Burglary is common, but is also quite preventable with these tactics.

To complete this How-To you will need:

A dog
Motion detector lights
A security system
Strong doors
Impact-resistant doors and windows
Neighborliness
A wooden dowel

Step 1: Get a dog

Get a dog. Even small dogs will bark and create noise that a burglar will want to avoid.

Tip: Sleep with your car keys next to your bed. If you hear someone trying to break in, hit the car alarm button.

Step 2: Install motion detectors

Install motion detector lights outside of your home.

Tip: Lock your doors and windows when leaving home, and make sure your curtains and blinds are shut.

Step 3: Install security system

Install a security system that suits your needs and budget.

Step 4: Install strong doors

Install strong doors and make sure they are properly mounted with the hinges inside.

Step 5: Install impact-resistant glass

Install impact-resistant glass on all doors and windows.

Tip: If impact-resistant glass is out of your price range, a wooden dowel will keep windows from being pried open.

Step 6: Be a good neighbor

Maintain good relationships with your neighbors and ask them to pick up newspapers and flyers when you are away.

Step 7: Use your police department resources

Use resources available at your police department, such as information on burglary prevention and advice about what to do in your neighborhood.
