2. Change the locks:
Changing the locks is a practical way to make sure your home is safe, even if the lock seems to be working fine. It's better to be safe than sorry if someone has already tried to open your lock. For extra safety, you might want to get more advanced locks or put deadbolts.
3. Put in a security camera:
Putting in an obvious security camera or a doorbell camera can keep people from breaking in and give you peace of mind. Cameras on these devices can record any suspicious behavior, and the fact that they are there can even keep thieves from breaking into your home.
4. Let your neighbors know:
Tell your friends what happened, especially if you live in a neighborhood where everyone knows each other. If renters or thieves are going after homes in your area, everyone needs to be very careful. Tell your friends to check their locks and let you know if they find anything strange.
5. Get in touch with the police:
For safety reasons, you should report anyone who you think has messed with your lock or is watching your home to the police. They can look into it more and keep an eye out for any strange behavior in your neighborhood.
6. Think about getting a home security system:
It might be a good idea to get a full home security system now if you don't already have one. A lot of new systems come with alarms, motion monitors, and tracking services that work around the clock. These can all help keep your home safe and give you peace of mind.
