preventive measures Home invasion
Unfortunately, residential burglaries are quite common, but you can also take preventive measures to ensure that burglary becomes less attractive. Most burglars go for a quick booty and if you can cause any delay, there is less chance that your house will be burglarized.
- It may be simple steps, such as closing doors and windows when you leave the house.
- Place an extra lock on doors and windows.
- Don't hide your keys under a flowerpot or doormat - it is not a good place. Burglars are inventive and check the 'standard' hiding places.
- Make sure you haven't made it easy for others to enter your premises. Put a lock on the fence
- Do not hang an address label on your key chain
- Keep valuable papers and jewelry in a safe place If you have many valuables, consider purchasing a safe
- Beware of trash cans, ladders or other tools that can be used by burglars to climb inside
- Tell your neighbors or friends if you go on holiday. Get a programmable timer to turn the light on in your house. Try to give the impression that there is somebody in your house.
