TIP OF THE WEEK

Locking Doors Still Best Bet Against Burglaries — Use your locks – Even the best locks can’t protect you if you don’t use them. Do some yard work – Trim hedges and bushes so thieves can’t hide out. Know your neighbors – Neighbors who look out for each other are among the best, and least expensive, defenses against neighborhood crime. Secure your spare – Leave your spare key with a trusted neighbor. Never hide it on the property. Let there be light – Make sure all outside entrances, front, back and side, have good lighting. Stop mail and paper deliveries – A pile of newspapers in the driveway is a clear sign to a thief that you’re away from home.
