SUMMARY:
– Obviously, you can’t be home 24/7. That’s why you need some extra eyes on your house for when you’re away. So, get on friendly terms with those who live around you.
– Showing off your costly stuff doesn’t do you any good. If anything, it only gives ideas to shady people.
– Your home could be a full-on fortress fit with high-end safety technology and state-of-the-art door and window locks. But if you carelessly left a ladder outside for the day, you could come back from work only to find that your house has been robbed.
– A flash of bright light in the dark of night may help you kill two birds with one stone. It’ll disorient the criminal for a few moments and give you a heads up that something’s going on in or around your house.
– If your lawn is unkempt, it’s a clear sign that nobody’s around to tend to it. Hire someone to do it for you while you’re away so that the wrong people don’t get the wrong idea.
– f your mailbox is brimming with newspapers, flyers, and other correspondence while you’re away, it also sends potential burglars a message that nobody’s been home for a while.
– You can share vacation plans with your trusted people, especially if you need them to check in on your house while you’re away, but social media is definitely a no-go.
– While burglars are more likely to break into a house from the first floor, they can see an opportunity in a tall-growing tree that looks right into a window on the second floor.
– This sounds pretty obvious, but you shouldn’t forget that burglars love silence. They prefer to go about their business quietly so that they don’t bring attention to themselves.
– A vast majority of burglaries are perpetrated by people who have been to your house before.
– If you leave a large pair of work boots on your porch, they’ll get a potential burglar thinking that there’s someone home at the moment.
– As much as you may love lavishness, you’d better at least keep it away from prying eyes. Burglars have a good eye for valuable items.
– Yes, that’s right, your garbage can tell potential robbers what to look for in your house. For example, if you throw away the box from a brand-new flat screen TV, they’ll know you have one.
