• The police have offered tips that would prevent break-ins:
• For those leaving their homes - lock all doors and windows and ensure that all possible entrances to the house are blocked;
• If possible, install a burglar alarm to alert the neighbors that a break-in is in progress.
• Do not leave notes outside the house to indicate absence;
• Keep some appliances like the radio on to give the impression that someone is inside the house;
• Ask a trusted neighbor to keep watch over your house. (FREEMAN)
