REALTORS® in Franklin, Michigan have found that some of their vacant listings have been broken into over the last week. Police reported that three forced entry break ins have occurred in Franklin off 14 Mile Road that have lock boxes on the front doors.
Franklin Police are issuing advisories for REALTORS® to keep their clients homes safe. They are asking that the lock box be hung on the side or back doors when ever possible. They also advise that porch lights be timed to come on at dusk to make them less attractive to thieves. Additionally, have a landscaper keep the drive and walks clear to make it appear someone is living there on a day to day basis. If not able to have a landscaping company keep the snow cleared, at least dive in and out of the drive numerous times.
It is also good policy for the REALTORS® to make contact with neighbors and ask them to call 911 and the REALTOR® if anything suspicious happens.
