It is likely you know of someone who has been the victim of a burglary at some point. People have to be very careful about home burglaries these days because they are increasing in frequency. Home invasions can occur anywhere; no neighborhood is immune. The following article shows you some of the things you can do for your own security.
Don’t throw away boxes for expensive or valuable items until the garbage collection day. Exposing the box to view ahead of time signals a burglar that he will find this item in your home.
You need to change our locks as your first step to ensuring your safety. Maybe you had a roommate move out or have a disgruntled ex-lover, changing the locks is the best way to keep yourself safe. Changing the locks can typically be done very cheaply and quickly.
You should clean your yard of vegetation and dead wood. When summer heats up, such debris can catch fire. To make sure your home is safer, clear your yard periodically.
Security System
Deadbolts with captive keylocks are the best locks on the market. The devices are equipped with thumb latches that prevent people from reaching around to open the lock via a an adjacent broken window. When you are at home, leave the key in the lock so that you can get out in case of a fire.
Even if you have a great security system, it must be checked annually. Get a professional in to check it out. There are many reason why a home security system can have problems, and it might be the weather or wild animals that cause it to malfunction. If you cannot see a problem, you might not know one exists.
If you get home and notice an open door, do not go in to see what has happened. You have no way of knowing whether the thieves are still inside. Instead, wait outside until the police come, after calling them on your cell phone.
Are you aware of the value contained in your home’s wiring? People often don’t think about this until they have it stolen from their home. Copper wiring is very valuable and susceptible to being stripped from the outside of your home. That’s why it’s important to hide your wiring, or make it hard for criminals to have access to it.
A good way to scare off intruders is to keep your house lit at nighttime. This will deter crooks from trying your home. With a well lit home there is no place for burglars to conceal themselves. Keep lights on during the night.
Stay on good terms with your neighbors and you will know if there has been any suspicious activity in your area. If there are unfamiliar people hanging around, the busybodies in your neighborhood will notice. By being friends with them, the probability of them notifying you immediately is higher.
If someone from the security company comes to your home, ask to see their ID before allowing them in. Intruders can easy pass themselves off as an employee of a security company just to get inside your house. This could be quite dangerous. Be cautious to stay safe.
Sometimes thieves knock on the door, then burst in and cause trouble once it is opened. If a stranger needs help, keep the door closed and offer to call the police or an ambulance for them. It is even appropriate to call 911 if you feel the need.
Be very cautious about entrusting a maid service with a key to your home. If you plan to give them a key so they can clean in your home while you are away, ensure they are reputable and honest. Do a background check on them. If they work for a firm, call the local Better Business Bureau to find out that firm’s reputation.
Devote extra security to your irreplaceable possessions. This includes important documents, jewelry and keepsakes. Keeping such valuables under lock and key (in a floor safe, for example) is a good way to provide the extra protection they need. To be even more cautious, you can get a safety deposit box at your local bank.
You need to inquire about whether you can buy or lease the home security equipment. Purchasing your equipment may cost more in the beginning, but this is a one-time cost which does not recur. Leasing is often less expensive, but it may involve contracts and higher monthly fees. Check out both options to discover the best one for you. The option that’s best for one person may not be best for another.
Buying home alarms is terrific, but only in the case where someone will contact the police when they sound. The wiser investment is in centrally monitored security systems. These alarm services ensure that the police will be called whether anyone is home or not. You can’t always trust just the noise from the alarm to scare off the intruder.
Be brave! Speak with your neighbors. Watch their houses, and ask if they’d do the same. Listen for gossip too. You may stumble across valuable security information, like if someone has noticed a stranger lurking around the neighborhood.
Don’t make the mistake of believing that break-ins only occur in pricey areas. Any home that can be broken into is a target. If you use these tips to better your security measures, you can better protect your family and home from burglars.
