Get to know as much about your neighbors as you can

If you haven’t had much interaction with the people in your community in the past, now is the time. Get to know as many people in your immediate area as possible. Have a party. You don’t have to spend a lot of money, just go to the grocery store. Pick up some little smokies, cheddar cheese, peanuts, couple of cases of soft drinks and some instant iced tea.

Look for strange behavior in your neighbors

They might be watching you for the PI. It is a fairly common practice for a good PI to troll the neighborhood asking a few questions. If they can locate a neighbor that might be willing to keep an eye on things and take a few notes it saves them the time of having to monitor the location personally.
