Most home thefts happen when nobody is around, so a few simple steps can make a big difference. First, make sure every door and window is locked before you leave, even if you will be away for only ten minutes. Second, don't post your travel plans on social media, because criminals may be watching. Many families also put security cameras near the front door to ensure that any intruder is recorded. Finally, get to know your neighbors. People who look out for each other make the whole street safer. A secure home is essentially a home with caring neighbors.

Last Friday night, a robbery took place at a convenience store near Lin Yuan High School. A man wearing a black helmet ran in, grabbed money from the counter, and escaped on a scooter. Luckily, there were no casualties. A sixteen-year-old student who was buying snacks was the key witness. Although she was scared, she remembered the color of the scooter and part of its license plate. She cooperated with the police, and the criminal was caught two days later. He was found guilty and sent to jail. The store owner thanked her, saying her calm mind made all the difference.
