Open windows may invite burglars

Residents who leave their windows and patio doors open overnight to catch a summer evening breeze could unwittingly become targets of burglars. Oak Park Police urge residents to use devices that prevent entry by limiting travel of the sash or door. Making sure patio furniture cannot be used as a makeshift ladder to reach higher windows also is important. Residential Beat Officers are available to provide security tips and even an assessment of one’s home. To contact your RBO, visit www.oak-park.us/rbo.
