问题    Even if you can’t afford a security system, you can take a few minutes to make your home a little safer. Some relatively simple steps will greatly decrease the odds of a break-in.
   To keep out a burglar, the first thing to do is to secure the windows. Don’t leave windows open during the night whether you’re home or away. Use a pick-proof locking device for your windows. Make sure the frames are solid. If you’re beyond the earshot of your neighbors, they won’t hear the glass breaking. Consider installing a plexiglass sheet for the more accessible windows.
   Your doors should also be secured. If you don’t have a peephole, install one in the front door. If you have one, make sure that you and your family are in the habit of using it. Don’t open the door to anyone you don’t know, especially at night. If the peephole is out of the reach of your children, keep a stepladder or stepping box by the door for them to use.
   Now, a few tips on how to protect your valuables. Don’t leave your valuables (stereo, computer, jewelry, etc. ) where they can be seen from the window. Make a valuables inventory. Keep a record of your expensive and personally significant items— not just a listing, but a photographic or videotape record if possible. Store this inventory at another location. Use an engraving pen to mark these items with some kind of personal identifying information, such as your initials, in an inconspicuous place.
