I plan to put some led lights outside. Cheap fix in my opinion. Just need to research waterproof housing.

Provide family members with their own keys to the house. This is safer than leaving the key in a “secret” place, one that can be discovered by any person who takes the time to watch your movements when you leave your home and come back at night.(pnp-ncrpo)

If you and your family are going on a vacation, ask a neighbor to watch your home, or ask a relative to stay in your home while you are away. An empty house is a prime target for criminal elements.

Also the fact that I cannot bring the pet when the family travels, I always asked a relative or 2 to visit us and stay in the condo to take care of the house and the pet. Of course I have to pay for the round trip airfare and all my relatives are in Cebu.

The last time I dormed my maltese in a pet hotel for a few days, she was so traumatized when we picked her up she did not eat for a couple of days and was so lethargic. My wife feared that she was 'raped' by other dogs as she is still a virgin (spayed on her 5th month). :D

Keeps porches, yards, and all entrances to your house and garage well lighted. Leave lights on inside your house when you go out for the evening.

install led flood lights with motion sensors, it could deter intruders somehow. though your dog/cat could trigger it to open suddenly so better keep them off within the sensor's perimeter at night.

I've got a couple of these installed in strategic areas in our place. However, instead of floodlights,- I wired alarms in each of them....

(Problem is when I turn them on,- the startup/trigger turns on for about 30 seconds....and so, may disturb our neighbors for a while....

Keep a record of the important information (especially make, model number, serial number) of all household facilities and equipment, such as TV, radio, video cassette recorder, refrigerator, VCR, washing machine. Have an inventory of your jewelry and other precious items and documents like birth, baptismal and marriage certificates.

Much better if you can keep important documents and jewelry in SDB.

Teach your children not to talk to strangers or accept anything from strangers, especially in school. Should they be approached, tell them to report the incident to school authorities.
