Ladder Access
You may have noticed that most of these tips have addressed first-floor issues. This is because it’s much more difficult and high-risk for burglars to bring a ladder with them on a break-in. However, some homeowners make it easy on the bad guys by providing simple access to their second floor.
Don’t leave ladders lying around the yard, where they can be easily seen by prowlers. Most burglars are creatures of opportunity, and will never consider a second floor entry unless you make it easy for them by leaving a ladder on hand. Instead, store your ladder safely away.
