I have been thinking about what happens after you close on a house. These include what to know about home maintenance on an ongoing basis, how to save for repairing big items over the years and what to know about remodeling before you start are a few examples. Today I was reading an article from Readers Digest about Burglary and what to know. I was surprised reading this list of 13 Things Your Burglar Won't Tell You that ourselves and our homes from a burglary doesn't have to be hard.

Interesting stuff and a good read, we just had our next door neighbor get broken into while they were home at night and another neighbor down the street. We live in an amazing neighborhood and get targeted because of that but I have a 175 pound English Mastiff and a 60 German Wirehair Pointer that will help me out.
