Episode 38-Home Security & Safety

Home Security & Safety

Summary: Is your home secure? Do you know the most vulnerable points of your home for an intruder to get in? In this episode we share lots of security awareness, safety tips and encourage you to come up with a plan to keep you and your stuff safe!

Security Awareness: One of the most dangerous thoughts a homeowner can have when it comes to a burglary is “It will never happen to me.” You let your guard down and BAM you’re a target. Don’t let that happen to you. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of “not getting your home broken into.”

Catherine shares about her camper being broken into: Yes, it’s true, criminals will actually break into vehicles, campers, garages, sheds and homes. They’d probably break into an egg if they thought they could sell the yolk. 

Tracy shares how a criminal took her last $300: A stressful day became even more stressful after moving, visiting our friend’s sick child in the hospital and forgetting my purse at a restaurant. Of course when I returned to get it, the purse was there but the money was gone.
