How to Protect Your Home
When You Are Away
Don’t be a home burglary victim—take the time
and effort to make it tough for anyone to get in to
your home. Below are some burglary prevention
tips to refer to when you’re planning to be away
from home:
•
Make sure it appears you are home while you’re away.
Light and moderate noise may deter burglars.
•
Use plug-in timers on lamps to simulate occupancy.
•
Leave shades and blinds as you usually do;
however,
make sure the garage windows are covered so no one can see
if your car(s) are in or not.
•
Use timers to have the TV or radio turn on and turn
off during the day and at night.
•
Have lawns mowed, sidewalks swept, hedges clipped on
schedule.
Trim all shrubbery around windows so would-be
burglars can’t use them for cover.
•
Lock all exterior doors securely.
All exterior doors should
have dead-bolt locks. Lock gates to your yard.
•
Use safety latches on the windows
to keep below-average
crooks honest.
•
Form a neighborhood crime watch with the assistance
of your local police department.
•
Ask a trusted neighbor to watch your property when
you are away;
do the same for them.
•
Arrange to have a neighbor pick up your mail, circulars
and newspapers when you are on vacation.
Or, arrange
with your post office to hold your mail.
•
Never advertise your departure.
Thismay be easier said than
done, especially for those who often share personal information
on social networking sites (such as Facebook and Twitter).
•
Install locks that wedge and bolt in sliding doors and
double hung windows.
•
Invest in a good alarm system.
Check with the Better
Business Bureau to be sure the security company is reliable.
At the very least, buy a few alarm company signs—eBay is
good for that purpose.
•
Request a Security Check fromGPDwhile you are away.
The form is located at
/
Security-Check-Form0001.pdf. Be sure to read the fine print!
Print out the form, fill it in, and take it to GPD, at 809 Martin
Luther King Blvd.
Stay Safe, Sun City
