family cleaning up leaves in yard

Fall cleanup season is underway. It means a little more work for homeowners, but it also means we’re seeing a few more break-and-enter reports.

Homeowners often leave their front doors unlocked or open while working in the yard or basement, unaware of the risks. Unfortunately, it only takes a moment for thieves to slip in and grab what they want.

If you can’t see your door, make sure it’s locked. This small step can make a big difference in keeping your home and belongings safe.

Stay vigilant, stay secure.
