You don’t need to invest in an expensive home alarm system or install an unsightly barbed wire fence to keep out burglars. Sometimes a couple easy steps are all you need to secure your home.
Install some dummy surveillance cameras.
Here are some DIY ideas that turn webcams into security cams.
Always remember to remove flyers from your doorstep.
Never let flyers or menus build up on your doorstep — you risk appearing like you're on vacation. And if you are on vacation, have your neighbor pick them up for you. Burglars sometimes case a home by planting a flyer and checking to see if someone picks it up.
Put bumper stickers on your car.
Anything that makes your car more easily identifiable is a good deterrent. And remember to keep it messy if you can.
