Quick Tip of the Week - Door to Door
A common modus operandi for residential burglars is that they knock on the door of a house. If someone is home, they move on. If there is no one home, they go into the back yard, break into the house through a back door or window, enter, and steal at their leisure. Respond through your door in a gruff manner. DO NOT open the door to any stranger.
