Crime Tips:

· Keep all doors and windows locked, even if you are just going out “for a minute.” If a window is left open a few inches for ventilation, pins or dowels should be inserted in the tracks to prevent someone from opening it more.
· Lock gates, garages, and sheds after each use.
· Store bicycles, mowers, etc. in a locked garage or shed, or secure them to some stationary point.
· Don’t leave notes on your door when you are away from home.
· Don’t leave keys in mailboxes or planters, under doormats, or in other obvious hiding spots. Leave an extra key with a neighbor.
· Learn to recognize who belongs in your neighborhood, development, or apartment, i.e., residents, workers, guests, etc.
· Know who’s at your door before opening it.
· Ask for photo identification before letting in anyone you don’t know. Check out the identification with the company or agency if you are suspicious.
· Never let a stranger enter your home to use the telephone. Offer to make the call yourself in an emergency.
· Don’t give your name, phone number, or whereabouts on your answering machine message. Never say you aren’t home. Just ask the caller to leave a message.
· Call the Altadena Sheriff's Station at 626-798-1131 if you hear or see something suspicious.
· Don’t discuss your assets or finances with strangers.
· Don’t keep large sums of money at home.
· Keep valuable papers, stocks, bonds, expensive jewelry, coin collections, etc. in a bank safe deposit box. Don’t store them at home unless you have a security closet or a safe that is well hidden and cannot be removed.
