All of us hope that we will never be in a situation in which we will have to use self defense to preserve our personal safety, the personal safety of others, or our material possessions. But in today's ever changing world it seems more and more likely that we may be put into a situation in which we will have to defend ourselves.
What will you do if that happens to you? Although TV shows and movies seem to show action movie heroes executing fantastic moves that will disable entire armies, that may be a remote reality even for highly trained martial artists. Plus, in an emergency situation your adrenaline levels will spike and it may be difficult to perform some of the more nuanced movements that are taught in many self-defense classes.
There are a few basic strategies, including physical moves as well as the use of self defense devices, that you can utilize to defend yourself against multiple attackers. Keep in mind that your primary goal should be your safety. Utilize these basic skills to escape from attackers and get to a secure location.
1) Use Your Opponents' Numbers To Your Advantage
You may be outnumbered, but chances are that your attackers are not trained in working together to fight a single opponent. Use physics to your advantage. You can push one attacker into the others, for example, to buy yourself a few extra seconds of time.
2) Divide and Conquer
Use the age-old strategy of divide and conquer. If possible use natural terrain or impediments to separate your attackers, preventing them from working together against you. Fences, walls and doorways are great urban obstacles that you can use to separate your attackers. If you can't separate them physically by using a barricade of some sort, you may be able to utilize one attacker against the others by knocking them off balance.
3) Know Your Pressure Points
If you do have to physically strike out at your attackers, try to aim for the sensitive areas of the face, throat and neck. You can also aim a kick or punch at the ankles or knees of your attackers. Demobilizing one or more of your attackers may give you the advantage that you need to escape from harms way. Self defense classes or DVDs may be able to provide you with additional physical strategies. However, in general being up against several attackers, especially when they may be armed, is not a situation you're likely to escape unharmed unless you have self defense training or are carrying a self defense device.
4) Use Pepper Spray
When it comes to confronting multiple attackers, this is perhaps the most valuable self defense product out there. The wide spray pattern of many pepper spray canisters will allow you to incapacitate several individuals at once. Other devices, such as a stun gun, must be used on each attacker individually, though they are quite effective as well. The key to escaping any attack unharmed – whether you're against one person or several – is to be as prepared as possible beforehand.

Many people become worried when they are in a new city, a dark place, or an urban metropolis. To help make themselves feel safer, they buy pepper spray. This self defense device can be a great deterrent if you are ever attacked. In fact, it may even safe your life, protecting you or a loved one from an assailant.
However, there is a dark side to pepper spray. Sometimes people will use it incorrectly or in the wrong places. Using this self defense product in the wrong way may be very dangerous and can cause major problems. Before choosing to purchase pepper spray, and long before you use it, take the time to learn when it might be appropriate to use pepper spray – and when it might not be a good choice.
Pepper spray should only be used to defend yourself, a person or animal, or your property. The intention of pepper spray is to be able to take down a human attacker – even a full grown adult male – for several minutes. It should never be used to discipline a child. High-strength pepper spray has unknown effects on a child. Even if the physical effect is only temporary, the psychological effects can be permanent and be more painful then the pepper spray's immediate effects. Although it might seem like common sense not to use the spray as a discipline tool, in fact there are cases every year of pepper spray being used to discipline a child. This cruel, dangerous practice is illegal.
Another common misuse of pepper spray is to discipline a dog. Although pepper spray – and similar sprays, such as bear spray – can be used on dogs that are attacking, it should not be used as a discipline method. The effects of pepper spray on dogs or cats has not been studied, and you could cause permanent physical harm, or even kill your pet. Using pepper spray on an animal can also be a criminal offense. If you are caught using pepper spray on an animal you will likely be charged with cruelty to animals. Stick to tried and true methods meant specifically for pet discipline.
Pepper spray should never be used on a human who presents no physical danger to you. This might seem obvious, but every year there are cases of people using pepper spray as a joke or 'for fun.' Kids may find pepper spray and use it on each other, or accidentally use it on themselves. Even adults have been known to play around with pepper spray, but it's important to remember that this self defense device is not a toy. Keep your pepper spray away from children and anyone else who might think it is fun to play with the device.
Always remember that while pepper spray is a great tool to protect yourself from a real physical threat, it should not be used in all situations. This device is meant for adults or animals who are physically attacking – not for discipline purposes or for fun.

Around the world, thousands of kids attend martial arts schools and remember it being a lot of fun. While the goal of martial arts training is often recreation, what about learning martial arts as a self defense strategy?
When it comes down to it, martial arts presents an interesting method for self defense. Though it's not for everyone – and indeed, perhaps a pepper spray or a stun gun would make a better choice for some – it's also very empowering to know that you have the physical skills to fight back against an attacker. For the confidence factor alone, learning martial arts is a useful tool in your self defense arsenal.
Taking classes as an adult, though, can be challenging from a purely logistical standpoint. There's working into your day, driving over to the school, the added stress and shyness of being around other students, and the competition with the belt ranks. Plus, what if you don't have that kind of money to shell out continually? In addition, the focus of such schools is not on learning real-world self defense skills, and what you learn there might not be applicable to a situation in which you're being attacked on the street. Though martial arts academies certainly have their place, it may not be best to go there for self defense techniques.
The answer lies in instructional DVDs. These programs can be watched and practices in the comfort of your own home. It's all on your time, your convenience, whenever you want. The one downside that has been noted is that there is no one forcing you to watch the DVD. If it really is important to you to learn self-defense, however, your ambition, drive and motivation will be easy, without the need to go to class each week. And after all, martial arts is all about self-discipline. The best part of all: a DVD would only cost a fraction of the cost of martial arts classes. You can get the same benefits of self defense classes without killing your budget.
An even better benefit is the wide variation if fighting styles and the ability to learn them all with ease with just several DVDs, instead of having to travel from school to school and pay extra money for extra classes. These programs focus on real-world self defense skills taught by experts who know how to best get 'regular people' ready to defend themselves, rather than focusing on the routines necessary to move up in the belt color ranks. You don't have to be a black belt to learn these skills and have the confidence to put them into action.
If you don't have the time or money to attend martial arts classes, learn in the comfort of your own home with instructional DVDs. Whether you plan to defend yourself using solely these strategies, or want to combine physical moves with the power of a stun gun or pepper spray, learning how to defend yourself confidently is a valuable skill.

