These lights are on when they feel the movement or at a certain time, flood the area with bright light and make it difficult for thieves to hide themselves. **Update key** If you recently bought a property, change all the keys in your window and door, because you never know who the previous owner can provide a key copy. **Secure the garage** Sometimes thieves can enter your home through a garage or even if they cannot enter the house, they steal expensive items stored in the garage. So, you must ensure that your garage is fully protected and guaranteed from thieves. **Turn on light of street** Thieves usually want to work in the dark so if your environment lights up well then that can prevent thieves from attacking your home or in that case, home in your neighborhood. So, talk to environmental associations and increase lighting on the streets as well as the environment. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
