The whole story about home security decals stickers
Is your home or apartment to be empty for some days or weeks while you travel on vacation? That is when your home tends to be open to burglars breaking and entering it. Here is what to help make your home safer.
* The most effective defense is to have a sitter at home. An apartment where someone is staying is always safer than an empty house. Try getting a relative or a friend to stay at your house for the time you are traveling.
* Temporarily discontinue mail and newspaper while you are away. A full mailbox or newspaper piled up tells unlawful elements that the house is empty.
* If you have potted plants visible from outside ask someone to maintain them. Alternatively ensure the potted plants are not visible from outside. Dying plants give away that no one is home.
* Use timers to work tv and lights. Timers should run lights in several rooms. The lights should be switched on and off in a natural sequence. At dusk the lights in the living room should be turned on. When you normally retire the lights in the living room should turn off and the bedroom lights should switch on.
If you generally switch on tv at 7 pm and have it on till midnight or so the timer should do the same thing. The living room light may be on but the lack of light from the tv might be sufficient evidence that the apartment or home is empty.
* See if a neighbor can visit your house frequently. Doors and windows being opened signals that the house is not empty.
* If you live on rent tell the owner that you will be away. Your homeowner may want to check on the home regularly.
* If you have a burglar alarm installed see that the housesitter is aware of how to make it run.
* Make sure the neighbor knows how to contact you. The person responsbile for checking into the house should be aware of who they should notify should a problem arise.
