An easy way to make your home feel safe is to lock your doors - if someone is scouting your home, they will see that you always use keys to enter. Invest in an external motion sensor system to trigger a main external light to light up your front step, which is an easy to afford option - lights scare prowlers off. With that in mind, a few extra lights to illuminate your house can not only make the house a little safer, but also accent the house and any landscaping very nicely. SOURCE: Security Tp Central
