Your car
Breaking into your car is often the first step to breaking into your home, Paulsen says. Things like car registrations, insurance cards, checkbooks, mail, packages, and even pharmacy receipts not only show your home address but can offer big clues to what kind of valuables you may own. Always lock your car doors, even if it’s just parked in your driveway.
“Don’t keep anything with your address on it in a visible place in your car or in your glove box,” he says. “If you do use the glovebox, make sure it stays locked.”
