If you have motion sensor lights
Since burglars frequently scope out homes before breaking in, they’re likely to know if those exterior lights on your house are motion-activated or not. And if you don’t have motion sensor lights, you might want to consider investing in some.
“Bad guys hate lit houses,” says Coker. “When you drive into your neighborhood tonight, think to yourself, ‘Which house would I hit if I was a burglar, and which ones would I not hit?’ You would stay away from the lit houses and hit the ones that are dark.”