Long before electric cars were for adults, they were made for kids. That's right, the hybrid cars just breaking into the market today come decades after the first battery-powered ride on toy for kids, created as a 'modern' version of the classic pedal car, which first hit the sidewalks of America not long after the first automobiles hit the road. Those kid-sized electric cars were simply the logical follow-up of pedal cars, which became wildly popular in the 1950s and 1960s.
Ultimately, if you're interested in buying a pedal car or electric ride-on toy for your child, you may have a lot of things to consider. The primary point of decision should be whether or not you want your child to get a little bit of extra exercise. These days, what parent could turn that down? With childhood obesity rates on the rise in the United States, it's probably not a bad idea to promote a little bit of extra exercise for your kids.
If you're not making your decision primarily on behalf of your child's health, you may also be interested in making the decision based on what is best for the environment or for your pocketbook. Batteries of all sorts have to be thrown away, thus damaging the environment. Besides, if you have to keep buying batteries for your child's electric car, that car becomes the gift that keeps on taking.
What about the aesthetic look of the toy? While both types of ride-on toys – those powered by a battery, as well as those powered by your child's feet – are made to resemble classic cars of all varieties, from a muscle car to a John Deere tractor. In recent years there have also been a variety of electric and pedal cars that capitalize on various movies and TV shows. Both electric cars and pedal cars are designed to appeal to your child's preferences. There's no doubt that you'll be able to find one that fits your child's desires perfectly.
Another consideration is how often your child might use the car. Battery-operated toys, as any parent knows, will eventually wear out. Plus, they're often made with quite a bit of plastic, unlike pedal cars which are typically made with all-metal construction that is sure to stand the test of time. In fact, there are plenty of vintage pedal cars still around that date to the 1950s, but the same can't be said of the first battery-powered versions of the 1960s and 1970s. If you want a toy that your child might even be able to pass on to their own children in a few decades, then a metal pedal car makes a wise investment.
Ultimately, there seem to be more advantages to the pedal car than the electric car. Logically speaking, it seems more appropriate to purchase a pedal car for your child than an electric car. Considering the ongoing cost of batteries, the environmental impact, and the loss of physical exercise for your child, it seems a much better choice to invest in a pedal car than a battery-operated one.

How will you fight back against a violent attacker? Some people spend a ton of money on martial arts training. Others just carry around a can of pepper spray. Still others think it's best to conceal a gun or knife. All of these will certainly help you fight back against an attacker, but some methods work better than others. Why not try a self defense devices that combines several tactics – giving you the best chance of success?
For those looking for a multipurpose self device product, Tornado Pepper Spray might just be the perfect choice. Combining several tactics into one, the Tornado uses strong 10% pepper spray with a 125dB personal alarm and blinding strobe light. These last two features knock out an assailant's vision while alerting others in the surrounding area to call 911. And it's all the size of a cell phone, so it's very easy to conceal. You can't beat that.
The great thing about the Tornado is its ease of use. Lightweight and quick at the draw, no one can react faster as you press the button that in less than one second releases eight 1-second bursts of standard pepper spray reaching up to 15 feet away. Meanwhile, the alarm creates ear-shattering noises, leaving no doubt that someone will hear of the danger. A bright strobe light illuminates the immediate area to help you see to fight back, while temporarily blinding your attacker. There's even a built-in finger lock, letting you know that where it points will always be in the direction of your attacker—even when you're scrambling or nervous.
Including a belt clip and lanyard, you'll always know the Tornado is with you. After all, the most important aspect of any self defense tool is that you can carry it with you easily. It measures just 3 1/2" by 2 1/4", so it'll fit easily into a pocket or even the smallest handbag. Requiring only two powerful CR2032 button batteries, which are included, you can rest assured that it'll always be operational no matter how long you have it.
There are other useful variants of the Tornado that are designed with features specifically for home invasion situations as well, protecting your house from the worst calamities. These combine the quickness of pepper spray with the efficiency of a home alarm system.
In order to use the Tornado device, ush the yellow safety tab. This activates the strobe and alarm features. Often, this is enough to make any attacker turn and run. If you must use the pepper spray feature, push down the activation button while aiming at your attacker. As soon as it's safe to do so, move quickly away from the threat and call police.
The Tornado all-in-one personal defense system has features designed to be used at a second's notice, stopping an attack and helping you get away safely. If you're searching for a self defense device to provide maximum protection in a small package, take a look at the Tornado pepper spray defense system.

In today's world, the danger that a stalker presents is serious business. Although there are various steps that you can take to help limit the possibility that you may acquire a stalker, it is sometimes inevitable. There are a number of tell-tale signs that you may have a stalker. If you think someone may be stalking or following you, can consult the authorities and take action to limit the amount of danger presented by your stalker.
1) Understand the potential for stalking. Stalking is a type of intimidation and harassment that usually stems from a stalker not understanding the nature of a relationship. For example, if you've recently turned someone down for a date and they don't seem to fully grasp the situation, you may be in danger. Stalking does not just include following you; often, these actions progress into much more, which is why it is so important to put an end to such behaviors quickly.
2) A potential stalker may appear at locations unannounced. These locations may include your place of work, your home, and places you stop by routinely. The appearance of such an individual may be benign. At first, you may think they're simply running into you because they frequent the same locations. In this case, simply telling them that you do not want their presence provides a simple solution. However, if an individual still shows up unannounced it is likely that they are a stalker.
3) Unwanted gifts may show up unexpectedly. The gifts may be intimate in nature, since, for the most part, stalkers seem to feel that they have a stronger connection to their victims then is actually true. Lingerie, flowers, jewelry, photographs, and letters, among other things, may appear at your home or business.
4) Harassing phone calls, emails or text messages may also be an indication of a potential stalker. These messages may vary in nature, but a common thread is that these messages will be frequent and intimate. Occasionally stalkers will proclaim their love for an individual, but they may also proclaim their dislike for someone.
5) Your stalker may also know various things about you that they would not necessarily know from a casual or everyday conversation. If a potential stalker seems to know personal information about you, it may be a result of their delusion that they are closer to you then they actually are. Some stalkers will go to great lengths to learn all they can about their target.
6) A stalker may also threaten your friends and family. Since some stalkers may be suffering from delusions of intimacy and a general disconnect with reality, they may be mentally unstable. Even as your stalker professes his or her love for you, they may also be threatening those closest to you.
Even stalkers who start out friendly and seem harmless may turn violent and angry for no apparent reason. If you do suspect that you are being stalked, change your routine, alert friends and families so that they can help to provide a buffer zone, and consult with the authorities.

