Sri Lara Joint Security Services: Prevent burglar and stay safe.

Taking just a few steps can make a big difference in keeping your home safe from burglary.
Here are a few tips:

lock your doors and windows every time you leave the house, even when you’re just out in the garden
hide all keys, including car keys, out of sight
install a visual burglar alarm
install good outside lighting
leave radios or lights in your house on a timer
make sure the fences around your garden are in good condition
store valuable items (including passports, driving licences and bank statements) out of view
hide cash and wallets away
secure bikes at home by locking them to an immoveable object inside a locked shed or garage
keep ladders and tools stored away; don't leave them outside where they could be used to break into your home

If you have to walk alone at night take extra care. Stay on roads that are well lit and relatively busy.
To stay safe, you can also:

plan your route in advance
avoid short cuts that involve alleyways or walking across parks or commons unless they are well-lit
if you're carrying a bag, try to have it across your chest and keep your hand over the fastening
be aware of your surroundings and stay alert to what’s going on around you
be careful with your electronics; talking on a mobile phone, listening to an MP3 player or carrying a laptop bag shows thieves that you have something to steal
don't carry important documents or credit cards that you do not need
avoid using cash machines at night
only take your wallet out when you need to
if you think you are being followed, cross the road or go into a shop and stay there until you're sure you're safe
