Narrated by Raymond Burr, this film shows how homeowners can issue 'invitations to burglary' by letting newspapers pile up, by failing to have their lawns mowed, and by using insecure doors and locks.
Abstract
The film notes that burglaries have increased 100 percent in recent years, that residential burglaries compose over half of the total, and that daytime burglaries outnumber nighttime burglaries three to one. The film instructs viewers about buying the most secure locks for doors and windows, using security procedures for opening doors, choosing alarm systems, marking and inventorying household valuables, using neighbors for burglary protection when the homeowner goes on vacation, and following specific procedures after a burglary has occurred.
