Deterring a Burglar (Home Security tips)


TIPS FOR SECURING YOUR HOME
Create multiple layers of defense that a thief must yet through in order to gain access to your flume. 

1. ALARM SYSTEM 
FACT. A study by Rutgers University proved that criminals avoid houses with professionally monitored alarm systems. This research also proved that the more houses with monitored alarms in a neighborhood, the safer the neighborhood 

2. GARAGE SECURITY 
Frost or cover your garage windrows Don't do thieves any favors by enabling them to see when your vehicle is gone. A better idea would be to replace the door with one without windows 

3. SECURITY LIGHTS 
Light up the house. Scare oft those unsavory characters with movement sensor lights

4. TOUGH GLASS 
Consider investing in superior doors and windows that merit as easy to break through and that are Nudged with glass sensors that notify you when your windows are broken into.

5. SHRUBBERY 
Maintain shrubbery so that it's tall enough to create a barrier, but low enough that an intruder can't hide 

6. HOME SECURITY SIGNS 
Placing these signs around your homes perimeter can deter criminals by letting theim know that the house is being monitored against crime 24 hours a day, 7 days a week .


HOME SECURITY "DON'TS" 

Don't put out a caring card with boxes that contained expensive items, like the flat screen TV you just bought. Keep these items in the garage until garbage day.

Don't leave extra keys tauter doormats, potted plants or any other obvious outdoor location Thieves could easily find them. If you must hide keys, find an Inconspicuous place, or give a set to a trusted neighbor.

Don't put your name on your mailbox These days it's very easy for a thief to find your phone number online and then call to see it you re at home.

Don't use locks that can be opened with a device called a 'bump key". Bump keys can be purchased very inexpensively and work on roughly 90% of home door locks.


WHILE YOU'RE AWAY 
Avoid obvious clues that you're nut home
  • Resist leaving notes on the door for service people or family members, 
  • Turn down the telephone ringer, so burglars won't hear that you aren't there to answer 
  • When you go on vacation, leave a trusted friend or neighbor in charge of your house. Its good to have them collect mad, water plants and flick on and off some lights to show activity on the premises. 
  • Set items such as lamps and radios on a timer so It looks like your residence isn't vacant
