Spring Is Here!
So Spring into Action and Protect your Home with an Alarm System from Rendin Alarm!
Despite the awful cold weather here in the Northeast United States, it IS Spring. As of today! But the fact that it has been so cold has prompted many folks to take those Island Vacations now! And that is awesome!
But there are burglars out there who thrive on people’s vacations. Its an all too familiar story. Folks come home from a wonderful trip away only to find that they have been robbed while they are away. There are lots of things you can do to safeguard your home from a burglary. Foremost is enlisting Rendin Alarm Company to help protect your home.
But in addition to that, you may follow these tips:
Ask Someone to Keep an Eye on Things
Having a good neighbor keep an eye on your home is a great idea.
Install Timers on Your Electronics
Having lights and maybe even a stereo go on at varying times gives the impression of you being home.
Have Someone Mow the Lawn/Shovel the Driveway
You “Must be home” if your grass is freshly mowed or driveway is shoveled.
Stop the Mail
Takes 5 minutes at the post office. OR – have that great neighbor bring your mail in for you.
Beware of Social Media
Your vacation pics are awesome. But they will be just as awesome if you post them when you get home! Posting that you are away is an invitation to be robbed.
Lock Everything
And we mean everything! Every window, door and transom.
Don’t Leave Spare Keys Out
No keys under the Matt, flower pot or stone. And if you are in long term parking, don’t leave them in your car.
Lock the Garage Door
There’s probably lots of valuable items in your garage as well. And tools and ladders to force entry on the second floor. But those windows are gonna’ be locked, right?!
Don’t Lead Burglars to Your Home With Your GPS
They think of everything. If you have built in GPS, clear any memory of your home address. Burglars break into cars at airports and take your home address off your GPS.
Stash Valuables in the Safe
Don’t have one? Get one!
Have Someone Take the Trash Out
Again. Appearances are everything!
Hire a House Sitter
The best you can do! They may eat all your food, but it’s worth it!
Finally, a well-lit perimeter, Rendin Alarm Signs and stickers posted at points of entry and a car in the driveway are great deterrents!
