• Make sure you have sturdy, metal or solid wood ​doors at all entries into your home, and that sliding glass and similar doors are properly secured.
• Install and use well-made deadbolt locks (1 1/2 inch throw or greater) on all exterior doors.
• Make sure all exterior doors have wide-angle viewers that can be used by everyone in the house. Install two viewers at different heights if necessary.
• Light up entry doors so that you can tell who’s there. Motion detector lights, flood lights, or similar lighting can help brighten up the property.
• Trim the shrubbery around your doors and windows so crooks don’t have a place to hide.
• Instead of hiding keys around the exterior of your house, give a key to a neighbor you trust.
• Consider an alarm. They can be a good investment, especially if you have valuables in your home.
• Just in case, keep an inventory of your property handy should you ever have to report any of your property stolen. 

• Always lock the doors and take the keys when you leave the car, even if you’ll be gone for “Just a Minute.” As many as one in five stolen cars have the keys in its ignition.
• Make sure someone knows where you’re going and when you plan to be back.
• Approach your car with your door key already in hand. If anyone nearby makes you nervous, leave and get help.
• Lock up the doors as you buckle up your safety belt. Keep windows rolled up.
• Is someone following you? If you think so, head for the nearest busy brightly lighted area. 
• Write down the license number, make and model of the car. Call 911 on your cell if you have one, or get to a convenience store or gas station personnel to help you.
• Car Disabled? Pull over to the side of the road, put on your flashers, and put out flares or reflective markers if you have them. Tie a light-colored cloth to your antenna or door handle. Stay with your car. Use a cell phone to call for help. If a stranger offers to help, ask him or her to call police to assist you.

Create an inventory of the valuable items. Taking a complete inventory of your home can seem like an overwhelming task. Here are some tips on conducting a home inventory:

• Don't try to inventory all at once, break it down, room by room
• Categorize items in each room
• Start with smaller items, the bigger items are harder to miss
• Use an app (which backs up to your mobile cloud account). Apps allow home owners to notate all necessary descriptions and information as well as allows taking a photo of the item being inventoried. Many home inventory apps are available in the iOS and Google Play stores.
