You should know your neighborhood
First of all, it is very important to have good relations with your neighbors because they can make sure that there is nothing suspicious in your household when you are not home. Also, you should know at least some of your neighbors and how things are in the neighborhood you live in, and if you see any suspicious activity, you should notify the police. You do not have to worry because the call can be anonymous and no one will know your identity. So if you see an unknown car that appears suspiciously in the neighborhood and is appearing to case the area, be prepared to notify the authorities.
“Oftentimes, crime can be discouraged by the mere presence of an alert neighbor. If something appears suspicious call the police. If a vehicle is repeatedly seen in the neighborhood, copy down the license plate and alert authorities,” says Douglas Kane, president of Risk Control Strategies.
