Crime prevention tip
What seems like an inconvenience to most of us is a treasure trove to thieves. As the days get shorter, criminals welcome more hours of stealing under cover of darkness. Exterior motion-detector lighting interrupts potential thieves, and interior timers work well for
vacationing residents. If you like to keep your porch light on at night, there are LED light bulbs that automatically illuminate at dusk and turn off at dawn. The best home protection, day or night, is a watchful neighbor, but lighting options are also worth exploring as fall and winter come around.
