Came here to say something similar to this. The importance of a safety plan is crucial if you have little ones. Staying prepared is the best way to ensure your safety during a tragic event. My kids know what to do during a break in, and we feel safer that way…

Having a safety plan is such a under-rated point. My family has a plan on action and contingency plans in case a robber or intruder enters our home. It is so important that I taught my kids this as it can be life saving and it’s better to prepare than to not. Keeping the BMW in the garage is also something else that we prefer to do. No point in keeping it out in the open, why risk it?

You don’t want to drive around fancy cars, but make sure you don’t leave your other fancy “toys” in plain view either. A few years ago, my brother had an ATV stolen from his garage. Other people in the neighborhood had simliar thefts, though no homes were broken into. I would think that having things of value outside, being it cars, tools, equipment, what have you would lure in crooks. Keep your garages and sheds locked as well!

Safety plan is an excellent idea. I like the idea of a stashed cell phone. I never thought of that. Thanks for the advice!

Knowing your neighborhood is good but it doesn’t always stop an invasion from happening. I had friend has were held hostage in their home. She was able to escape seen they went to quite down the dogs. This is the reason why I got my system!

Yeah, my boyfriend has a fun in a safe next to the bed. By the time he would get it out, they burglars would get me. He doesn’t see this though.

These are excellent tips! The thought of home invasion is really frightening so it’s really important to set up a home security system that would deter criminals. I’m all for having a safe room or panic room that can be accessed fast in case of home invasion. Dogs are great to have and will make invaders think twice and can give you just enough time to call the police and defend yourself.

Great tips! I wholeheartedly agree with all of them! Especially #1 and #5. So many people are afraid to appear paranoid or racist or something like that these days. But suspicious activity should always be taken seriously. And having a dog (especially a vocal one) is a great thing, even for your own peace of mind. Our dog is very sensitive to any unfamiliar sounds in or around our home. I always know she will alert me to anything suspicious.
