It is important to assess how vulnerable your home is. If you have fewer security measures than your neighbours do, you are likely to top burglars' popularity lists. Corner properties, buildings situated far from others, poor street lighting, and vacant land in the vicinity increase the risk.
Walk around your property and look out for the following signs of poor security:
-Burglar proofing that is not firmly attached;
-Broken window-panes affording access to window catches;
-Badly installed locks on doors;
-Keys that can be pulled through an open window using wire or a stick; and
-Ladders left lying around.
-Once you have identified the vulnerable areas, set about correcting the situation:
-Eliminate the gaps in your security system;
-Make sure there is adequate lighting;
-Have an alarm installed or acquire guard dogs if necessary; and
-Consider having walls or fences erected.
