Ways to Keep Your Columbus Home And Neighborhood Safe
You might be surprised to discover there’s a higher level of criminal behavior in your neighborhood than you thought. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to better defend your home and keep criminals away from your Columbus neighborhood. Use these recommendations:
- Become familiar with your neighbors: Get to know people living nearby and watch out for each other. Numerous Columbus neighborhoods have started neighborhood watch groups.
- Get a security system: When a thief sets off an alarm, it will discourage them from lurking around your neighborhood. Exterior surveillance systems are among the most powerful deterrents, as criminals never want to be recorded.
- Don’t leave valuables in your vehicle. Leaving your laptop, keys, or wallet in your parked vehicle can lead to a break-in. Whenever possible, take expensive items indoors or place them out of view beneath a seat or in the trunk.
- Use motion-activated lighting: Light keeps burglars at a distance. By putting up motion-activated lights adjacent to the garage or a back entryway, you can prevent a break-in before it begins.
- Let people know when you’re gone: 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. Don’t post travel plans on Facebook and other social media sites.
