In about the time it takes to read this sentence, someone can burglarize your home. No home is absolutely burglarproof, or even fireproof, especially when you leave for an extended absence. But you can increase the odds in your favour and leave your home with peace of mind by taking some simple precautions, Bégin by performing a security check of your property: • Examine shrubs and bushes near doors and windows. If they are overgrown overgrown and high, they provide provide as much privacy for burglars as for you. Trim shrubs regularly so that burglars can't camouflage their activities. • Check your exterior doors. Are they solid-core or metal, rather than weaker weaker hollow doors? A burglar can kick in a weaker door. Also, check the locks to ensure they are good-quality good-quality deadbolts. Locks that can be turned with a bent wire are useless. , • make sure all windows windows have some kind of Summer Seat Sale NISSAN All New for '98 ALTIM The Affordable Luxury Car PRICED TO SELL Sfie* ekm tSm rj 'QJJ 'US' • 2.4 L 150 HP Engine • Automatic Transmission •Air Conditioning • Power Windows • Power Mirrors • Power Locks • Cruise Control • AM/FM Cassette Stereo • 60/40 Split Seat • Many More Standard Features .Over$2400 less than a similarly-equippedf Honda Accord or Toyota Camry (Based on MSRP of Altima GXE, Accord LX and Camry CE with package #1) """ The Affordable as above plus Sport Sedan • ABS • 4-Wheel Disc Brakes • Alloy Wheels • Rear Spoiler • Fog Lights • 100 Watt AM/FM/CD/Cassette 6-Speaker Stereo • Anti-Theft System • Keyless Remote Entry System $ *1 MONTH I + TAXES $3,952 CASH OR TRADE DELIVERS $13,234 BUY BACK OPTION J& DOWN LEASE «346*/-- $857 DELIVERS PRICED TO SELL $ 2S g 43S* $ *#MONTH I +TAXES $4,037 DELIVERS $15,303 BUY BACK OPTION -€f DOWN LEASE > Air • Stereo • Air Bags • Tilt • 5 Spd, ' Power Steering and Brakes > 60/40 Split Rear Seat • Console ■ Many More Features CHILKOOT • Auto • V6 • Air • 4 Door • 4 WD • Power Windows, Locks, Mirrors • Cruise • AM/FM/CASS./CD Stereo • Tilt • Tack • Flares • Step Rails • Keyless Remote • Fog Lights ■ Many, Many More Features ...

Also ensure that any ladders in the garage are inaccessible to burglars. • Make sure you have adequate yard lighting. Install motion detector lights to cover areas .of possible entry. • Remove any large, decorative signs that have your family name on them. Some homes have these in the front yards. They're nice, but an invitation to burglars to look up your phone number and see if you're home. A burglar with a car phone and a phone book can even park in front of your home and call. • Keep large amounts of cash and jewelry in a safety safety deposit box at a bank. If you hide these in your home you must be very innovative. Professional burglars are good at their trade. Whatever hiding spot you think of, they'll think of too. • Engrave all your valuables valuables with your social insurance number or other coding method. This makes it hard for thieves to sell the goods and easier for police to find them. When you leave your home, even for short periods, periods, be sure to take the following following precautions: • Lock all windows and doors. • Use an answering device for your telephone - never reveal your name, whereabouts, or any other personal information. • Close drapes or blinds and turn off any electrical gadgets such as toasters, stove elements, irons, etc. - • Leave_ a : . number of lights bn as well as à radio or television, all on timers, so they turn on and off at appropriate times. • Never leave a note on the door or in the mailbox. • When you leave for more than a day, or for extended periods, take additional precautions: • Have a trusted neighbour neighbour or friend pick up the mail and any advertising left at the door, and have them put out a little trash for you on garbage day. • Arrange for someone to mow you lawn, water plants and flowers, or remove snow from the sidewalk and driveway. An unkempt lawn or fresh, undisturbed snow on your sidewalk or doorway is a sure giveaway that no one is home. • A good mental deterrent deterrent is to have small signs stuck to windows and doors with warnings such as "High Voltage on Entry", "Area patrolled by Guard Dogs" or • "Area Protected by Security System." These signs don't have to be true. The idea is to confuse the burglar and make them reconsider the risk of entering. Alarms systems An alarm system adds an extra measure of security security to your home. There are many types of burglar alarms on the market. The best and most expensive arc the hard-wired ones which arc professionally installed and monitored. Wireless systems which arc professionally monitored monitored by a security company company can protect the doors and windows as well as the interior of the home. While an alarm system may not always prevent a burglar from entering your home, it will minimize the amount of damage and theft that occurs since the intruder will usually flee when the system sets off.
