Do not leave your shades or draperies closed during the day when you are out. Drawn window coverings are a solid clue that no one is at home. 2. Create some source of noise in the home before you leave (an empty house is a silent housej. For example, place a radio, with the volume turned low, at the front window. 3. Leave one or two inexpensive toys or garden tools scattered about. Do not leave unlocked bicycles outside (they are a clue to the carelessness of the homeowners, which may extend to other precautions they neglect to take as well). 4. Always close and lock garage doors before you drive away; an empty garage is a strong sign of an empty house. 5. Never leave a note in the door for anyone explaining that you are out to lunch, have gone shopping, etc. -- this advertises the fact that you are not at home. 6. Never leave valuable furs, clothing, rugs, etc. on a clothesline unless you are there to watch them - this is dangling bait before a thief. 7. Never hide a key outside your home or apartment - under a mat, over a door, beneath a flower pot, etc. If there must be another key available, leave it only with a trusted neighbour. 8. Keep the shrubbery trimmed near your doors and windows so that they are visible from the street. 9. Keep your grass cut, your leaves raked, etc., indicating that your house is well cared for. 10. Always have lights (preferably m more than one room) turned on when you are away at night (an inexpensive timer will accomplish this automatically). 11. If you are a woman alone, you may want to keep a light m your bathroom all night long, indicating, even when you are home, that someone is awake. 12. Never leave small valuable articles (watches, jewellery, cameras, typewriters, cassettes, etc.) on window sills, on shelves near windows or in places easily visible from the outside. Money, stocks, bonds and as many other valuables as possible should be kept in banks and safety-deposit boxes. 13. Empty your mailbox or arrange to have it emptied as soon as mail is delivered. If possible, replace it with a slot type in the door so that mail will fall inside. 14. Get to know your neighbours. They want to be safe too, and you can help one another by being alert to anything unusual that occurs in the area. 15. If you live in an apartment, and if there is a tenant's association m your apart¬ ment building, join it, but don't depend on it alone for your security. TO BE CONTINUED.
