Safety Tip of the Month from Dennis Luken

April showers bring May flowers!!!  Also you will see the blossoming of a criminal element that will seize the moment to victimize unsuspecting homeowners by selling blacktop re-sealing, roof replacement, and various other scams.  DO NOT patronize vendors that show up at your front door and solicit your business.  Often times these individuals are traveling scam artists.  If you do consider contracting with such an individual or company, check them out with the Better Business Bureau, website:  www.cincinnati.bbb.org and request references and verify references.  Make sure these individuals and companies have insurance and workers’ compensation plans to protect yourself in case they are injured while performing work for your property.  

Remember when you are outside enjoying the spring and summer months, planting flowers and mowing your lawn yard, it is important do the following: ALWAYS activate your alarm system and ALWAYS keep your garage doors closed.

There is a group of criminals that will approach resident(s) working in their yard and distract the resident, while another thief is going through your home stealing jewelry, wallets, purses, cash, laptops, power tools, golf clubs, and flat screen televisions.

There have been several incidents of individuals going door to door and selling magazines.  Remember, there is a Transient Vendor Resolution that prohibits door to door sales.  If someone appears at your door attempting to sell goods, please notify Pierce Township Police and provide them with a description of the individuals and direction they were last seen traveling.

Also for those residents that have an alarm systems installed on your home and have been provided a sign by the alarm company.  Place the sign(s) in a prominent visible location.   Often times I see the alarm signs placed behind bushes and shrubbery and therefore it does nothing to prevent your home from becoming a potential target for a burglary!!!

Living at its legendary best!
