Football great Joe Montana and his wife Jennifer recently confronted an intruder in their home who attempted to kidnap their 9-month-old granddaughter during the middle of the day. Ernest Figueroa has a few tips and tricks from the county district attorney’s office to hopefully avoid such a violent act from happening to you and your family…
To make it more difficult for someone to enter your home, keep your doors and windows closed and locked. Install motion-activated lights; when a person is lurking around your doors, windows, bushes, and paths, you want something to illuminate the outside of your house. This serves both as a deterrent to the potential intruder, and gives you a heads up when someone is outside. Consider installing an alarm system. Get a dog.
Barking dogs are great deterrents for intruders. And consider using a baby monitor in every room. It’s a proactive measure your family can take to ensure a young child is heard in the event of a struggle or kidnapping.
