An open or unlocked garage
An unlocked garage is a sure way for a burglar to reach the rest of your home. Not to mention that most people keep a lot of things stored in their garages, so even if the burglars do not manage to enter your house, they will still find some items to steal.
Security experts advise locking the garage door whenever you leave your home, but also when you’re not away. Moreover, disable the automatic garage door openers to avoid being opened by intruders.
Unlocked storage spaces
People keep many items in their storage sheds, from ladders to hammers, wires, pry bars and many more other tools that guess what? Could easily be used by burglars to break into your home. Basically, by giving them free access to a host of tools, you are making their jobs a lot easier.
To prevent intruders from finding useful tools that enable their break-in, secure your tools after you’ve finished your work with them and lock your storage sheds and similar buildings.
