Depending on your schedule and budget, you might not be able to do all of the items on the list -for example, some people don’t have time to get to know their neighbors and others can’t afford a professional security system, plus many people can’t or don’t want to get a dog. And, there’s no way to ensure your home will be 100% safe from crime. Even so, doing as many of these as possible will minimize the likelihood that someone will break in to your home, making your home safer for both your possessions and the people living in the house.
