Garage Doors
Just wanted to remind you to make sure your garage door is closed! There have been a few times I have stopped or called to tell people that their garage door is opened. Unfortunately, a neighbor had their garage & cars ransacked, because they forgot to close their garage. There are people who simply look for these "crimes of opportunity". By following a few simple steps we can combat & prevent crime. As you are going to bed for the night, make sure you check windows, doors & garage doors to make sure they are closed & locked. Also, turn on all of your sensor lights, porch light & side lights. If you happen to awaken in the night, look out your windows to check for suspicious behavior. And if you have that panic button on your key ring, keep it on your nightstand & if you see or hear suspicious behavior, push the panic button & it will scare people off. If we "look out for each other"...we can all help one another!

I Agree, we need to do everything we can to deter would-be criminals. I have installed several sensor lights on my house and plan to get a perimeter sensor that will go off with a loud siren if it is breached. I think that we should all arm ourselves as well as we can against intruders. Anything can be a weapon, a board with nails in it, a baseball bat, a kitchen knife. My concern is neighbors that have lights on their house but NOT on sensors. They leave them on all night long, it is as bright as an airport runway in the back of their house. I am sure that this annoys the other neighbors all around them. What can I do to get them to stop this? Can I just go over an break the lights, or should I tell them that they are keeping me awake? Are they being a nuisance?
Thanks for any help,
Mike
I have attended a few workshops for NW about crime prevention & all of the police officers say the same thing, "turn all your outside lights on." For instance, I have my sensor lights on the most sensitive setting...Better safe than sorry. Maybe you could try to talk to them directly.