Article Title: Getting Prepared For an Emergency Evacution

*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
If you live in an area that is known for hurricanes, typhoons, flooding, tsunamis, earthquakes, volcanoes, or any other natural disaster – and that covers just about anywhere on the globe – you should be aware of the need for emergency evacuation plans. This is especially important in regions battered by yearly storm seasons. Preparing for an emergency evacuation can be essential to the survival of your family.
1) Know the Evacuation Routes.
Any area that is evacuated for emergency reasons on a regular or semi-regular basis will have a designated evacuation route. Many of these routes are marked with signs that will help direct traffic in the case of an evacuation. If you aren't sure if there are evacuation routes in your area, contact your local police station or city hall for additional information. Take the time to drive the evacuation route once or twice, so that you know the roads to take, even if you are very familiar with your local area. Familiarity with the evacuation routes will help ease any confusion or frustration that may happen in an emergency situation.
2) Know The Season
Many areas have a season during which emergency evacuation may be necessary. Though the 'storm season' may be common knowledge to locals, it often comes as a surprise to newcomers. Know when this season is, and use it as a deadline to make sure that you are prepared for evacuation. Once you know what the storm season is, you can monitor news sources to keep yourself apprised of any pending evacuations.
3) Construct a Plan
Have a general plan that explains how each family member will get to safety in the event of an emergency. Consider the variables, since some family members may be at work, school or home in the event of an evacuation, and you should have a rough plan of what each person should do in the most common locations they might be when the evacuation begins.
4) Pack Essential Supplies
The last thing that you're going to want to do in an emergency evacuation is try and round up all the essentials that you might need for the duration of the evacuation. Start by making a simple list of the things that you would need in most situations, including food, clothing, toiletries, and medications. Pack a small bag for each member of your family and keep the bags in an easily accessible location that everyone in the household knows. Remember, you want to be able to get to these supplies quickly in order to carry them out of the home or load them into your car. If you have pets, make sure that you have supplies for them as well.
5) Designate a Rally Point.
In any emergency, it may be difficult to contact all of the members of your family. Cell phone lines get jammed, internet connections fail and public phones may not be accessible. Make a plan for where your family will gather once everyone is evacuated, just in case family members take different routes to safety. You can also make arrangements to contact a friend or family member outside of the evacuation area. Arrange to have all family members get in touch with your emergency contact as soon as possible during an emergency situation.

Each year, house fires destroy thousands of homes and thousands of acres of land, not to mention causing millions in property damage and destroying lives. Though there is no way to completely prevent fires, there are some simple ways to dramatically reduce the likelihood that a fire will happen in your home. It often takes little more than some very easy precautions.
Preventing Electrical Fires
Faulty electrical wires can literally spark fires in almost any environment, and are one of the leading causes of fires in the home. Ensure that all of your electrical appliances are in good working order, and have any damaged devices repaired by a professional. For additional safety, you can unplug appliances while not in use, which has the added benefit of saving money your electricity bill, even if the devices are turned off. Be sure not to overload outlets by making sure that there are a limited number of appliances or devices plugged into any one outlet, and use surge protectors responsibly.
Heating Elements
If you have baseboard heaters make sure that no furniture is pressed up against them. Furniture and drapes can ignite if they are too close to baseboard heaters or heating elements. General wisdom dictates that you should have a six-to-eight inch space between heaters and any flammable material. If you use a wood stove or fireplace to heat your home, make sure that the chimney is properly cleaned and that any debris is cleaned out of the hearth on a regular basis. Keep the doors to your wood stove or fireplace closed in order to increase safety and decrease heat loss.
Natural Gas
Natural gas is the heating method of choice in many homes. Though it is less expensive, and clean burning, it does add a potential fire hazard. If you have natural gas heating in your home, make sure that the lines are checked and secure, and that there are no leaks. A simple way to check for natural gas leaks is to install a carbon monoxide detector.
Smoke Alarms and Fire Extinguishers
Essential to any fireproofing project is ensuring that you have fire extinguishers and properly installed smoke alarms. Place fire extinguishers in the kitchen, garage, and hallway, and smoke alarms in all rooms. Test your smoke alarms frequently, and replace the batteries every six months. In addition to having this safety equipment in your home, you should make sure that you know how to use it properly.
Escape Routes
Also essential to any fireproofing project is ensuring that everyone in your household has a way out of the home in the event of a fire. Make sure that windows open properly and that there is a safe rendezvous point. Purchase fire ladders for second-story windows, particularly if your bedroom is located on the upper floor.
Double Checking
Consult with your local fire department if you want to make sure your home is properly fireproofed. Many fire departments may have additional information about fireproofing homes, and many are willing to check the fire safety of your home.

Article Title: How Do Thieves Gauge Whether Your House Makes a Good Target

The old saying "you can't judge a book by its cover," may be true, but it isn't necessarily something that applies to every situation. Just as we often judge individuals by the way that they look, thieves also judge homes based on the way that they look from the street. Many thieves go about "casing" homes in order to figure out: 1) if a home is worth breaking into, 2) how easy it would be to break into, 3) whether or not they can get away without being seen.
If you watch the nature channel, you've undoubtedly seen lions and tigers stalking through the jungle, eyeing their prey. Thieves aren't much different. They stalk through neighborhoods and communities in search of prey. So what exactly are they looking for? Ideally, they're looking for a property that tells them that there are things of value inside. In addition to that, they are also looking for a property that looks easy to break into. Thieves know that homes that look like they contain valuable possessions often mean that the owners have taken security precautions, which can present more of a challenge.
So, how do thieves gauge whether your house makes a good target, just from driving past it? One of the first things they look for is how well the home has been cared for. They use the "broken window theory": if there is a broken window on a home or building, then the building must not be cared for. Likewise, if a home is in even a moderate state of disrepair, it announces to thieves that there is probably very little security in place. For that matter, the front door may not even be locked. Hence, it's probably worth breaking into the home just in case there's something of value inside, even if the thief doesn't think the homeowners are wealthy people.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, too much security may attract the wrong kind of attention as well. While it's certainly important to protect your home – even if you think you don't own anything worth stealing – is there such a thing as too much security? A multitude of high-tech cameras, plus burglar bars and a barking dog, combine to form an interesting picture of the home. Together, they work as a sort of announcement that there is something of value inside. Though all of these security measures are enough to deter an opportunistic thief, they may make your home more attractive to a professional thief looking for a big payout.
So what's the best solution? Keep your home in repair, promptly replacing anything that breaks or becomes worn out. Tend to your yard and pay attention to how your home looks to the neighbors. A well lit home also prevents theft, because it increases the chances that the thief will be seen breaking in. Install appropriate security devices around the home, but don't make it seem as though you are trying to build a maximum-security prison.

We all want to protect our homes from theft and disaster, but what items are essential for a safe home? When it comes down to it, you should consider any dangers in your region, such as hurricanes or earthquakes that may strike your area. There are also some standard items that you should keep in your home for any emergency situation:
1) Every home should be equipped with several fire extinguishers. One should be located in the kitchen, with another in the garage. In addition to working fire extinguishers, make sure that your home has several working smoke detectors. If you use natural gas for cooking or heating you should also invest in a carbon monoxide detector. Check these items at least once per year to make sure they have working batteries, and that the extinguisher is not in need of replacement.
2) Escape ladders or ropes for second-story windows. If your bedroom is located on the second floor or above, you should invest in an emergency ladder. In the event that the normal route out of your bedroom is blocked by debris or fire, you will want to have an alternate exit plan.
3) Supplies of food and water. This is particularly important in areas prone to earthquakes or hurricanes. Food and water supplies should be enough to sustain the occupants of your home for at least three days. In addition to food, water and batteries, you should also keep basic emergency supplies ranging from medications and toiletries to duct tape and tarps. Consider purchasing an all-in-one emergency kit, and keep it somewhere that will be accessible in the event of an emergency – not buried behind other boxes in the furthest reaches of your garage.
4) A battery-operated radio. In the age of the internet, few people have a radio around their home, but this can be absolutely critical in an emergency situation, regardless of the type of emergency. In times of need it is good to be able to monitor the latest news so that you know what's going on outside your property. When can you expect the power to come back on? Are people looting the stores downtown? When will the danger pass? These are questions you'll want to have answered, and that's why you need a radio with batteries.
5) An emergency plan. What will you do in an emergency? Where will you go? What if your "rally point" is not accessible following the emergency – where will you go then? Take the time to think these ideas through so that you can act quickly in an emergency
6) Other preventive measures. Depending on your family's situations, these range from deadbolt locks, door and window alarms, and surge protectors to swimming pool alarms and child locks on cabinets. Think about the possible dangers confronting your family – both of the everyday variety and large-scale natural disasters – and take the necessary steps to keep your family safe.
Though it's certainly not a lot of fun to think about what could happen, this is necessary. Whether you are preparing for hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes are terrorist attacks, there are a great number of things that you can do to ensure the safety of yourself and your loved ones.

