How To Keep Your Philadelphia Home And Neighborhood Secure
You might be surprised to see there’s a higher level of criminal activity in your area than you expected. Fortunately, there are ways you can better defend your home and keep thieves out of your Philadelphia neighborhood. Use these tips:
- Become familiar with your neighbors: Get to know the people living around you and keep an eye out for each other. Numerous Philadelphia neighborhoods have begun neighborhood watch groups.
- Invest in a security system: When a prowler trips an alarm, it will discourage them from lurking around your neighborhood. Outside video cameras are among the most effective deterrents, as criminals don’t want to be recorded.
- Don’t leave valuables in your vehicle. Leaving your computer, keys, or wallet in your car can lead to a break-in. If you can, take valuable items with you or hide them away underneath a seat or in the trunk.
- Add motion-activated lights: Powerful lighting keeps lurkers away. By putting up motion-sensing lights near the garage or a rear door, you can halt an intrusion before it starts.
- Let those you trust know when you leave town: Let a trusted neighbor know when you’re out of town and provide a front-door key or door lock code in case of an emergency. Avoid posting on Facebook and other social media sites.
