Suggestions for Protecting Your Property
by Randee King on Dec.24, 2025, under Neighborhood Watch
from Lakewood Neighborhood Watch
*Turn your exterior lights on at night
*Lock up your vehicles and all of the exterior doors to your home, including your garage, storage shed or other structures
*Be discrete about what you share on social media, especially travel plans
*Don’t put out boxes from gifts or expensive purchases on the curb
*Create a spot on your porch to conceal delivered packages, behind a bench, an urn, or planter, so that they cannot be seen from the street
*Having a doorbell camera & security cameras do help deter crime
*Get to know your neighbors, this is the best security system there is
*If you’re leaving for more than a couple days ask a family member, neighbor or friend to pickup your mail, or contact the Post Office to hold your mail and the same with newspapers
All of these suggestions will not get rid of crime, but they sure will help!
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAVE AN AWESOME NEW YEAR !!!