Installing alarms on your doors and windows is a great idea if you want to increase the security of your home. These portable devices are the perfect solution for those who want to avoid the expense of a whole-house alarm system, but still want to protect their family and possessions. Modern technology has advanced to the point that you can install these small, wireless devices yourself. Today, there are many different kinds of wireless door and window alarms on the market today, though most are installed in similar ways. Here are a few tips for those looking to install door and window alarms:
1) Find out what type of alarm is best for your specific needs. Knowing what models are on the market will give you a wide range to choose from so that you can select the model that is best suited to your needs. Most alarms will automatically sound when the door or window is opened. There are others that will sound when the glass is broken; these are ideal for sliding glass doors and other large panes of glass that may be smashed by an intruder. In these cases, a normal door or window alarm may not sound, since the window is not physically opened.
2) Read the instructions. This should be a given when installing anything, but especially when that device is meant to protect your family from harm. Make sure you have the right tools, which typically means a screwdriver. Also read the directions regarding alarm placement; each alarm model may have a slightly different placement within the door or window assembly. Following these directions ensures that the alarm works as intended. Though the alarms are designed to be installed in just a few minutes, with no special training or tools, that doesn't mean that you can skip this step.
3) Locate the entrances and exits in need of alarms. Seems pretty simple, right? Far too many people take the time to protect their front door, and maybe even their back door or a bedroom window. A surprising number of people couldn't name all of the entrances to their home from memory. Go outside, walk around the house, and count all of the doors and windows that could be opened by an intruder. Don't forget about second story windows, as many intruders may be willing to climb up to get inside your house. Even if these entrances aren't convenient to you, thieves only want to get inside your home, and they'll look for any entry point they can find to do so. In short, these inexpensive alarms should be installed on any entrance to your home, as well as your garage and any outbuildings.
4) Test the alarms periodically. As soon as you've finished installing the alarm, test it out. Do the two sides contact each other properly, and does the alarm sound when the door or window is opened? Test these devices every 6 months to a year – a good rule of thumb is every time you change your clocks for daylight savings or check your smoke alarm batteries – to make sure they are still working properly.

When it comes to home security, most homeowners are understandably focused on keeping intruders out of the house. With secure locks, door alarms, and other security features designed to make a burglar think twice about entering your home, have you overlooked the crucial step of protecting your family and your property if an intruder ever made it past this defense?
It's certainly important to think about how you would protect your family – whether with a firearm, a stun gun, a TASER device, pepper spray, or some other method – but what about your property? Though it's important to secure your property – from your big-screen TV down to delicate jewelry – there is always the possibility that a thief will walk off with it during a home invasion. Even if no one is injured in the break-in, you could lose thousands of dollars in property, not to mention the ensuing challenges of dealing with insurance companies and the police, and having to replace your belongings. What steps can you take now to lessen the hassle after your property is stolen?
First, make an inventory of your property. Keep a list of your possessions, with photos if possible, in at least one location in your home. Have another copy stored offsite, such as in a safe deposit box or with a trusted relative, and another version in your computer. This ensures that even if your home is destroyed in a fire, with all of your belongings inside, you'll know what you had. What should you include in this list? Purchase dates, model numbers, and identifying details can help police reunite you with the property if it is recovered, or help expedite the insurance claims process.
Mark your most expensive possessions – especially electronics – so that they can be returned to you. This way, even if your belongings turn up at a pawn shop or police station in another city – where they may have no idea you're looking for them – they'll know how to find you. If properly marked, the burglar will have a much harder time selling your property, and this step makes it easier to trace them back to you. Consider marking the items with your name, zip code, phone number, or drivers' license number. Never mark them with your social security number. Though a common tactic, this could lead to identity theft. Mark your possessions by engraving this number, not by using a sticker or writing with pen, which could be removed by the thief.
Finally, install a surveillance camera. Even a dummy camera will make a burglar reconsider his choice of breaking into your home, but the benefit of a security camera recording activities inside and around your home is that the footage could help police track down the perpetrator, leading to the return of your property.
These steps are important ways to avoid the distress that is typical with a home invasion, even if no one in your family is physically hurt in the process.

Article Title: What Questions to Ask Before You Take a Teaching Job

Whether you've been teaching for decades, or you're applying for your first job as a teacher, the interview is a harrowing process. With that being said, don't forget that you are also interviewing them – to make sure that you'll be a good fit in the school. Here are the top eight questions you must ask during any teacher interview:
1) How many students in each class? This is one of the most critical factors to your success as a teacher. Will you be trying to teach 12 students, or 40? If you're teaching in a middle school or high school, how many classes will you be teaching each day?
2) What duties are required beyond teaching? In many schools, you may be required to supervise lunch or recess time, serve on a number of committees, or lead students in after-school clubs or sports. If you are expected to fulfill these additional roles, now is the time to find out, rather than on your first day at the school.
3) How much prep time will you have, and what curriculum do they follow? This is the part of a teacher's job that is most misunderstood by outsiders. How much time is provided within the school day for you to prepare for classroom activities? How much are you expected to do at home, on your own time? Are you expected to come up with the lessons from scratch, or does the school follow a particular curriculum, leaving little leeway for teachers to design their own plans?
4) What are the current challenges faced by the school? You'll learn as much from how the interviewer answers this question than from their actual answers. Do they focus on discipline problems, scores on standardized tests, or some other issue? Regardless, it is important that you understand the school's situation before accepting a job there.
5) What are the school's discipline and safety challenges? Do you need to worry about students bringing guns and knives to school, or will your biggest problem be cell phones in the classroom? Don't take your interviewer's word for it – ask around. Walk the hallways to get a sense for whether you would feel safe at the school. Also ask the interviewer about the school's approach to classroom discipline.
6) What is your teacher turnover like? Can you tell me why those employees left? Expect answers like moving, pregnancy, or becoming a stay at home parent. Avoid schools that are reluctant to answer, as this can indicate internal problems within the school. Perhaps teachers don't feel safe there, or that the Principal does not support them, or there are too many conflicts between teachers.
7) What kind of resources can the school offer me as a new teacher there? This may include laptops, workshops, discretionary funding, mentors, and specialists. In short, make sure the school will provide you with the support you need to be successful!
8) What is the student population like? Is it a low-income population? Are there many students learning English as a second language? Are parents very involved in the school? These things are good to know ahead of time so that you can be prepared to support the student population at the school.

