Light: Burglar’s Worst Enemy

Let me let you in on a little secret, burglars don’t like the light. Let me let you in on another little secret, burglars are more likely to try to break into a home without a light on than one that does. Why? See secret #1! So, what this means is that if a burglar is scoping out your neighborhood and they see you with a light on and your neighbor without a light on, which one do you think they’ll try to get into? Fortunately for you (unfortunately for your neighbor), it’s your neighbor’s home. Your porch, your yard, and every single entrance to your home should be well lighted - that way burglars know they’ll be seen if they go there.

Now, what if you’re concerned about the electricity use of these lights on all the time? Put them on timers, put them on a sensor/photocell, set it up such that the lights will come on periodically to put burglars on notice.
