Crime Prevention Tips:
1. Ensure your overhead garage door is fully closed before driving away.
2. Close shed(s) and/or garage overhead door when unattended for a period of time, thereby, not advertising items which are stored inside
3. Install motion sensor security lights
3. Install security camera and advertise it with a visible sign
4. Use frosted or tinted glass on your garage and shed windows
5. Install a manual or automatic overhead garage door lock
6. Lock and secure all man doors to/from the garage (including the garage door to the residence) and outbuildings
7. Avoid leaving your garage door opener in your vehicle. At the very lease conceal it and do not leave it in plain sight.
8. Before going to bed, verify that all doors and accessible windows are closed and locked.
