Keep your possessions safe from thieves with these tips.

To complete this How-To you will need:

Motion detector lights
Locks
A locksmith
A security alarm system
A safety deposit box or home safe
An engraving pen
A trusted neighbor
Bolts or wooden dowels (optional)

Step 1: Eliminate burglar hiding places

Clear bushes and shrubs near your house, except for those with thorns. Install motion detector lighting near doors and windows.

Step 2: Secure all locks

Secure locks on windows and doors. Hire a locksmith to install additional locks on windows and deadbolt locks on doors.

Tip: Eliminate outside hinges on doors to reduce ease of entry for burglars. Place bolts or wooden dowels in the tracks of exterior sliding doors.

Step 3: Install security alarm system

Install a security alarm system.

Step 4: Secure valuables

Secure valuables by renting a bank safety deposit box or installing a quality home safe.

Step 5: Mark valuables with engraving pen

Mark valuables with an engraving pen. Use a unique and safe identifier like a driver's license number.

Step 6: Ask trusted neighbor for help

When you're out of town ask a neighbor to pick up mail and newspapers; shovel snow or mow grass; and put garbage cans out and back in on collection day.

Tip: Give a neighbor or family member the house key. Do not hide the key outside the home.

Step 7: Take common sense precautions

Don't tell strangers about your daily routines or valuables in your home. Position all valuables away from windows.
