•Leave outside lights on after dark or have outside lights controlled by a motion detector. Make sure there are no dark areas around the house, garage, or yard in which a person could hide. Street lights are generally inadequate for illuminating your property.
•Check lights regularly and replace burnt out bulbs.
•Trim bushes to less than 3 feet to eliminate possible hiding places, especially near windows and sidewalks.
•Trim tree canopies to at least 8 feet to allow visibility into your property.
•Replace solid walls in front yards with open fencing to eliminate hiding places and make climbing more difficult.
•Install a wide-angle peephole in your front door so you can look out without being seen yourself.
