How to Prevent Robberies When You are in Vacation
Before you leaving:
- It is important to make sure that you do not have any items waiting to be received. Be wary of Unregistered sellers.
- Always keep the door closed. Invest in a good lock and install a peephole.
- At night, if possible, guarding the entrance to the house turned on. It’s better to see and be seen. If your house is lit on the outside and the outside lights on inside, the thief can be seen, and but he can not see inside the house.
When you go on vacation:
- Use automatic timers to turn lights, radio or television on and off.
- Ask a neighbor you trust, to collect the daily mail, newspapers and deliveries, and parked the car in your garage while you are away.
- Leave the radio, should be set to the station with talk shows and programs with low volume. This will give the impression that the conversation occurred in the house.
- Ask your neighbors, to change the daily position of the curtains and blinds your house (to give the impression of a house inhabited).
- Keep your lawn irrigation system auto timer.
- Do not give your vacation plans.
- Do not leave valuable items in the house; move them to a safe place while you are away.
- Leave your keys, only with people you have absolute confidence.
- Is the documentation to support your stuff.
- Mark valuables with ID Numbers. Refuge in the access point, such as doors, windows, etc.
- Do not leave keys hidden outside your home. Insurance companies do not pay if the theft was not committed with force and power.
- If you have voice mail, so stay on to ensure that you receive a message to everyone, while on vacation.
Please do not provide information through recorded messages such as “You call ‘LOPEZ’ residence, we are not at home, so please leave a message after the BEEP, and we’ll call back after we return” OR “I’m sorry the mailbox is full”! It’s better to leave a message like “At this moment we can not accept your call, so please leave a message after the BEEP”.
When you return from vacation:
- After arriving at your home, take the keys in your hand and enter without delay.
- When you arrive at home and if it is clear that there is a robbery did not go. Go to a neighbor’s house and called the police.
- If you’re at home when the thief came in, act as if you were sleeping. Unless there is immediate danger, pretending to sleep can save your life.
- If you are suddenly confronted by a robber, try to remain calm. The possibility that he was as surprised as you. Police recommend that you tell the thief with a full peace, “Tell me what you want and I’ll give it to you”. Most thieves will run. Far better to lose an hour than lose your life. Call the police immediately after the robber leaves. Do not touch anything because it can affect and change a few tests.
- If an intruder attack, doing everything possible to escape.
