Misfortune may strike at any time. Don’t neglect to prepare for unfortunate events. The advice below will make for a great start.
A spare key must be carefully hidden and not in the obvious spots that a person might think. Avoid cliched hiding places like over the door frame or beneath the doormat. Experienced criminals will check these places immediately. Think outside the box and put the key someplace unusual, like hidden in your dog’s collar.
Is your ceiling resistant to fire? What about your flooring or roofing? Your home will get added protection, especially if your environment is dry and has power lines. Fire prevention should be taken seriously because it can stop a major disaster from happening.
If your social networking accounts are filled with folks you do not really know, do not announce vacations on the sites. While it is exciting to go to a new place and have a good time, you are letting thieves know that your house will be empty and they can come right in.
Make sure your attached garage is secure. A lot of garage owners fret over burglars entering this way, but there are answers. Place a C-Clamp on the door track near the roller. This will prevent the door from lifting.
Use your garage for your car, not just storage. Keeping your car inside will deter thieves from stealing or vandalizing it. Additionally, if your car is put away, burglars will not be able to tell whether or not you are home.
When having a company install your security system, you must trust your feelings. If the installers give you the heebie-jeebies, it’s not a good sign. Ask the company to send a different installer or simply change companies. Ultimately, the whole point is for you to have peace of mind.
Avoid placing spare keys under door mats or in plant boxes. Instead of letting you into your home in the event you are locked out, you are providing criminals with easy access to your home. Burglars always know just where to look. The wisest course of action is to leave a spare key with a trusted friend or a reliable neighbor.
Keep valuables out of sight of windows. Large windows let in a lot of light, but they also allow outsiders to see inside your living space. If your windows are facing the street, make sure you cover them and protect your valuables.
Even if you only plan to be gone for a very short time, lock your house. Most burglars gain entry to a home through an unlocked door. Thieves can steal a lot of valuable stuff in mere minutes.
Rotting Wood
If there is any rotted wood around your door frame, replace it. Rotting wood is easy to remove and take apart if someone is trying to get in. Replace rotting wood with new wood to stay safe.
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 can be risky for you and your belongings. You want to use caution to prevent danger.
Before you let any strangers enter your home, be sure you look over their references. Don’t be afraid of conducting background checks to determine if they have a criminal history. It is impossible to know if the newly hired maid or one time repairman might be a crook unless you check them out. Providing them with your key might be the biggest mistake you’ve ever made.
Burglars are not predictable, so you never know if you have become a target. Rather than crossing your fingers and hoping for the best, be proactive. Remember these guidelines, and do a lot of research to protect yourself.
