10 Things That Paint A Bullseye On Your Home


10 Things That Paint A Bullseye On Your Home


Okay, so once again I was reading an article.  This time it was in YAHOO FINANCE about things thieves look for when they are casing an area to rob.  Some of them can be quite sneaky so I will just mention a few of the high lights.

For those of you with an entrance into your home from the garage:  close and lock your garage doors!  If a thief can enter the garage and shut the door from inside, he has plenty of time, out of sight of your neighbors, to break into your home and rob the place.  According to the article, there are garage door openers that randomly choose codes and change them frequently.  sounds like a good investment.
We used to do this when I was a little girl:  If you have a sliding glass door, put a dowel in the channel.  This will stop a burglar from opening the door wide enough to either get through or take out the dowel and open the door.


And lastly, but certainly not least:  DO NOT POST YOUR VACATION PHOTOS ON Facebook or any other social media site until you are back home.  Burglars search for just this type of thing and are ready to come on over and take your things before you get home!  It's especially dangerous if you are leaving the kids home by themselves.  Can you imagine the scene when the burglar enters your home?  Terrifying!


If you want to see the other seven on the list, please click on the article link above.  In the day and age, and with our disintegrating economy, you can never be too careful!
