Properties with inadequate security features are five times more likely to be targeted by burglars. To deter break-ins, enhance window security with high-quality locks, such as sash jammers and deadbolts, and consider installing visible locks to discourage intruders.

Additionally, integrating a security system with alarms and motion-sensitive floodlights can further protect your home from potential threats.
