Theft Prevention Tips To help you avoid the unpleasant experience of burglary, we’ve created a list of practical theft prevention tips: • Light all exterior points of entry with permanent fixtures that are difficult to reach or tamper with. • Light the interior of your business enough that someone outside the building could see someone inside. • Install a fence or hedge – it’s your first line of defense. • You should be able to see through the fence. • Hedges should be wide, rather than high, and of a prickly, thorny variety. • Install window locks designed and positioned so they cannot be reached and unlocked after breaking the glass. • Install safety glass (glazing). It is highly effective at deterring break-ins. • Install motion detectors to sense movement inside the building. • Install entry protecting alarms to detect the breaking of windows and the opening of doors. • Install point protectors (such as pressure-switch mats) to detect when someone enters a restricted area, such as by a cash register. • Install a deadbolt lock/latch in each exterior door. • Lock overhead and receiving doors with high-quality padlocks.
