Want to protect your home from unlawful entry? You may not have the means to invest in an expensive alarm system, but you can definitely use cheap and practical methods around your home to deter burglars from breaking in when you're not home.
The best thing you can do is to make your home seem inhabited, even when you're only gone for a little bit.
