home much less of an easy
  target for criminals. And for more tips and