Article Title: How to Go About Reporting a Crime

*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
What should you do if you see a crime in progress? What if you're the victim of a crime? Although those in the United States are not legally obligated to report a crime, you should consider it your duty to do so. After all, wouldn't you want someone else to do the same for you?
If you are witness to a crime, either violent or otherwise, you can and should report the crime to authorities. There are a variety of ways that you can report crimes, including via phone or in person. If you witness a violent crime in action you should call the police immediately and report the nature and location of the crime so that they can respond quickly. In most cases, it's wiser to call the police immediately rather than trying to get in the middle of a violent confrontation.
To report a crime by phone, you should call either 911 or the non-emergency hotline in your area, depending on the situation. Most cities have non-emergency hotlines set up in order to field minor crimes such as vandalism, or reporting a crime after the fact. Contact the police via the non-emergency number will not interfere with 911 operators who may be fielding more pressing calls.
If the crime is violent in nature, or still in progress, you should contact the police by dialing 911 for the emergency line. Do not be afraid to call them – after all, the emergency dispatchers are there to help you. Even if you think you have the situation under control, call them. Be prepared to provide as many details as possible, including your name, a contact number, and your location, as specifically as you can. The police will show up as quickly as possible, which can vary depending on the nature and severity of the emergency.
What if you want to report a crime or suspicious situation that's not an emergency? For example, you've recently spotted graffiti on a fence, you think one of the neighbors might be involved in selling drugs, or there's a car parked on your street that hasn't moved in weeks. For these types of situations, you may want to contact the local police department in order to talk to an officer on duty and/or a detective. You'll want to use your discretion when deciding what method to use in order to report to the authorities. It's a good idea to have both the emergency and non-emergency numbers posted in your home and programmed into your cell phone, so that you don't have to look them up in a time of need.
If you decide that you would like to report a crime anonymously, there may be a crime hotline in your area. Companies like Crime Stoppers and other independent groups may offer their services so that your report can remain reasonably anonymous, if this is a concern to you.
Regardless of how you contact the authorities, you should expect the process to include:
1) Stating the nature of the crime.
2) Providing the location of the crime.
3) Providing a description of suspects
4) Explaining where you were located when you witnessed the crime.
If police decide to investigate the crime further, or need a witness to verify the nature of the crime, you may be asked to provide an official statement or testify in court. Again, the nature of the crime will influence the amount of interaction you will need to have with the police following the report.

Article Title: Could You Carry a Stun Pen?

While most people are aware of the possibility of using a stun gun for self defense, few have heard of stun pens. Relatively new to the market, many people have already found this device to be an excellent option for self defense. If you're concerned about your safety, you may be interested in this high-powered, lightweight, and affordable gadget.
A derivative of the larger stun gun, used by both civilians and police for several decades now, stun pens provide a great alternative to lethal force. If you want to be able to stop an attacker in his tracks, but don't want to carry a gun or knife, this is an accessible and convenient option. The stun-pen offers a great alternative to the larger family of electrically charged self-defense items by providing a tool that resembles a small flashlight and yet provides enough voltage to incapacitate potential attackers.
Hikers, joggers, walkers and other individuals who may not think to pack a larger self defense product, such as a TASER device, in their purse or bag may be interested in this device that can be held easily in the hand while walking to or from the car. Typically measuring less than 7 inches long and 1 inch in width, a stun pen can fit into the smallest evening clutch or the pocket of your jeans.
It will deliver an ominous crackling sound if discharged into the air. The sound of the electricity flowing through the device, is often enough to scare away potential attackers even without actually using the stun ability, in the same way that a dog's bark or a snake rattling its tail warns you to stay away. This tell-tale crackle may discourage potential attackers from harassing you – and encourage them to find some other prey.
There are a variety of "stun pens" on the market today, and you may want to investigate exactly which product most suits your concerns. One of the main variables is voltage. Though it doesn't take an extremely high voltage to incapacitate an attacker, some people find it reassuring to have a high-voltage unit for their defense. Stun pens offer up to 800,000 volts of protection, more than enough to take down an attacker, no matter their size. Most devices allow up to a dozen or so discharges before the battery needs to be recharged, and some even use regular alkaline batteries, making them easier to recharge on the go.
In addition to the small size of these stun pens, they are also rather maneuverable and easy to use, and this is one of their principle benefits over stun guns and similar self defense tools. Unlike their bulkier stun gun counterparts, they may lack a certain feeling of power and masculinity, the media usually portrays such devices in the hands or purse of a women. However, dismissing stun pens as "girly" or "wimpy" is premature, as they actually offer a great deal of protection, no matter who is wielding them. This powerful, affordable, and easily concealable device is a great option for self defense.

Article Title: The Woody Station Wagons Styling

*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
The Woody Wagon has been depicted in Norman Rockwell paintings, National Lampoon movies and Beach Boys songs – making it a genuine piece of Americana. The Wagon, in all its various incarnations, brings to mind California in the 1960s and endless family road-trips. So named because of its use of wood in the body of the car, the Woody or Woodie is instantly recognizable with its rear bodywork of wood panels and framework. The Woody is less of a model and more of a popular variant – which has been explored and interpreted by a number of manufacturers throughout the years.
The variety of body designs began in the 1930s and 1940s when "body-on-frame" designs largely produced in the US were designed as convertibles and station wagons. The idea of using wood for the body of a vehicle simply made sense in this era. Horse-drawn carriages had been made from wood for centuries, so incorporating wood into the design of a car seemed a logical progression. For the most part, during this era third-party companies converted the bodies of automobiles so that the passenger compartment of the car was made of wood. The wood was polished and lacquered to add an element of style to the cars.
When considering current safety standards, it's pretty easy to see why the Woody has fallen out of favor. Wood, being a material that fractures easily on impact, is not as safe as the reinforced metal used in nearly all cars of the modern era, though it would have seemed commonplace in the original 1930s Woodie Wagons.
In the 1950s the Woody Wagon reached its peak – following this heyday, both Plymouth and Buick discontinued their Woody models. The American public would have to wait until the early 1970s to see Woodies making their way back onto the market. But these newer versions weren't the same as their predecessors. In this era of plastic, wood had been replaced with a simulation, in order to preserve the aesthetic without sacrificing safety. At this time, the Chevy Vega Estate and Ford Pinto Squire were two of the most popular Woody Wagons.
Through the 1980s and 1990s the Woody's popularity seemed to wan once again – although some manufacturers added simulated woodgrain trim and detailing to a variety of vehicles, including SUVs and minivans, an interesting take on the original style of the Woody.
The most recent incarnation of the Woody is the Spark Woody, produced by Chevrolet. Press coverage and PR statements about the Spark seem to be targeted at surf-culture, and depict the car with a surfboard strapped to the roof. The wood aesthetic seems far less futuristic than some other body designs on the market today, but it does harken back to the fun and carefree surf culture of the 1960s. Though somewhat of a far cry from the original woody wagons depicted in surf movies of the 1960s, it still represents this original aesthetic and unique culture with the true surf-bum at heart. With this new introduction, it seems that the Woody Wagon has yet to make its last stand.

