My daughter has been home from college for a week or so, (spring break), and over the weekend she and some friends went into the city to a very fashionable club, in a very unfashionable area.

They took a couple of cars to this joint, and had no problem getting in. They boogied it up until the wee hours, and then decided to head for home. My daughter and her party retrieved their car, and headed out. The other group had a bit of a problem.

It has been reported that burglaries increase during the summer due to the having people away from home as they are on vacation. Protect yourself from being the victim of a break-in by going through some of these guildelines. The first step you should take is to do a safety walk-through of your home inside and out. See your home as though you were a potential burglar trying to get in. Try to find out any security breaches.
