Say you are going to be gone from your house for a bit. You've already entered the street when you detect something off about someone. It's possible that they're waiting for you to leave so they can break in. Turn around and wave your hand as though someone stayed at home. Don't be shy.

4.Examine your locks.

If your lock has scratches, it indicates that someone has attempted to pick it open. In order to give yourself time to act promptly in the event of an emergency, check your lock before you open the door and enter your house.
