Tips and facts about security systems 2001 impala
Is your apartment or home to be empty for days or weeks while you go out of town? That is when the home usually is most vulnerable to break ins. Here are several things to help harden your home against burglaries.
* The best way to defend your apartment is to arrange for a house sitter. A house where someone is staying is always safer than an empty house. Try arranging for a friend or relative to live at your house for the time you are traveling.
* Temporarily stop newspaper and mail delivery when you travel out of town. Unread newspaper and mail calls attention to the fact that the house is unoccupied.
* If you potted plants visibly placed arrange for them to be kept well. Alternatively ensure that the potted plants are kept out of sight. Plants dying slowly imply that the house is not occupied.
* Use timers for tv and lights. Use timers on lights in several rooms. The timings for lights should look natural. The living room lights should come on at sundown. When it is time for bed the living room lights should go off and the bedroom lights should switch on.
If you commonly switch on tv at 9 and keep it on till 10 set the timer accordingly. The lights in the house may be on but the absence of the bluish tv glow may indicate to outsiders that this house is unoccupied.
* Get a neighbor to drop into your apartment now and then. Windows being opened and closed etc denote that the house is inhabited.
* If you rent a home or apartment it is usually a good idea to tell the owner that the apartment will be empty. The homeowner may want to check on the home now and then.
* If you have a security system installed make certain that the homesitter recognizes just how to use it.
* See that the house sitter can reach you easily. Whoever is checking on the home should be aware of exactly who to call if there is a problem.
