Keep a “call police” sign under the front seat of your car.

If someone signals that something is wrong with your car, drive to

the nearest service station to check it. Do not stop and get out of

your car.

Never leave an extra key under the door mat, above the door, under

a flower pot, etc. Leave one with a trusted neighbor.

Have a light on in the room where you are and have a light on in a

room where you are not. It gives the impression of more than one

person being at home.

List your name on the mailbox and in the phone book with first

initial and last name only.

Give your home a lived in look by arranging for pick up of papers

and mail in your absence.

Never answer questions on the phone until you are certain of the

caller’s identity.

Teach your children to answer with a simple “hello.” Do not

answer by saying the name of the family.
