According to the FBI, over $463 billion worth of goods is stolen each year!! Here are six signs your home might be an easy target and how to change that:

1. Lack of Alarm System:
Burglars are 300% more likely to target homes without security systems. Invest in electronic alarms or even consider a furry friend; they can deter potential intruders. Traditional CCTV or smart doorbell cameras provide added protection.

2. Mail Piling Up:
An overflowing mailbox signals an empty home. Have someone collect mail or hire a yard service during extended absences.

3. Excessive Tree or Shrub Cover:
Overgrown landscaping can conceal burglars. Keep bushes trimmed for clear sight lines to windows and doors.

4. Outdated Doors or Windows:
Weak entry points are easy targets. Invest in sturdy doors with deadbolt locks and reinforced frames. Consider window bars or security film.

5. No Outdoor Lights:
Darkness is a burglar’s ally. Install automatic outdoor lights or motion-sensor lights. Smart bulbs on a timer give the illusion of an occupied home.

6. Isolated Properties:
Isolated homes are prime targets. If you live in such a location, enhance security with cameras and motion-sensor lights.

Protect your haven!
