During the summertime people tend to\u00a0become more relaxed and less vigilant about crime. However, it is during the summer when we see an uptick in preventable crimes due to this very fact. Criminals know that people leave their windows rolled down on their cars making it easier to steal valuables left inside. During the summer months many families are on the go and leave the door to their home unlocked because they forget to lock it or figure they will only be gone for a few minutes. All it takes is a few minutes as you can see in this video. Follow these tips to prevent being a victim of crime during the summer.<\/p>\n
Lock the doors<\/strong> – Even if you’re only going out for a little while lock the doors. It only takes a couple of minutes for burglars to make off with your valuables. Statistics show that homes that are locked are less likely to be broken into. If a burglar has to break a window to gain entry into your home they will probably move on as they don’t want to draw attention to themselves by breaking a window.<\/p>\n Get a dog<\/strong> – Even a small dog is good at keeping your home safe. Homes with dogs are far less likely to be broken in to because criminals don’t want to be seen or caught and they don’t like pain. A dog, no matter how big, will sound the alarm when someone tries to gain entry. Most criminals will avoid houses with dogs.<\/p>\n
