Burglary

[Markus March]

I have a rental property with a tenant living in  property an the house has been broken into twice. I spoke with the police about the problem they stated that its the people living next door to my property who the think is doing this home robbery. The house has an alarm on it. The fist time the house got broken into they didn't know the house is equip the alarm system. The next time they back to the house the robber pull the meter out the meter socket trying to kill the power to alarm system put the system is equip with back up battery.

My question is how can I make this property more safer for my tenanted?

I were think about installing burglary bars but  that is a fire hazard?

So any help or advice from my family an friend on BP I would love to know what I should do to make them feel safer.

Hey I have never had this problem but I'll see if I can help. The first thing I would assume is that these are happening during the nighttime. I would install outside lights first and foremost and not the motion ones the timer ones. From dusk to sunrise you want light around a property that I'm assuming is in a bad neighborhood. Installing a quality fence stronger doors etc....your not trying to make it Fort Knox but rather not worth the trouble.
