No, you don‘t have to put on those funny glasses. Just follow the three D‘s â€" deter, delay, and * Change, values : .. _ 3D‘s detect. Police say these are the best ways to repel a potential burglar. The. threeâ€"D‘" s are related. By strengthening physâ€" ical barriers such as the doors and winâ€" dows, you deter the crime. Increasing the time it takes to break in â€" the delay â€" is another deterâ€" rent. And this delay also ups the odds the burglar will be detected by you or other witnesses. To truly enhance your secuâ€" rity, it‘s important to think beyond the basics. But let‘s start with some simple steps to disâ€" courage burglars. * Your "hardâ€" ware" locks, doors, windows, and frames â€" should be of high quality construcâ€" tion and be equally secure at each entry point. If it takes a burglar longer to break in than planned, he‘ll likeâ€" ly move to the next target. : * Once you have strong locks, use them. Many breakâ€" andâ€"enters involve only an enter, no break, because peoâ€" ple forget to lock up. For sliding doors, a horizontal bar in the tracks adds extra protecâ€" tion, but some slidâ€" ing doors can still be lifted out of the tracks. To complete the protection picâ€" ture, drill a hole through the track and metal frame of the door, and then insert aâ€"â€" nail through both parts. * Don‘t hide an extra set of keys outside.

Give them _ unwanted attention with a motionâ€"sensitive flood light. At a minimum, keep outside lights on at night.

It‘s easier to trace. harder to dispose of, and it makes it easier to prosecute thieves. BEYOND THE BASICS Those are the basics...now for the advanced course in burglary prevention tips. Breakâ€"ins are easy enough withâ€" out extending a helping hand â€" or a leg up. Don‘t leave out ladders or anyâ€" thing else someone can climb, like a TV tower that‘s been unused since you got cable. A burglar can use these to get to and through an upstairs window. Cut branches that extend to upper windows. While you have your â€" gardening tools out, trim hedges and bushes; burglars love their cover. One more note about climbing. Some burglars are adept at going floor to floor in a highâ€" rise via the balâ€" conies. Even if you live in the pentâ€" house, lock up your balcony. Many balcony doors are sliding â€" so the horizontal bar and nail in the tracks drill can reduce the door‘s play and prevent it from being lifted off. And to bolster any door or winâ€" dow, replace the glass with polycarâ€" bonate. Submitted by the Insurance Bureau of Canada.
