THE PLAYER ROLES TO BE ADOPTED ARE THOSE OF THE HOME DWELLER, NEIGHBOR, AND BURGLAR. BY DRAWING ON EACH PLAYER'S RESOURCES (E.G., TOOLS, SKILLS, AND IMAGINATION), THE READER GAINS INSIGHT INTO STRATEGIES TO EMPLOY TO FRUSTRATE A POTENTIAL BURGLAR. SPECIFICALLY, THE MANUAL CALLS ATTENTION TO LOCKS, INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS, RADIOS, VIGILANT NEIGHBORS, CLOSED GARAGES, WINDOW STOPS AND PINS, CLEVER HIDING PLACES, NOISY ALARMS, DOGS, AND A VARIETY OF OTHER IMPROVEMENTS THAT MAKE THE HOME LESS DESIRABLE TO BURGLARS.
