Here are some tips ensure your home is safe and protected.

•    Be particularly vigilant during holiday season because burglars know there are girls in the house and homeowners are more distracted than usual.
•    Lock yourself out (leaving someone inside) and see if you can, then so can a professional thief.

•    Make sure all outside entrance are well lit at night.
•    When you go out for the evening, leave on few lights as well as a radio to an all- talk radio station.
•    Don’t leave valuables in the obvious places, such as the drawer; instead, invest in a safe or leave your valuables at your bank.
