Content: 3. Keep things on lockdown
This is one of those annoying things parents like to nag about, but we agree with Mom and Dad on this one. Don’t leave your dorm or apartment without locking up—no matter how quickly you plan to return. And don’t stop there; you can lock up everything from your laptop to your mini fridge. Next steps: If you live on the first floor, make it your practice to close and lock your windows —the same goes for first-floor doors and windows in a shared house or apartment. Keep blinds and curtains closed. No reason to give thieves a front-row seat to your goods. Add a contact sensor to drawers, the closet door, or the mini fridge.
