[quote=Anonymous]I have lived in SFHs for most of my life, in a variety of suburban neighborhood settings. Father and husband are both military so I've been home alone A LOT. Nothing more than a few trivial incidents (unlocked cars rummaged through; magazine subscription scam) have ever happened. Get a Ring doorbell, a real or fake security camera, motion sensor lights. I also use the Home app on my phone to turn interior lights on/off at will. Lock windows and doors at night and before you leave for the day. Don't answer the door to people you don't know. Make friends with a neighbor who will keep an eye on the property if you're away for an extended period so that flyers or newspapers don't pile up. This is just my own paranoia, but I also don't put signs in my yard--no political signs, no "my kid is a Wakehurst graduate", not even "hate has no home here"--nothing. I don't want people just walking by to know anything personal about my family or our beliefs. No need to inadvertently poke the crazies. [/quote]
