Taking opportunity out of the equation
Bad guy + opportunity = Loss of your property
Unfortunately, we cannot take all the bad guys out of the equation. But by following some simple security solutions, you can take the opportunity out of the equation.
See our Home Security Checklist below:
Vehicles
- An unlocked vehicle is an open invitation. Lock your car even if you are making a quick stop at a convenience store.
- Close your car windows, thieves have tools to unlock your car through an open window.
- Do not leave valuables visible in the car. Take them in with you or lock them in your trunk.
