Losses due to theft can be reduced by adhering to the following:
   a. Encourage employees to only bring items to work that are replaceable and have no
       emotional value.
   b. Purses left in unlocked, lower right hand drawers, and wallets left in unattended
       suit/coat pockets, are easy targets for ‘sneak’ thieves.
   c. Wallets and purses should be kept in a locked metal drawer when unattended.
   d. Lock-up the postage meter, cheque writer, and company cheque books when they are
       going to be left unattended.
   e. If petty cash on hand is over $500.00, use a money safe. Otherwise, use a metal cash box
       and lock it in a metal filing cabinet in the inner office at night.
   f. When a cash box or combination lock holder leaves the company, change the location
       of the cash box. This is to prevent theft by current employees who believe that the
       departing staff member will likely be ‘blamed’ for the theft.

Burglars don't like to be seen, so install lights that will light up the outside of your home. Motion detecting fixtures are a great idea, just be sure to install them where a burglar can't reach up to remove or break the bulb.

Plants and shrubs growing around your home can provide a great place for a burglar to lurk unseen. Keep your bushes trimmed so a burglar can't hide in them, out of sight.

Don't advertise that there are things worth stealing in your home. If you get a new TV or computer, don't just put the box out by the curb on trash pick up day and let the bad guys know what's inside. Break down the box or turn it inside out, so no one passing by will be able to make a shopping list.

Finally, make sure your home has a lived in appearance. Plug interior lights and a radio into timers that turn on and off at different times so your house looks occupied. If you're going to be away for a while - make arrangements to have your grass cut (or snow cleared), stop mail and newspaper deliveries and have someone pick up those flyers that seemingly show up every day. Getting a neighbor to park a vehicle in your driveway also helps make it look like someone is there.

Unfortunately, there's no guarantee that if you do everything suggested here that your home won’t ever get broken into. However, following these suggestions will definitely make it more difficult for a burglar to get into your home, and often that's enough to get him to try somewhere else.

Entrance doors are obviously the easiest way to gain entry. In many homes, a hard swift kick on the front or back doors will literally drive the door right out of its frame and the thief can just walk in and help himself. Most homes are originally equipped with inexpensive spring latch locks that have a short rounded locking finger that slides into the casing around the door. Upgrade your locks by removing what's there and installing dead bolt locks. Even better, double dead bolts locks (that need a key to be unlocked from the inside) provide the best security.

Good dead bolt locks have a "throw" (the metal finger that sticks out when it’s locked), about an inch long that actually goes into the door frame, not just into the light wooden casing around the door. Dead bolt locks are available at your local home store and they come with easy to follow installation instructions, but if you're uncomfortable changing locks yourself, a good handyman can do it for you.

Upgrading locks are a great start, but don't forget the screws holding the lock and door hinges in place. The strike plate on your door jamb and the hinges on your door are probably held in place with screws that are about 1" long - just long enough to fasten into the casing lumber. You can upgrade the strike plate with a much longer strike plate 10" or 12" and install it with 3" screws. These screws are long enough that they will go right through the door casing and into the 2 x4 or 2x6 framing lumber around your door. The longer strike plate will also accommodate 6 or 8 screws for fastening it. Remove the short screws fastening your hinges as well and replace them with the 3" screws, and your door will now be firmly fastened into the door frame. No one is going to kick that door out of its frame.

Double hung windows (up and down)
You can prevent these from raised form the outside by drilling a small hole through both the window casing and the window frame and sliding a nail painted to match the window into the hole. Simple easy and very effective

Casement and Awning Windows
Securing these designs requires installation of locks specially designed to prevent these windows being swung open. Locks are available that will either prevent the handle from being turned or fasten the window to the frame. The design that actually secures the window to the frame would seem to be more secure. Again these locks are available at your home store and are easy for a DIY'er to install themselves.

Basement windows
No matter what style of window you have in your basement they're always going to be a challenge to secure primarily because of where they're located. Break resistant glass and pins or locks securing the window to the frame will definitely help, but security bars are probable the best defense. Decorative bars that can be painted to match your home's trim are available and if you use them, your home won't look like a branch office of the state prison.
