PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
from the City of Kirkland Police Department about
RESIDENTIAL BURGLARY
When the weather turns warm, windows and doors are kept open more often to
let cool air in and families may go on vacation leaving the home unoccupied.
Residential burglars often take advantage of the opportunity to easily
enter a home with unlocked doors and windows. Although most residential
burglaries happen when no one is inside, criminals are known to take the risk
even when someone is at home. Criminals only need a few seconds to steal
electronics, jewelry and other valuable items. The Kirkland Police
Department offers the following crime prevention tips to protect your residence
from burglary:
How can I reduce my chances or prevent a residential burglary?
Lock doors and windows.
Do not leave windows open, even on the upper levels.
Reinforce windows and sliding glass doors with secondary locks or dowels (rods) that fit securely in windows. Dowels can be made of wood, PVC pipe or metal.
Do not hide extra keys to the house.
Look at your residence like a burglar would. If you can get into your house without a key, so can the burglar.
Photograph and record all of the serial numbers of your valuables. Keep the list and photographs in a safety deposit box. Good for insurance claims for fire and earthquake also.
When on vacation, have a trusted neighbor take care of your residence, including picking up your mail and newspaper.
Trim all hedges and shrubs so they are not covering windows. Overgrown plants provide good hiding places for burglars and is an indication that you may be away from your home.
Having a dog or an alarm system may deter some criminals.
Start a Neighborhood Watch Program to help neighbors look
out for one another and to report suspicious activities.
Here is a note for the neighborhood.
"Recently I was sitting at home hanging out with my
friend
and her son when we saw a man wearing a "health inspector"
vest and a
"safety inspection" hat walking through our back patio and
towards our
yard. He saw us and immediately turned around, and when I went
outside to try to talk to him he was already going around the corner
and ignored me. I went around to the front door and saw him
pulling
out of the driveway in a white truck with a canopy (I think) and a
"health inspector" sticker and driving away. The back of our
house is
all windows and, having just read your mail, I had a feeling he might
have been checking out our house or planning to break in but saw that
we were home and went away.
I called the police and of course they can't be sure what his
intention was but said that it was certainly possible. If it had
been
a legitimate inspector he would have likely gone to the front door and
introduced himself to explain what he was doing. I just thought
I'd
pass it along in case anyone else in the neighborhood sees this person
- they should call the police as well and see if we can get to the
bottom of it."
