Hot tips related to home and network and security
Is your apartment or home to be empty for many days while you go on an outing? That is the time your home is most susceptible to housebreaks. Here are several things you can do to deal with it.
* The best way out is to get someone staying at home. Having someone at home is commonly safer than a home or apartment that is unoccupied. Try getting a trustworthy friend to hang out at your apartment when you are away.
* Stop the mail delivery and newspaper delivery while you are away from home. Unread newspapers and an overflowing mailbox announces that nobody is home.
* If you have potted plants passersby can see get someone to come in and water them. Or move the potted plants away from sight. Plants not being taken care of tell potential burglars that no one is home now.
* Timers on lights and tv will help. Timers should run lights in several rooms. The lights should turn on an off in a natural manner. The lights in the living room should switch on at sunset. Subsequently the living room lights should go off and the lights in the bedroom should be switched on.
If you generally switch on tv at 7 pm and have it on till midnight or so set the timer accordingly. Though the lights may be on the absence of light from the tv can give a clue that this house is unoccupied.
* Ask a neighbor to drop in and check on your house frequently. Curtains and windows being opened are signs that somebody is home.
* If you rent the apartment or house perhaps you can tell your landlord that the house will be unoccupied. Your landlord may want to check on the home now and then.
* If you use an alarm system see to it that the home sitter recognizes exactly how to run it.
* Make sure you leave your contact details with the neighbor. The person responsbile for checking into the house must be well aware of who to call should any issue crop up.
