Recently thieves(小偷) broke into many houses and many things got lost. I would like to you some advice about how to keep your house safe from thieves.
First, let's about lighting. We should turn on the outside lights at night. Inside the house, it's a good idea to put automatic timers(自动定时器) on lights. When you are out, it will still look like someone is at home. If you live in an apartment building， make sure that there's good lighting in the garage and in the hallways.
Next, let's talk about locks. First of all, cheap locks are not safe. You should buy special locks to lock your doors and windows. Remember to lock your doors and windows, even when you leave for just a minute. Half of the thieves break in through doors and windows.
My next advice is not to lots of money in the house. It's wise to put your money in a bank. You should put marks on your other expensive things, like television, stereos and cameras, so that the police can return them to you if they are found.
Believe it or not, if you follow all of these suggestions above, your house will be .
