Essentials about federal home security equipment
Is your house going to be unoccupied for more than a day or two while you take a break out of town? That is when the home usually is susceptible to burglaries and housebreaks. Here is what that will help you.
* The best solution is to have a keeper or sitter at home. Having someone stay at your home is very likely safer than a home or apartment that is unoccupied. Check if you can get a relative to remain at your home for the time you are away.
* Stop the mail and newspaper when the house is empty. Mail spilling out of the mailbox informs potential thieves that your home is empty.
* If you keep a garden or have potted plants that are visible arrange for them to be kept well. Or Else remove the potted plants away from sight. Wilted plants are a sign that the home is empty.
* Timers on lights and tv will help. Put lights in several rooms on timers. Use a natural looking sequence for the lights. At dusk turn on the living room lights. Around your normal sleeptime living room should turn dark and the lights in the bedroom should be switched on.
If you generally turn tv on at 8 pm most days and it remains on till 11 pm the timer should stick to those times too. Though the lights are on the absence of the bluish tv glow might be sufficient evidence that the apartment or home is empty.
* Ask a neighbor to drop into your home now and then. Doors being opened and closed and windows too convey that the home is inhabited.
* If you live on rent maybe you can tell the landlord that you are traveling. Your landlord may want to check on the apartment or home regularly.
* If you have an alarm system installed make it a point to see that the person who is house sitting knows how to make it run.
* Make sure the house sitter knows how to contact you. Whoever is checking on the home should be informed about who they should contact if any issue should come up.
