A Public Service Announcement...

Since it’s a well-known fact that all the senior executives of all of the “Fortune 500” companies are regular readers of this blog [koff-koff-bullshit-koff], it is worthwhile pointing out the fact that due to improvements in workplace security postures, executives’ private residences are becoming more tempting targets for the bad guys.

Hence, these suggestions:

• Get an unlisted phone number


• Use a P.O. box (or a private mailbox service) to receive personal mail


• Vary your routes to and from work on a daily basis


• Install an alarm system and motion-sensor lights


• Keep doors and windows locked at all times


• Report suspicious persons and encourage your neighbors to do the same


• Never admit solicitors or strangers into your home


• Make sure your home’s floor plan is not on the Web (builder’s website, or real estate agency)


• Develop and practice a security plan and emergency procedures with all members of the household

These steps are equally valid for single women.
