IF RESIDENTS DON'T WANT BURGLARS COMING TO THEIR HOMES, THEY SHOULD LEAVE THE LIGHTS ON OUTSIDE AND ONE OR TWO INSIDE... NOW, IF MONEY IS AN ISSUE, WHICH IS THE CASE FOR MOST SENIORS, THEY CAN HAVE A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN COME OUT AND INSTALL "MOTION ACTIVATED" LIGHTS THAT WILL KEEP BURGLARS AWAY... AN ALARM, ALONG WITH ITS SIGNS OUTSIDE AND STICKERS ON THE DOORS AND WINDOWS WILL ALSO KEEP THE BURGLARS AWAY... PEOPLE MUST REMEMBER THAT IN THIS ECONOMY THERE ARE MORE BURGLARS OUT THERE - AND MOST OF THEM ARE MOTIVATED TO BURGLARIZE YOUR HOME BECAUSE OF A DRUG ADDICTION... THEREFORE, TAKE THE NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS WITH LIGHTS FOR THE EVENING HOURS AND GET AN ALARM ON YOUR HOME!!!!!!

ALSO: KEEP YOUR WINDOW BLINDS OR DRAPES CLOSED WHEN YOUR NOT HOME AND ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT... WHEN A BURGLAR CANNOT SEE INTO YOUR HOME, THEY MIGHT NOT TAKE A CHANCE OF WALKING IN ON SOMEONE SLEEPING, OR A HOMEOWNER WITH A WEAPON... BURGLARS ARE EVEN BREAKING INTO HOMES DURING THE DAY, WHEN NOBODY EXPECTS IT, WHICH IS WRONG... IF YOU'RE HOME DURING THE DAY, PEOPLE SHOULD ACTIVATE THE ALARM'S DOORS & WONDOWS FEATURE; SO IF A DOOR OR WINDOW IS OPENED, THE ALARM WILL SOUND AND POLICE WILL RESPOND... IT'S ALWAYS BETTER TO HAVE AN ALARM AND NOT NEED IT, THAN TO NEED IT AND NOT HAVE IT................
