Have you noticed recently that home invasions are on the rise?

I believe it is the state of the economy.

What do you think?

Is it a stretch of bad luck?

Is it drug related?

Or is it just easier to take from someone and share the wealth?

Not only are they kicking in doors, but they are carrying weapons and innocent people are being injured or killed.

Please take steps to protect yourself & your family

1. Don't leave your garage door open

2. Make sure your home alarm is working properly, if not have it inspected.

3. Make arrangements with your neighbors to watch out for one another

4. Have the police department telephone number handy and programmed into your phone

5. If you have a dog he is your first line of defense. He will let you know if someone comes around.

6. Make sure you have good locks on your doors and windows

7. Be sensible. Don't take chances.

Be sure to inspect your home and stay safe.
