Six tips for improving security around your home
1) Improve outdoor lighting
Ensure that streets, driveways, and front yards are well-lit. Motion-sensor lights around homes deter trespassers by reducing hiding spots and illuminating their movements.
2) Trim your trees
Overgrown shrubs and trees provide cover for intruders. Keeping them well-trimmed around windows and doors improves visibility and reduces potential hiding spots.
3) Secure Entry Points
Ensure doors, windows, and gates are always closed when you are away from the house. Upgrade to more secure locks, deadbolts, or even smart locks for added protection.
4) Add a security camera
Place security cameras in the main entry points to your home. Doorbell cameras are also relatively cheap and a great way to keep track of who is visiting your home when you aren't there.
5) Start a Neighborhood Watch Program
You could reach out to members on Neighbourly to form a group of neighbors who can regularly keep an eye out for suspicious activity and report it. You could also check with Neighbourhood Support to see what is existing in your area.
6) Introduce yourself to your neighbours
The closer you are to your neighbors, the more likely they’ll notice when something unusual or suspicious is happening around your property
Feel free to share anything that you do around your area to deter crime.

Teenagers today grow up in a very different climate than the youth of previous generations and although it could be said that advancement in the field of technology has given a younger audience more accessibility to a wealth of information , however in terms of emotional stability , the ability to navigate with ease through life's challenges seems rather haphazard and unskillful
Although our sphere of influence regarding how others treat us is very limited and the reality that we have very little control over how external circumstances and situations unfold
We can gain some kind of self-awareness , not in an obsessive sense but in the sense of rising above our own inner drama.
Fast Horse Express
Has anyone received a parcel delivered by a courier company called Fast Horse Express?
They have been delivering online orders from AliExpress recently and just flinging the package in the drive in full view of the road. This has happened twice now n the driver drove off before I could stop him.
Today he did the same thing but I managed to draw his attention and I asked him why he just flung it n why he did not ring the bell. He rudely walked away and said “I know how to do my job! “ Sat in his car and drove off.
Has anyone else experienced this with this courier.