Everyone has a routine they follow daily, even if they do not make a conscious decision to do so. If you're like most people, you frequent the same grocery store and dry cleaner, drive the same way to work each day, and like to go jogging always at the same time. Though you probably don't think having such a routine is dangerous, it can be. Routines allow potential attackers to plan out their assault. Though some attackers are opportunistic, many others will lie in wait, using your routine to attack you at your most alone and vulnerable moment. A predictable schedule from day to day makes it easier for this attacker to find you.
Changing your routine is easy to do, and not only helps you avoid an attack, but also provides mental refreshment. After all, it's easy to get stuck in a rut when you do the same things every day. Changing your routine is all about becoming less predictable. These little changes make it less likely that an assailant can use your routine against you.
So, what can you do to change up your schedule without disrupting your life? Try:
Taking the scenic route to work. Adjusting your work schedule to a different time, or changing the times you leave or return to your home Shopping at stores you don't usually frequent. Check out new cafes, bars, and restaurants in your city. Do your chores and tasks in a different order every day.
Besides changing your daily routine, there are other easy steps to avoid becoming the target of an assailant. As you go about your daily routine, how much personal information are you putting out there? It's probably more than you think. This information could be used against you by a resourceful criminal. Small changes, such as making your telephone number unlisted, using a PO box for deliveries to your home, and inviting over a friend if you must call a repairman to your home, can make you safer without disrupting your life.
Use common sense to avoid an attack by staying alert and listening to your intuition. Mixing up your routine keeps things interesting and exciting, all the white making it difficult for an assailant to target you based on your schedule. All of these simple fixes can be made free of charge, and serve as a first line of defense against an attack.
The steps listed above will make anyone much safer from attack. If you do feel that you are in danger, what more drastic changes can you make? Consider taking self-defense courses, or purchase devices such as pepper spray canisters or a stun gun. These are great investments for anyone, especially if you think you may be targeted by an assailant. They can give you the confidence you need to defend yourself in a time of need. Pepper spray and stun guns can be carried with you in your purse or pocket, whether you're going somewhere unfamiliar to you or just following your daily routine.

Far too many homeowners fail to adequately protect their homes from break-ins and other dangers because they believe prevalent myths about home security. Here are the top 5 myths that are stopping you from protecting your home and your family:
Break-ins only happen at night. In fact, a home invasion is more likely to occur during the day, when burglars know most occupants will be at work or school. When nobody is home, criminals can take longer to steal valuables, with a reduced risk of being spotted. For this reason, it is important to protect your home not only while you're asleep, but also during broad daylight. The truth is that you're more likely to return home from work to find your home ransacked than to be woken up in the middle of the night by a burglar.
Smoke alarms are enough to protect against fires. Almost all homeowners today have installed these critical devices, but are you relying on them too much? Smoke detectors are great for notifying you of a fire, but what do you do then? Fire-conscious homeowners must also consider ways to stop the fire or to escape after the alarm goes off. That means devices such a fire escape ladders to help you get out of second story windows, and fire extinguishers to put out a small fire before the problem grows larger.
There's nothing in the home that a burglar would want. Do you think that you have nothing worth a burglar's time to steal? Guess again! Many thieves are after small electronics – iPods, DVDs, and laptop computers – that are easily concealed and easy to sell quickly. Criminals may also be after prescription medications and even personal documents – like the stack of bills waiting for you to pay – that can be sold to identity thieves. Just because you don't have a fancy new TV doesn't mean that your home will not get robbed! Thieves are more concerned with finding a home with lax security than in finding one with the perfect combination of items to steal.
Nothing ever happens in my neighborhood. How often have you heard news about a crime in a small town, only for the neighbors to exclaim that nothing so terrible could happen in their safe community? The point is, no matter how safe your neighborhood is, no area is immune to crime. Even if the neighbors can be trusted doesn't mean that their friends can be, or that a criminal won't come in from elsewhere. Do not forget about your family's security based solely on the area in which you live.
Door and window alarms provide enough security. You don't have to think about anything else as long as the alarm system is set, right? Wrong! Do not count solely on alarms to keep burglars at bay. Instead, consider them one of many devices in your line of defense. Other home security features, from surveillance cameras and outdoor lighting to dog barking alarms and glass break detectors, help to keep your family safe from harm.

Whether you live in a snowy climate or the temperature only drops to 60 degrees during the winter, the changing season brings both good and bad. Winter can mean rising heating costs, plenty of time spent shoveling the sidewalk, slippery commutes to work, and additional home security problems. Don't forget to pay attention to this concern during the winter time – and definitely don't make these five home security mistakes during the colder months:
1) Forgetting to do last-minute house checks in your rush to get to the car. It's no fun to dash outside into the winter weather, but be sure you spend the time to do a last-minute check of your alarm system, as well as making sure all of the doors are locked. Take a second look, no matter how chilly you are.
2) Turning the car on to let it warm up. This might be an appealing way to avoid jumping into a freezing car, but it can be risky. If you start the car before returning inside to finish getting ready, you run the risk that a thief will wander by and take advantage of the opportunity. Never leave the keys in the ignition, even just to dash inside for a minute.
3) Neglecting to shovel the sidewalk. Not only can this lead to slips and falls on the icy surface, but it also provides an important clue for burglars. During the winter months, savvy burglars look to see who hasn't shoveled their sidewalk after a fresh snowfall. This indicates that the occupants are probably not at home – or are too busy with work and school to bother doing it. Because burglars prefer to break into empty homes, they'll target these houses first.
4) Not checking the stability of your windows before the cold weather hits. Weather wreaks havoc on all sorts of building materials, especially old wood-frame windows. These can be drafty, resulting in an immense increase in your energy bill as the temperature falls. Plus, they are easy for criminals to pry open, gaining entry into your home. Do you have old windows? Replace them before the end of fall. This is also a great time to check your roofing and other areas of the home that might be vulnerable when the wet and cold weather hits.
5) Not being ready for power outages. High windows and snowfall can make the power go out every winter, even if you're not accustomed to considering this possibility in your area. Don't wait until a storm is coming to stock up on bottled water, flashlights, and candles. Make sure you have plenty of these emergency items stored in an emergency kit that will be easy to find in the dark. That way, you'll be prepared for any natural disaster to come your way – and you won't have to do the last-minute rush to gather these supplies. Even if you live somewhere where high winds and snowfall are unlikely, an emergency kit makes good common sense.

