The average property loss in a burglary exceeds $1,000, not to mention the damage from vandalism. Before you head out the door, take a moment to secure your home, using these security tips. Keep all doors and windows closed and securely fastened. Doors should have deadbolt locks with 1-inch throw and reinforced strike plate with 3-inch screws. All windows should have window locks. Secure your sliding glass door. Place a metal rod or plywood in the track (0 comments)
