[quote=Anonymous]Lock your car doors. Lock your house doors. If you have sliding ones to the backyard, put a broomstick in the bottom track. Keep your front yard/porch free of temptingly portable items: don’t leave your laptop on the chair when you go in to use the bathroom, have your kids put away their bikes in the evening. For people at the door during the day, if possible I prefer to open the door to show that I’m around. But I’m very comfortable cutting off their spiel with a firm “Sorry, not interested.” I make sure they hear the deadbolt click back into place. Keep the shrubs around your windows cut back. Get to know your neighbors. Interact with them in real life, don’t just doomscroll on NextDoor. If you’re really worried, most police departments offer a free home safety assessment. They’ll walk around and give you advice very similar to the stuff I listed above. [/quote]
