Q&A

If you suspect someone has been going through your garbage, tear up papers with personal information before disposing of them and be cautious about what you throw away.

Should I be concerned if my dog goes missing?

While a missing dog does not guarantee an upcoming robbery, it's important to stay vigilant and ensure the safety of your pet. Additionally, consider the possibility of dognapping and take necessary precautions.

Why would someone drain the gasoline from my car?

Robbers may drain the gasoline from a car to prevent their potential victims from returning home earlier. If you notice your gas tank is suddenly empty, ask someone to keep an eye on your house until you arrive.

What should I do if I see a new janitor in my building?

Be cautious if you notice a new janitor without being informed by the cleaning company. Contact the company to verify the change and validate the identity of the new cleaner.

Why would robbers leave a broken window?

A broken window may be a signal left by robbers to determine if the owners are at home and if the alarm system is functional. If you find a broken window, immediately call the police and ensure your alarm system is working.
