Keeping the doors and windows shut may not be the best way to protect your house but it is better than leaving your house open. Use long sticks on the inside of the windows to avoid burglars from breaking in by sliding them. Never leave the windows which are easily accessible by outside open when you leave the room or go to sleep.
You may not get mugged when wearing expensive jewelry, watches, or money while being on street but you can become easy to notice and get followed. Robberies are always planned. The burglars tend to rob the house of people who have more expensive items at home. Try to hide all such things when you go out. If you have expensive jewelry or other items at home that are not well-protected, buy a safe or get a locker at a bank.

If you stay away from home often or are going on a long vacation, don't lock your door from the outside and leave valuables at home. A door with a huge lock draws attention. It's a sign that no one has been there for many days. Take valuable items with you or drop them at your friend's house.
