• Don’t put hair dryers, curling irons or other grooming devices out when not used.

Check your locks
In more than 40% of residential burglaries, the criminals came in a not closed door or window.
Each outward door must have a door locking bar with a one-inch throw. In case you have just moved into your new apartment, replace all locks, as you are never sure who may possess    old keys. Besides, do not conceal the keys in mailboxes, pots or under doormats. You may give a duplicate key to a trustworthy neighbor instead.
