Over 20 tips, warnings and suggested actions improve your home and personal security: visitors and past contractors or service providers ARE potential burglars; piled newspapers - even for a few days announces 'on one's home'; personal safes are a good deterrent - as long as they are bolted to the floor; a loud TV or radio is often a better deterrent that an alarm system (see www.faketv.com, a site offering an electronic device for $35.00 that simulates the flickering glow of a TV in the evening and simulates that someone is home; and the two things that burglars hate the most - loud dogs and nosy neighbors. Check out the link above for the entire article and other information.
PS: don't miss the discussion about protecting yourself without a gun by using Wasp Spray! It is inexpensive, easy to find, and more effective than mace or pepper spray. The cans typically shoot 20 to 30 feet; so if someone tries to break into your home, "spray the culprit in the eyes". That will provide you a chance to call the police; maybe get out and most importantly maybe save your life.
