Your Home Security Roommates

If you have been reading up about home owners insurance savings then you know that a monitored home security system can save you the most on your home insurance costs. But don't stop there. Get a home security roommate!

If you want to detract thieves from your house, especially if you are a woman and live alone, a home security roommate should do the trick. Here are the basics: Have a man say your answering machine greeting, get a large pair of mens work boots to put outside your door, add a man's name to your mailbox, put large dog dishes visible outside, and add a "beware of dog" sign to your doors and windows. Now.. the intruders think you have a man and dog in the house and you don't even have to pick up after them!
