Nine out of ten household burglaries are preventable. The following security tips can help protect your home:

Install and use locks on all doors and windows. Use deadbolt locks on doors for greater protection. Always lock basement windows, garage doors and sliding glass doors.
Notify dependable neighbors and the police if you will be going away on vacation. Have a neighbor or friend pick up the mail and newspapers while you are gone.
Never leave extra keys in obvious places, such as under doormats or in mailboxes.
Do not keep large amounts of cash or expensive jewelry in the house. Consider storing small valuables in a safe deposit box at the bank.
Keep shrubbery and trees trimmed so as not to obscure windows and doorways.
Use automatic timers to turn lights on and off in different rooms at designated times. Install exterior lights that illuminate the areas surrounding the house.
Prepare in advance for a possible loss by taking an inventory of your property. Maintain a list of all valuable items, the date of purchase and the original price. Make it a practice to record serial numbers and save purchase receipts. Take photographs of or videotape your personal belongings. Keep your inventory or videotape in a place where it will not be stolen or damaged by a fire.
