As the holidays approach end of the yearThefts are also on the rise. In this sense, Prosegur Alarms provided some suggestions for you to protect your home during this month:
Be very careful what you share on your social networks. Do not advertise your trips publicly on the Internet, this can lead burglars to conclude that your house will be empty. Social networks are one of the tools most used by criminals to define possible targets in a robbery.
Avoid leaving visible evidence that your home is vacant. Keep curtains, windows, and blinds closed at night, and make sure valuables are out of sight and reach. When you’re away from home, leave the light, radio, or television on to give the illusion that people are there.
Check that your Christmas lights are in good condition. Before you install lights around your house or Christmas tree, be sure to inspect and try to detect damaged wires, as well as replace broken bulbs. If you buy new lights, check that the equipment was made by a manufacturer that meets current safety standards.
Arrange with someone you trust to make regular visits to your home. If you’re away for a long time, this is a good way to make sure your home isn’t completely unoccupied and lessen potential threats. Give a copy of your house keys to a trusted friend or family member for these routine inspections.
Alarm system. Install a high security alarm system.
