I enjoyed the article, but would like the advice given to include advice on what minimum safeguards homeowners should consider having in place (besides just keeping all of your windows and doors locked all of the time). I d like to know low cost options for making the access points to your house safer (i.e., cutting small wood dowels to fit in the tracks of windows or sliding glass doors, etc.) and links to Consumers Reports-type ratings about security cameras, Ring brand doorbells with cameras, motion sensitive lights, etc. I d like to see a Chevy to Cadillac array of products and information that homeowners could choose to consider for use in their own homes.

In addition, there should be a section on mail theft and not just the theft of packages from your front porch. Much of the identity theft that occurs today does not just happen on the Internet. It also happens when unsavory people cruise a neighborhood in the early hours of the morning raiding whatever mail they can find in unlocked mailboxes. When and if the unlocked mailboxes are depleted, they will even attempt the physical break in to locked mailboxes.

In summary, this article does a good job of identifying the broad strokes of this topic. I would just like to see this article or others that follow to delve further into home safety related topics.