Article Title: Tips For Home Security on Your House Boat

Though having a suburban house with a white picket fence is the dream of many, others opt for a more unusual living situation: living aboard a houseboat. If you've always dreamed of the freedom of the open water and the salty air, maybe a houseboat is your ideal abode. If you are lucky enough to own a houseboat, you're probably eager to protect your investment. Although living on a houseboat offers its own unique set of security advantages, it also presents its own series of challenges.
Many docks and marinas have controlled access gates, which provide a great first line of defense against would-be thieves. However, those gates really only protect you from some people – and they definitely don't protect you from anyone who can swim. Though you might feel relatively safe with your houseboat docked at the marina, it is important to take the necessary security cautions on the boat itself – regardless of how secure the dock may be.
Like any traditional home, houseboats can be installed with a variety of alarm and security systems. There are manufacturers that specialize in house-boat alarm systems, though this may not be necessary to protect your floating home. Houseboat alarms include door and window sensors, as well as fire, smoke, and carbon monoxide detectors. Some can even notify you by cell phone if any of your alarms are triggered.
Some security devices – like cameras – can be used regardless of location. Wireless cameras are a great option for those who would like to monitor their houseboat while they are away – many of the latest cameras allow you to view a live camera feed from any internet connection. Many cameras currently on the market feature HD digital video, night vision and sound. As an added bonus, many of these cameras are small enough be hidden in alarm clocks and picture frames.
Don't overlook your doors and windows, which are the most important security points both on houseboats and traditional homes. Even if you're on the water, these can be fitted with high-quality locks and sensors to prevent intruders from gaining access to your houseboat. Low-tech solutions include placing stoppers in the tracks of your windows and any sliding doors and increasing lighting and visibility to your floating home. Consider organizing a "neighborhood watch" among your neighboring houseboats to keep an eye on each other's floating property. Though you may not inhabit a traditional neighborhood, you can still take advantage of this useful method of protecting the community in which you live.
The freedom of living on the water can be invigorating, but it is also a challenge. Living on your boat requires a particular sense of independence. Depending on where you are moored, you may not be able to count on the local police or fire agencies to protect you. Be sure that your boat is installed with fire extinguishers, pepper spray, and similar devices to protect you from any threat that might arise. Even though you're on the water, there are still plenty of ways for such threats to come aboard.

Article Title: Alternatives to Security Bars on Your House Windows

In the home security game there are a variety of high-tech products available to keep your home safe from intruders, including cameras, motion sensors, electronic locks, automatic light timers and silent alarms, just to name a few. However, there are still some reliable low-tech solutions for home security. Guard dogs, window bars and deadbolt locks have been used for decades (if not centuries) as reliable methods for protecting property.
Window bars serve as a visible deterrent for potential burglars and can add a sense of security to homes in any neighborhood. But what are some of the pros and cons of window bars? Though these bars serve as a visible deterrent for break-ins, they can also be an eyesore, adding a prison-like look to your home. Burglar bars on many windows in a given neighborhood is often a sign that the area has relatively high property crime, and may even lower your home's value. In fact, their appearance is the top reason why many homeowners shy away from burglar bars-- not only do they look rather unattractive from the street, but they also prevent you from getting full enjoyment of the view out of your windows.
In addition, window bars may impede escape from the home in the event of fire or other disasters. The solution to the emergency escape problem is to install bars that can be released or removed from the inside – which means that a savvy burglar can also remove the bars, if he or she is familiar with certain systems. While burglar bars may deter some thieves, others may see the bars as an advertisement that there are valuable possessions that the family finds worth protecting – and that can mean a big payoff for a burglar who isn't deterred by such measures. After all, you wouldn't be taking the time to protect your property if you didn't think you had anything worth stealing, right?
In low-visibility areas around your home, window bars can provide an added layer of defense, though burglar bars around the sides or back of a house are often so protected from view that a burglar might be willing to take the time to cut through them or remove them. If bars are properly installed, and installed on all accessible windows, burglars will have to decide whether or not it is worth the trouble to try and break into your house. When you consider that most burglars are simply looking for an easy target, then a burglar alarm acts as a deterrent much in the same way that many other home security devices work.
Installing burglar bars on all the windows in your house can provide one relatively inexpensive physical obstacle for burglars, though there are often better options for homeowners looking to protect their property. Adding properly installed door and window alarms, surveillance cameras, or alarm company signs are some of the many ways that you can improve the security of your home's entry points without the high visibility of burglar bars over the windows.

Whether you want to feel like James Bond or are trying to catch a thief in your own home, it may be advantageous to be aware of different "spy gadgets" that are on the market. Knowing about these high-tech devices is important whether you want to know how someone might be watching you, or want to increase your security. We've broken down the basic categories of spy gadgets to increase your awareness of the many types of spy products that are on the market today. Knowing what products are out there can help you keep track of your property and increase security. Likewise, raising your awareness of these devices may help you prevent savvy criminals from stealing your information or possessions.
Hidden cameras - Perhaps the most popular of all "spy" gadgets, these devices are finding their way into more and more situations. These concealable cameras range from tiny hidden cameras inside alarm clocks or picture frames, or even tiny "buttonhole" cameras that can be worn inside a special pair of sunglasses. Many of the cameras currently on the market transmit video information to remote locations and can be turned on or off at will. The increasing availability of digital video this means that you can record (or be recorded) without a tangle of cables or wires. In addition, many cameras have a "night vision" setting that can record even at night or in darkened rooms.
Audio devices - While many cameras also include audio capability, small audio devices ("bugs" in spy lingo) can be worn or installed in a variety of locations to record conversations. Audio devices can be incredibly small, and don't require an opening, unlike a camera, in order to record information. Likewise, audio devices can record through long distances and even through walls, meaning that the device does not have to be physically located inside a room in order to record information.
Another category of audio devices includes voice changers. Seen in the movies to disguise the voices of kidnappers making ransom demands, these devices actually have a wide range of real-world uses, such as disguising your voice when answering a phone call coming from an unknown number.
Computer Spying - Computer spying may be considered the "cutting edge" of spy devices. There are a number of computer programs that computer hackers can use to infiltrate your computer system and gather sensitive data. Among these programs are "key-logger" programs that can record each key-stroke made on a specific keyboard. Likewise, credit card "skimmers" can be installed on ATM machines and credit card terminals to record credit card information when an individual swipes his or her card through a terminal. "Malware" and "Spyware" can infiltrate your computer via emails or downloaded files, and also record personal information about a user. Inventive hackers can even use specific programs as a way to activate the webcam on your computer without your knowledge – effectively turning your web camera into a spy camera any time your computer is on.
Bug detectors - Finally, there is a host of devices designed not to record their own information, but to alert you to the presence of other recording devices. These phone tap, camera, and bug detectors are useful in situations where you believe someone may be recording your every move. Whether you think you're being targeted by identity thieves or by burglars, many of these bugs may never be found, even inside your own home, without a bug detector.

