Break-ins and burglaries are common in the Chicagoland area throughout the year, so it’s always a good time to start thinking about ways to bolster your home’s security. In this video from Consumer Reports you’ll learn some ways that you can beef up security around your home without spending a fortune. Some of the best ways to improve your home’s security include keeping your doors and windows closed and locked at night, installing motion-activated flood lights around your home, and making it appear that someone is home while you are on vacation.
