NOBLE SQUARE — Ever wondered if your home could be a target for a burglar and why?

A "Keeping It Real" seminar, scheduled for 6 p.m. Tuesday at Pulaski Park Field House, 1419 W. Blackhawk St., will give residents a chance to speak with convicted burglars, who will offer tips on how to safeguard your home.

The gathering will be hosted by Shakespeare District (14th) police officers.

The "Keeping It Real" program, in which convicts nearing the end of their prison sentences give a thorough and frank presentation on their former strategies, has been rolled out in neighborhoods all over the city.
