• Avoid displaying and/or placing high value items close to windows.
Items such as computers, cellular phones, wallets, and purses can be
easily grabbed from open windows and also may be incentives for
criminals to try and enter the residence. Secure your valuables at all
times.
• Be alert and aware. Pay full attention to who is around when you leave
and return to your residence or office. If returning at night, leave a
light on inside as a visual deterrent.
