In any case, either in your primary residence or if you are lucky enough to have a summer house, you need to take appropriate measures to protect your home against theft, since summer is a favorable time for theft in home, because the houses are empty for a long time and we can always be carried away by the carefree vacation.This guide will provide some common sense tips you should always remember, that combined with your home insurance will help you protect your home this summer.
Always close doors and windows when you go down to the beach, go out to dinner at night or just go shopping, make sure all doors and windows are always closed tightly, especially if you live on a low floor. A window open and accessible is always an invitation to any thief who wants to make a quick robbery. Jewelry, money, electronics, etc.. are desirable goals that may be visible and are easily transportable. Therefore, if only for a moment you're out, do not forget to check that you do not leave anything open.
Connect the alarm regarding the above advice, once you've found that doors and windows are closed, connecting the alarm whenever you go to leave your house empty, if you have it. It is always better to be safe than to meet an unpleasant surprise because we did not want to take a moment to press the alarm button.
Leave nothing to the weather: if you have a garden or a porch, always nice to have a barbecue or have a drink in the heat of the night, but the enjoyment does not make you forget that there is nothing easier than to take something that is at hand. Do not let anything without collecting any utensil gardening, bikes, toys, easily forgettable as mobile phones, are things that can get in the open and already we find them the next morning.
Spare keys: Always have a spare key and trusted déjaselas someone as a neighbor or a friend. Do not ever ever leave spare keys in a super-secret hideout you believe as they do in the movies, because you can take a huge disappointment.
Do not leave your house empty too long: if you make a long trip or going to be away from home for a long time, someone is occasionally pass by your house to check that everything is in order. It is always good to see some activity in the house and it does not create the feeling uninhabited.
Empty your mailbox: a stack of letters, bills and flyers in your mailbox is a sure sign that you're out, and an invitation to any thief worth his salt. You can ask the doorman in your community or a neighbor collect the cards that they accrue to your inbox, to avoid it being so obvious that you are away from home.
Double-check that everything is closed: when you leave your house to take your vacation, you may be in a hurry to get to the airport as soon as possible and keep the train, but conscience and always check that all doors and windows are closed and the system connected alarm, if you have one. In the end this is the best way to protect your home against any assault.
