5 Ways to NOT attract the attention of criminals

Warning: Criminals don't always break in when your house is unoccupied.

CRIMINALS do not necessarily invade your home when you are not there so be aware and look at the following points which attract criminals to your home.

1. No Alarm System: Criminals will rather not risk it when they see a beam in your yard or know you have an active alarm system.

2. Doors and windows which do not lock properly: When they see an open window or door, they will enter your home.

3. When it looks obvious no one is home: Criminals watch your every move. When you are not there they will try to enter. Make it look as if there is someone home.

4. No contact with neighbours: If you know your neighbours, they can help if something goes wrong.

5. Don’t brag about your contents: When you brag about things in your home, it might be heard by the wrong ears.
