Yeah. These days, there are so many simple and inexpensive ways to do that when it comes to lighting.

And then finally, this tip I think is very interesting. Having a car parked in your driveway, moving in and out, definitely makes it seem like someone is home. Ideally, you're parking your car in your garage. That's the most secure. But maybe you have a neighbor who has a teenager who has an extra car and they're always parking it on the street.

It's good for fireproofing documents as well as valuable, expensive jewelry.
