Assessing your home for weak spots


Many burglars are actually amateurs simply looking for a weak spot in your home. They scope the place out a bit, get to know your routine, and the proceed to the actual robbery.

One of the things to look out for are shrubbery that might serve as good cover for a burglar. Especially those near windows and doors, shrubbery should be trimmed so that a burglar cannot have ample cover and can be easily seen by others. At night, try to leave a couple of nights on, especially in strategic places. You can opt for floodlights with motion detectors so that burglars will think twice about trying to enter your home. Make sure that all your locks are sturdy and secure. Lastly, always try to make your home look occupied.
