All of these are tipoff s that will broadcast "No one's home" to anyone canvassing the neighborhood. In the evening, most empty homes can be spotted by looking for the dark houses. It's a known fact, light is one of the best deterrents to crime, yet most homeowners go out for an evening and leave their homes completely dark, or they'll go off for a weekend or vacation and leave the same light burning day and night. No light at all, or a light burning continuously, is a good giveaway that home burglaries throughout the country. This is increasing the national average of a burglary every 15 seconds, according to many law enforcement agencies. The same situation is true on Hill AFB, said Lt.' Col. Donald Trombley, Chief, Security Police. Colonel Trombley has asked all citizens to assist the Security Police in fighting home burglaries, especially as the warm weather and vacation season starts. "As a rule burglaries increase when the economy levels out, and this is aggravated by the high cost of gold and silver that is stimulating home break-ins,- " he said, "The increase in working wives has made empty homes and apartments on workdays easy targets for burglars. We're noticing too that there is an increasing number of garage burglaries, and remind citizens to keep garage doors closed at all times." no one is home. Timers effective for lighting A simple but effective means of having light in your home every evening, is by connecting an automatic timing device to one or two lamps. Such a timer will turn a lamp on early in the evening, then turn it off several hours later.

Notify your police department when you'll be leaving and how long you expect to be away. Cancel all deliveries, such as the milk, laundry, cleaning, etc. Also, be sure to discontinue the newspaper or arrange to have it sent to your vacation address. Have a neighbor, or your post office, hold all mail until your return. Arrange with a friend to mow the lawn and sweep your sidewalk once a week. Also ask him if he'll pick up any circulars or handbills that may be left on your porch. Leave your shades and blinds as you normally do. Closed blinds keep the sun out, but also make an effective screen for the burglar. Never advertise your departure with an item in the local paper. Give the story about your vacation to the newspapers after you've returned.
