- Call in all suspicious people seen in the neighborhood.
- Don’t leave packages where they are visible from the street. Ask someone you trust to hold it for you until you get home.
- Carjackers are looking for easy, unaware targets. Don’t sit in your car in the driveway, distracted by your phone, especially at night.
- Know your neighbors. Have their phone numbers in case you need to contact them.
- Know your neighbor is out of town? Keep an eye on their house to make sure no one is there that shouldn’t be.
- Keep your garage door closed. Very easy for someone to quickly steal something and run out, or worse, enter your home.
- Turn on porch lights at night.
- Add motion sensing security lights around the outside of your home. Especially in the driveway over your vehicle.
- Lock your vehicles. We have so many thieves in the area that go driveway to driveway, especially at night, trying vehicle doors for an easy steal. Always park in your garage if possible.
- Add locks to the interior side of gates.
- Install security cameras and/or a smart doorbell like Ring or Arlo.
- Make sure gates are closed after your yard service leaves.
- Make sure dogs have updated tags and microchip. So many get loose and we want to get them home.
- Cancel any newspapers that may pile up in your yard like the Dallas Morning News Briefing. To cancel, call the Briefing Customer Care team at (214) 977-8333 or visit dallasnews.com/briefing. Delivery will cease in two business days or less. A pile of newspapers can make your house look vacant and make you a target for a break-in.
