Keeping these four points in mind, think about the ways in which home security in
your Michigan home might be compromised, and then go from there by addressing some of your concerns. Use motion sensored lighting and timers to make your home look occupied even when it is not. If you are going out of town, have someone trustworthy come over and take in your mail and take care of your yard. Keep luxury items and other expensive belongings out of sight and away from windows at all times. If you have expensive cars, keep them in the garage with the door shut. Keep your doors and windows shut and locked, and put bars on low windows. And invest in a quality home alarm system.
