Garage Doors
Be aware of leaving your garage door open. Bikes and other items have been taken from open garages. This has even happened
in day light while neighbors were in the back yard. If you are not in sight of your garage, close the door.
Car Doors
Lock your car door. We have seen GPS and other electronic items taken from vehicles.
Outdoor Lights
Lights outside at night help keep prowlers away and also help others notice an event. If you don't like a light that remains
on, a sensor light would be great for you.
