Ways to Keep Your Austin Home And Neighborhood Secure
You may be surprised to discover there’s a higher level of crime in your area than you thought. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to better protect your home and keep intruders away from your Austin neighborhood. Consider these suggestions:
- Meet your neighbors: Connect with nearby families and watch out for each other. Quite a few Austin neighborhoods have begun official neighborhood watch groups.
- Get a security system: When an intruder trips an alarm, it will dissuade them from creeping around your neighborhood. Exterior surveillance systems are among the most powerful deterrents, as criminals never want to be recorded.
- Avoid leaving valuables in your vehicle. Leaving your laptop, keys, or wallet in your car can encourage a break-in. Whenever possible, bring expensive items with you or place them out of view in the trunk or underneath a seat.
- Install motion-activated lighting: Light keeps prowlers at bay. By adding motion-activated lights near the garage or a back door, you can prevent a burglary before it starts.
- Let those you trust know when you leave town: Let a trusted neighbor know when you’re out of town and provide a front-door key or door lock code in case of an emergency. Don’t post travel plans on Facebook and other social platforms.
