November 19, 1927 WINNETKA TALK 33 Rp | Burglar "Season® Brings a Warning From Police Chief A statement issued recently by the Kenilworth police department calls the attention of residents to the fact that burglars are generally most active at this time of year. Suggesting that burglaries are seldom attempted unless the householder is away, the police ask the co-operation of the residents of the village in helping to protect them and list a number of precautions as follows : Make sure that deliveries of newspapers, mail, milk, etc., are discontinued. Make certain that all "dooss and win- dows are locked. While locks do not keep out the professional burglar, they fre- quently deter the amateur. Do not draw all the shades in the daytime, Burglars sometimes "spot" a "job" during the day. Leave a light burning at least in one room on the second floor; it is also de- sirable to leave one burning on the first floor. Do not draw shades in the un- lighted rooms, but draw them in the lighted rooms. Do not leave your garage doors stand open when you go away, even if only for an evening. If you suspect that a car is following you home at night, instead of driving home, drive to police headquarters. Do not tack a note near your door bell indicating that you are away. Notify the police department when leaving your residence unoccupied, even if only for a day or evening. In such cases, special attention will be given to your home by our patrolmen, without cost to you. Do not hesitate to call the police on the slightest suspicion. They are making every effort to prevent crime, but need your co-operation.
