Home security is, as we all know, of the utmost importance. Who wants random people coming in and taking your stuff? I sure as hell don't.
But being able to afford a security system is a different matter altogether. When one is trying to support and feed a family, sparing money for a home burglar alarm may seem like a luxury.
So if you are having trouble scraping up the money to purchase an alarm, there is one fantastic way to deter criminals that is incredibly cheap:
Contact your local burglar alarm company and ask them for a sticker or a sign.
Almost all burglar alarm companies have stickers that go on windows and small signs that are staked in front of homes that indicate that a system is in effect. Studies show that potential burglars will often bypass houses that have visible indications that there is an alarm system in place. (http://www.crimedoctor.com/apartment0.htm) Your local burglar alarm company may be willing to give these stickers to you, or at least sell them to you for a very reasonable price. After seeing how well it works, you might even be convinced into buying one.
