  My Dad always checked every door and window to make sure they were locked before he went to bed. &nbsp;We called him perimeter man. In his final years wjth dementia he still did it out of muscle memory. &nbsp;So establishing safety habits early stay with you.

  Gravel under all windows. Years go everyone did this. You can’t walk on it silently. So people and animals hear it.

  I appreciate your tips to keep my house safe. &nbsp;One thing I have that you didn&apos;t mention, but that makes me feel very safe day and night is my 85-pound dog, who does not like strangers! &nbsp;She is a protective breed (which I didn&apos;t realize when I adopted her as a pup). &nbsp;I know that she discourages strangers from coming near &quot;her&quot; property and I appreciate her &nbsp; very much!

  Neighbors don’t always know each other these days. Sad.

  Let me tell you that u don’t need a stranger in your house to have a burglary. Have your family allow a friend to enter your house and in a few minutes they walk out with your diamond necklace that you notice weeks later it’s gone and you can’t do shit about it. Because you have no proof they took it. It’s happened to me. Cameras all over the house outside…

  I practice what you&apos;ve mention for years and no attempts, but if that door opens its guns up

  I fell asleep at some point watching this. After reading the Comments, I’m glad I did. Instead of watching, I got lots of useful info by reading the Comments. Thanks to all of you!

  Another fun thing to do is put talk radio on timers. Talking in the kitchen during the daytime and talking in the bedroom in the evening until 10:00 PM. Along with the lights, it works.

  Take a metal mug with handle, put a bunch of forks in it, and hang it on door handle. Someone turns 5he handle - the mug with forks falls down making huge noise

  My father-in-law still has this type of neighborhood where his neighbors notice unknown people.
