Well now that summer is here and we are all out enjoying the great weather, please do not become lazy or forgetful in your security. Thieves do not take vacations, in fact they work even harder in the summer due to the easy pickings!
Keep your house locked up properly when not at home. I know that we all like the option have leaving a window open for cooler air and that breeze but that open window just beckons the thief! If you do have an alarm system you can have "venting" contacts added to your windows, this way you can still arm your alarm system and leave the window open for air.
Back yard fun calls for your attention to your security as well. While in the back yard this summer please be sure to arm your security system, just bypass the back door to allow access in and out of your house while keeping the remainder of the secure.
Finally - vehicles - keep them locked and be sure to hide or better yet remove any valuables that are in site. I even recommend opening your glove box and center glove box to display them being empty. Keep in mind that even spare change could invite a thief.