Renting a property can be a great way to make a little extra income – but the situation can propose a unique set of security risks. Whether a large apartment building or a single-family house, you are at least partially responsible for the security of the property, even if you live hours away from it. How can you ensure the security of your investment?
Whether you own or simply manage the property, you'll want to be cautious about who you rent to. Most prospective tenants are used to filling out credit checks and a variety of background check forms. Take advantage of these credit checks to ensure that prospective tenants have a good track record with previous landlords. The biggest danger for landlords is revenue lost when a tenant fails to pay rent. You can also ask prospective tenants to provide a letter of reference from a previous landlord – which will help you ascertain the reliability of a prospective tenant.
Other security concerns might include potential damage to property. By doing a careful "walk-through" of the property prior to signing the lease, you can document the condition of the property prior to rental. Document any existing damage carefully, and feel free to take photographs. Once the condition of the property is careful documented have your tenant sign a document that shows he or she agrees to the current condition of the apartment. Asking tenants for a damage deposit (as well as the last month's rent) is fairly standard practice in most areas.
In addition to completing the necessary paperwork, you will also want to change the locks between each tenant. Although many areas do not require landlords to change locks between tenants you can increase the security of your building by changing out locks between each renter. Also, make sure all windows lock securely and that fire alarms are functioning. Making sure the rental property is safe provides you additional security and protects you from any legal implications in the case of fire or theft.
Standard security practices can be just as useful for rentals as for the home you occupy yourself. Keep hedges and plants trimmed to increase visibility around the property; adequate lighting can also help prevent break-ins and vandalism. Repairing damages, vandalism and graffiti promptly will also help decrease any future vandalism to your property. If your property has secured access, make sure that the gate or door closes securely and that tenants only let in people that they know. Consider installing surveillance cameras at entrances and exits to monitor traffic and activities around your property.
Lastly, if you live on-site or nearby, be sure to check out the property frequently. This is especially true for large apartment buildings, as you can walk around the common areas without giving your tenants notice that you'll be entering the property. In most cases, you will need to give them advance notice if you want to enter any apartments, but simply walking around the property will establish your presence and help you keep in touch with your tenants. If you live off-site, consider selecting a property manager that can keep an eye on things for you.

In many urban areas, and increasingly in suburban neighborhoods, graffiti and vandalism are a growing nuisance, damaging property and creating an eyesore for community members. Although vandalism, like many crimes, cannot be completely prevented, there are some steps that individuals and communities can take to limit the amount of vandalism that takes place in a particular area.
Keeping an area well lit and free of garbage can help decrease the possibility of graffiti. Most graffiti is done away from areas where vandals might be seen or caught, such as the dark sides of retail buildings as night. Making sure that such areas are readily visible helps decrease the likelihood that potential vandals might target a specific area. Use security lighting in areas that are particularly vulnerable to the threat of vandalism.
Likewise, keeping an area well maintained indicates that someone cares for the property. Keep areas free of graffiti by painting over or eliminating graffiti as soon as possible. Once an area has been targeted by one vandal it increases the likelihood that others may see the area as a "safe place" to add their own graffiti. Criminologists often refer to this as the "Broken Window Theory." If a building or location has broken windows vandals and graffiti, artists may see this as a place where they can continue what someone else has started. Other graffiti artists may target the area to paint over competing graffiti signs. Repairing any damage as soon as it's discovered reduces this possibility.
Many areas benefit from "neighborhood watch" organizations – which may be as simple as creating awareness among local businesses and homeowners. Organized neighborhood watch groups may take the time to organize "patrols" that walk or drive through areas as a way to deter individuals from destroying or harming private property. At its most basic level, such a group indicates a commitment to watch out for each others' property, and to report suspicious behaviors to the police. Many communities with neighborhood watch groups put up signs advertising the existence of such a program. The ultimate effect of community watch groups is similar to increasing lighting and visibility, to show that community members will take notice if someone commits vandalism.
Other preventative measures can include installing security cameras or other security devices. Most graffiti artists use what they call a "tag" which is similar to a signature and is intended to identify the artist responsible. You can combine the information from the tag and security cameras to help authorities locate responsible individuals. If you've tried a variety of these techniques and vandals and graffiti artists are still damaging your property you may want to seek help from the local authorities. Taking pictures of the damage and keeping a record of when and where the damage occurred may help you narrow down a potential list of suspects.
There are other ways to limit unwanted painting. Keep in mind that some graffiti artists simply want a place to make their "mark" – and a community sponsored graffiti wall may provide an opportunity to turn potential property damage into a community-building activity.

If you own a restaurant, or are planning on owning a restaurant in the near future, you may already be aware of the unique security risks associated with owning and running a restaurant. Among other security risks, you should consider the risk of internal theft (employee theft of money or goods), robberies, and scams.
Hiring employees you trust is a great start towards preventing internal theft. Be selective when hiring. Simply checking with a potential employee's references is a good start, but you may also want to ask for a background check. Know your managers, and be careful when entrusting anyone with access to money and credit card information. Many restaurant Point of Sale (POS) systems keep track of voided sales and other important information that can help locate any discrepancies. Have a trusted employee double check all end-of-shift sales information.
Internal theft may also include theft of goods, especially in a restaurant environment. Maintain a consistent inventory system, and track any wastage that occurs. Wastage may include spoiled or damaged products – but it could also include food eaten by employees. Maintaining an inventory will also discourage staff from giving away unauthorized "freebies."
External theft may occur in several ways, the most common of which will probably be guests who leave without paying, or the "dine and dash." Although there is no sure-fire way to prevent this, other than asking guests to pay prior to eating, you can minimize the likelihood by making sure that your servers are alert. Encourage an atmosphere of teamwork and communication among your staff members.
External theft may also include robbery – which is similarly difficult to prevent. Limit the amount of cash that is on hand in your establishment by using "drop safes" to prevent access to money that is kept on site. Make frequent cash deposits (both to the drop safe and to your bank), in order to limit the amount of money on the premises. In addition to an alert staff, surveillance cameras and similar security devices can prevent robberies.
Scams are, unfortunately, a danger that almost any modern business can fall victim to. Common scams include the use of stolen credit cards, check forgery, false claims against the restaurant, and credit card skimming. Using a trusted credit-card processing company can help protect you in most credit-card related instances. Make sure staff follows your established rules for checking card signatures. Many establishments no longer accept checks as a preventative against check fraud or forgery.
False claims against the restaurant – incredibly hard to predict or prevent – may include: claims of food poisoning, over-charge claims, or claims of terrible service, just to name a few. Surveillance cameras can prevent many of these, and will aid in the resolution of most other such claims.
If a claim is made directly to the restaurant, gather as much information as necessary prior to granting any concessions of money or product. Review security camera footage to find out what really happened. Have a policy in place for dealing with these claims, from the everyday to the severe. In extreme situations it may be necessary to seek legal council.
Running your own business – whether a restaurant or any other establishment – comes with its own unique set of challenges that you may not be aware of until you have opened your business. As a restaurant owner, it is your responsibility to take steps to safeguard the security of your business, your inventory, and your employees.
