Never enter your house if the door open. This can be very dangerous because the thief may still be inside. Your best bet is to call the cops and wait outside for them to get there.
If you are going on a vacation, arrange to have whoever is collecting your mail to also pick up fliers placed inside your door. Burglars sometimes place fliers as a means to see if the owner removes them.
You need to get a home security system. Both hidden and visible security cameras are effective in protecting your home safe. Visible cameras deter many intruders, and if they try to disarm them, your hidden camera can record the action. A lot of surveillance systems may be accessed through a cell phone, so you can monitor your home while you are out of town.
Make sure your address numbers are visible from across the street. If your numbers cannot be plainly seen, police may drive right by.
Your pup is a great tool for protecting your home from intruders. Dogs become extremely protective of their families and are great at barking when something is afoot. It doesn’t even have an aggressive dog. Even small dogs that make a ton of noise will deter a potential crime.
You must focus on home safety. This is something that is not disputable. Effective methods of home security are not always obvious, but hopefully this article has opened your eyes to some possibilities.
