- Don't put up a nameplate outside of your house with your full name. A burglar can use this information to look up your number in the phone book and call to see if you are home.
- Don't leave a note on the door or in the mailbox telling a friend/family member that you aren't home.
- Don't leave spare keys in an obvious place such as the mailbox or under the front door mat. This makes it very easy for a burglar to rob your house quickly without forcing entry.
- Don't leave cash and handbags in view in your home.
- Don't leave any doors unlocked when you are at the other end of the house or in the yard.
