A home break-in can be devastating. Not only do you lose your sense of security and have personal property taken, but your home insurance premiums may also increase. At LeapFrog Insurance, serving San Antonio, TX and the greater half of the state, we want to provide you with a few tips for protecting your home from a break-in. Here are a few of the ways you can protect your home from a thief. 

Keep Valuables Out of Sight

One of the best tips for protecting your home from a break-in is to keep valuables out of sight. Shut your blinds or curtains and ensure your valuables are not exposed in the open for all to see. If you get a new television or computer, break down the box instead of simply putting it out on garbage day as is. 

Secure Pet Doors

Another tip is to secure your pet doors. Pet doors allow your animals to come in and out, but they can also allow burglars easy access to unlock your door. When you are away, find a way to secure the pet door so that it does not open and close. 

Use Automatic or Motion Detector Lights

The last tip is to use automatic lights or motion detector lights. A burglar wants to go unnoticed. If your home is brightly lit, they run a higher chance of someone seeing them or noticing them. Keep the exterior of your home well lit with the right lights to prevent break-ins.
