The most productive time for residential thieves become protracted holidays and the summer holidays. Before packing your bags and go to the airport, remember a simple rule �
- Going on vacation, it is not necessary to share plans with strangers. The same should be taught and children. It is important to explain to the child what to tell your friends about the family jewels grandmother, which are hidden in the old boot in the attic, as home safe, which stores all your savings, you can't.
Neighbours, on the contrary, you need to make contact. Knowing your habits, the approximate order of the day and a circle of close friends, they will be the first to pay attention to a suspicious noise in your apartment, or a stranger on your doorstep. If they will know the number of your mobile phone in case of an emergency will be able to contact you or dial "02".
-. Indicator long absence hosts the mailbox overflowing accounts and advertising brochures. Leaving for a long time, ask friends or neighbors to empty it at least once in two weeks.
- Upon entering the apartment, the thieves begin to search the most popular "geocaches". If you think a linen closet, a volume of Shakespeare, the tank of the toilet, a washing machine, a clothes basket, freezer, oven or microwave can be used as a makeshift safe, you are mistaken. It is here that the thieves will be looking for in the first place. In the kitchen they will look into the jars with bulk products, in the living room to check the pots. So to hide the diamond rings in the cactus or the bag of buckwheat pointless.
- If you keep the apartment valuables and a large sum of money, it would be wise to purchase a safe. It must be installed in accordance with the recommendations of experts, securely fastened and - ideally - masked. Carpets and pictures as a screen, it is better not to use: they are for the thief as red Cape of the Matador for the bull. Note that, if you go away for a long time, the thief will have enough time to find and crack the safe, so it is better to give their treasures to the relatives or rent a cell in the Bank.
- The window is the most vulnerable place of each house. Glazing to protect the apartment from dust and street noise, and to require them to do more is not necessary. An experienced thief will open them easily, although he often does not even have to bother: attackers typically use a window that many owners against all laws of logic is hard not to want to close. Residents first and second floors have the meaning set grids on the Windows. Light, of course, will be less, but to sleep away from home you will be calmer.
- If your apartment is easily visible from the street or from the Windows of the opposite house, including light, tightly draws the curtains. No need to tease criminals sight of your new plasma TV, laptop latest model or collection of silver coins of the reign of Catherine II, in a neat wall frames. However, the lights in the apartment, and working radio, can deter uninvited guests.
Of course, it would be good to install an armored double door or a complex system of electronic locks, however, complicate the task of the attackers can be quite budget. First, we need to strengthen the door frame metal pins, which are concrete in walls, ceiling and floor. Secondly, install the door opening to the outside to make it almost impossible. Thirdly, to put not less than two castles, preferably of different designs. The most economical option - sturdy metal chain, popular in Soviet times and underestimated modernity.
