I think on the whole, people should be more proactive about crime.Why on earth leave anything of value in your car? Â Locked, unlocked, parked on the street or in your driveway or garage, it is just not really a smart thing to do. Â I never have anything of value in my car, and if I did, I would for sure at least, the very least, lock the doors. Â I just don't get why people leave things in their car that matter or are expensive. Â It is like putting a sign on your car saying, rob me! rob me!Same with our homes. Â Lock your doors. Â We installed the keyless locks on our doors years ago. Â They are wonderful. Â The doors all stay locked, and we just put in a code and don't have to worry about keeping keys with us. Â And we use our alarm. Â If nothing else turn the chime on. Â And once a month test your alarm. Â Good thing to let people know you have one and use it. Â It isn't rocket science. Â
@Fallon: Great information! Also Harbor Freight sells wireless outdoor motion alarms for like $20 each. They just hang on a nail and can be placed at the end of your driveway, on a tree near your entrances, on a fence, gate, etc....wherever someone might pass by to get to your home. A two-note chime inside the house alerts you to someone's presence so you can better protect yourself and your property.
