“We’d like to salute Mayor

spire open discussion on
the issue of densitv -
which, in view of Char
lotte’s steady growth, is
indeed the issue of the ’80s.
The kind of involved
leadership that Mayor
Gantt represents must
bridge the gap between
developers and neighbor
hood associations by de
veloping communication in
the beginning and nurtur
ing this communication
throughout development
opportunities. The goal, of
course, is positive and ac
ceptable growth for the
community of Charlotte.”

Burglars Aim
For Simple,
Fast Entry
By Lori Griei
Post Staff Writer
The Charlotte Police
Department's Crime Pre
vention Unit knows that
intruders, burglars,
thieves, call them what
ever you’d like, look for a
simple, fast entry; need
darkness or some form of
cover; and aim for the
target that's most avail
able.
They urge you to njake it
so tough that >;itri^gg&
will stay away from your'"
home altogether Here’s
how you can make it tough
in the following categories:
GvV. IVO
Good locks are one of the
best investments you can
make towards securing
your home. Make sure that
your locks are installed by
a qualified locksmith,
carpenter or hardware
dealer- and use the locks at
all times
A double-cylinder dead
bolt lock with a one-inch
throw is best.
DOORS
Exterior doors should
have solid cores. (The
doors in many newer
homes and apartments are
hollow-core.) Have a peep
hole installed at eye level
WINDOWS
If a burglar can't easily
get in a door, he may try to
pry open a window. Keep
all windows locked while
you’re away. Secure win
dows with metal pins to
keep them from sliding or
being lifted up or out of
their tracks.
Basement windows
should be secured with a
strong ornamental grille or
screen.
GARAGES
Keep garage doors
closed and locked The
single lock on this size door
is usually inadequate to
prevent an intruder from
prying it open Add an
other bolt and padlock to
the opposite side
ALARMS
There are many types of
alarms on the market.
Shop around and compare
their features and costs
before buying A good
watchdog can also be an
effective deterrent to bur
glars
An alarm system could
be used to supplement
proper locks, good lighting
and other common-sense
security practices
LIGHTING
Lighting is one of the
most important and sim
plest ways of securing your
home. Well-lit property is
much less susceptible to
theft. Install lights over a]]
outside doors. Keep lights
on inside when you're
away. Connect timers so
they can cut off aotoma
ticaHy, especially If you’re V
away overnight.
