How to Avoid Home Break ins/theft


Over the past week we have had two claims filed one on a homeowners policy and another on a renters insurance policy for theft and burglary. In the News Miner August 24th there's four listing alone. Please take pre-caution and prevent break-ins and theft.
Here are some basics:
1. Lock your doors
2. Close and lock windows
3. Don't advertise valuables in the paper or online with your address
4. Keep your valuable private
5. Get an alarm (discounts on your ins)
6. Keep areas around house clear of bushes and keep well lit during dark times
7. Keep valuable in the home (don't leave expensive bikes outside)
8. Obscure windows with curtains or tint
9. Don't advertise on Facebook or other social media you're not home, tell your friends after you get back all the adventures you've been on.
