Keep your home secure. At this time of year it is dark earlier in the evening and thieves like darkness. 1. When you go out, make sure all doors and win- dows are secure, even if you are only going out for a short time. Thieves can be in and out in less than five minutes. 2. Give your home the lived in look. Put lights on timers. Leave the radio or TV on. If possible have a ROAD BUILDING EARTH MOVING ~ RR. #1 Acton 853-6960 car in the driveway. Keep garage doors closed and locked. _ 3. Ifyou are going away for an extended period of time make sure newspapers, mail, etc. are picked up. Have someone check the house. Make sure the drive- way and sidewalks are shovelled. If possible leave a car in the driveway, and have someone move it on a regular basis. These are just a few reminders. In most cases com- } mon sense will prevent you from being a victim.
