As you may know there has been a string of "Distraction" type burglaries in neighboring cities. The following are some tips you can follow if you find a stranger at your door...

1. If you’re not sure who the person is behind your door, don’t open it! No one said you're obligated to open the door.
2. If the “con” is so convincing, call the police, a neighbor or friend nearby to come along and check the perimeter of your home, or check on the visitor before opening your door.
3. If you are successfully lured outside of your home, make sure to lock the door behind you. Most importantly, make sure all entryways leading into your home are locked as well. This includes doors, windows, and the garage.
4. If you ever do find yourself in the position where you may have to help someone, refer them to a younger neighbor, or assist them through a window or closed door. You can also call a neighbor or friend nearby to come and help.
5. If you’re unsure about the nature of one’s visit, DON’T OPEN THE DOOR!
