The Burglary Prevention Council says July and August are peak times for break-ins.

ADT Security Services recommends these steps to keep things safe on the home front:

• Put indoor lights on a timer.  Set different rooms for different times.

• Make sure shrubs and bushes do not block the line of site to the entries of your house.

• Tell a neighbor where you are and have them get the mail and paper.

• Keep curtains slightly open as if someone is home.

• Lock everything with a deadbolt, where possible.

• Leave a car in the driveway.
