TIP OF THE WEEK
With hunting season opening in various parts of the state, many will be leaving town. Burglars realize this as well. Be sure all of your doors and windows that all items of value are secured away. Notify your neighbors that you will be leaving as well so they can watch over your house and notify police of any suspicious persons hanging around your property.
