-Always lock your car. Leave vehicles empty, removing all electronics, purses, or other valuables, especially firearms. Do not leave a key in the car.
-Have lights on outside your home. Keep shrubbery trimmed to three feet or less. Know where your teenage children are at night.
-If packing your car to go out of town, try to park it in the garage.
-If you see or hear suspicious noises, call police immediately (a crack noise, a loud thud, breaking glass, squealing tires, crunching in the leaves, etc.). If your dog starts alerting during the night, look outside to see if it is a person.
