Put yourself in the shoes of a burglar for a moment and picture yourself walking down the street of quiet-secluded neighborhood. You note that there are no cars in the driveways, which is usually a good sign that everyone is away at work leaving their empty homes behind. You finally reach the two largest homes in the neighborhood, both of which look equally as vulnerable. All of a sudden you notice that the home on the right has a home security yard sign posted on the front lawn, as opposed to the home on the left. Now as a burglar, which home would you prefer to burglarize? There is a common conception that posting a yard sign outside of your home will deter a burglar from targeting your home. Is this true?
