A: Ideally, you will take precautions to save yourselves from being put
in that position. The majority of thieves goes after easy targets, and homes
with unlocked doors and open windows. If you take some reasonable
security precautions, you'll be far less likely to have a burglary. Alarm
systems are one of the best things you can do. Even just having a sign
advertising you have a security system will deter intruders. Never open the
door to strangers or let them know you are alone. If you don't already have
one, install and use a peephole in your front door. Ask for identification
from strangers. Don't share phone information.

Thieves also target open garages, so make sure to lock your entry door
from the garage if you have one. Install automatic timers on lights and
radios. Lock your side gates, and install deadbolts on exterior and French
doors. Lock your cash, jewelry and other valuables in a fireproof safe,
ideally one bolted to the floor. As a bonus, the safe will also save your
belongings in the event of a fire. Keep photographic evidence of your
furnishings, and record serial numbers of any expensive electronics.

When you're out of town, inform the postal service (or your neighbors)
so that you won't have any papers or mail piling up in front of your home.

If you hear a burglar inside your home, stay away. Use a cell phone or
go to your neighbors and call the police. You don't want to come across a
potential armed or violent intruder. If you're inside and you can't get out,
lock the door of the room you're in and call 911. -- Doug

So let's discuss what it means
to have a right of first refusal.
Within the context of a home-
owners or condo association,
associations may commonly
have a right of first refusal to
purchase another unit or property
in the development or building.
Sam sees this all the time when it
comes to condominium associa-
tions and some homeowners
associations.

When a contract to purchase
comes in, the homeowner sub-
mits the contract to the associa-
tion for its review and the waiver
of the right of first refusal. It is
quite unusual for an association
to exercise its right of first
refusal. When it does, the associ-
ation has to purchase the proper-
ty from the owner at the purchase
price that the owners had agreed
to accept.

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Above all things, you might value dependability and reliability.

Someone may prove to be worthy of your allegiance in the upcoming week. Appreciate loyal

people even when pressing issues require your attention.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Focus on actively achieving your goals in the week to come.

Enlist the aid of someone who can help you attain your objectives. Key contacts may lift you

with a rising tide as they climb the ladder of success.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Make better headway in the week ahead by getting more organ-

ized and making a list of priorities. You can apply practical business strategies to your personal

choices too, and quickly get many tasks crossed off your list.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): When the writing is on the wall, you won't need to squint to see
it. It should be obvious that a loyal partner is focused on getting ahead in the world. You could
be able to share in the benefits and rewards in the upcoming week.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your most obvious talent in the week ahead lies in fearlessly handling
financial issues. Avoid wasting time on entertainments that are less than entertaining. You
could be under the gun to meet deadlines later in the week.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Family friction could be a distraction you yearn to escape as the
week unfolds. You have the practical skills and fortitude to complete whatever projects you
begin. Do what you can to clarify a situation.
