My 85 Year Old Father in Law was Robbed at Gunpoint this past Monday. Although this crime did not happen in the Kansas City Area it can happen anywhere. A stranger knocked on the Front Door claiming to be out of gas and needing help. Chuck, with a gas can in hand offered to drive the stranger to a Gas Station. A few blocks from home the Stranger instructed Chuck to stop the car, produced a Gun, took his money and keys and left on foot. Fortunately Chuck was not hurt. 

A few things to keep in mind:

• Be Suspicious of Strangers
• Don’t Open Your Door If You Don‘t Recognize the Person at Your Door
• Don’t Allow a Stranger in Your Car
• Don’t Hesitate to Call the Police if You Feel Threatened

All Security System Monitoring Companies experience cost increases from time to time. Eventually these companies will increase the price charged to their customers. If you are locked into a 3 or 5 year contract and you don't agree with the new price you are stuck until your contract comes up for renewal.

With a Month to Month contract you are in control of the relationship not some out of town company you can't influence.

The Waldo Area once again is in the news. Home Invasions and Assaults on Women seem to be capturing most of the Headlines. Obviously if you have a Security System - Use It. If your Security System has not been evaluated to assure your System is up to date and excellent working condition contact Security System Service Provider and schedule an evaluation and test of your system as soon as possible. Verify that all your Door and Window Locks are installed correctly and Locking Securely. Be  good Neighbor and report any suspicious activity to the Police Department.

 When you are Walking or Jogging in the neighborhood carry Pepper Spray or a Hand Operated Air Horn with you.

Consider adding an Outside Siren with a Strobe Light to your Security System along with a Wireless Panic Device connected to your System.
