Your home can never be secured entirely. But you can make it so difficult for the burglar, that he chooses another house instead. And it does not have to cost anything at all. The easiest way to avoid a break-in is to hide, that you are not home. First of all you should vary your routines, so it is not easy to know, what time of the day or night that you are away. It might sound difficult, but it can help a lot, if you just vary your departure time and arrival time just a little bit every day. If you are on vacation for a longer time, it is best to stop the delivering of mail and newspaper. If your mail box is filled with post, it is easy for the thief to see, that you are away. You can also arrange with the neighbor, that he will park the car the car in front of your house sometimes. Do also make arrangement about mowing the lawn and removing the snow. And finally do not write on Facebook, Twitter when you will be away; especially if you have an open profile that everybody can read. The thief is also beginning to use a computer, when they are searching for house to break into. Light is the thieves worst enemy. Good lighting is one of the greatest deterrents to crime. If there are places, where it is obvious to break in, make sure they are lighted well. Do also mount floodlight on the corner of your house. Then the walls are flooded with light in all directions You can also use plug-in timers to turn the light on or off, when you are away. This is a very cheap and effective way to keep the buglers away. If they do not know, whether you are home or not, they will find another house. Just vary the on and off time a little bit, so it is not obvious, that you are using an automatic timer. Always lock the shed with a large padlock. And do not leave ladders outside unattended. Many burglars do not bring their own equipment. Instead they use what they can find outside the houses. So do not make it easy for them to break in by giving them the necessary tools. Many burglars use the window to get into the house. So if you can protect your windows, you can avoid many break-ins. You can use a simple steal bolt or rod to make sure that the window cannot be opened more than a few inches (to get fresh air in the night). And it is easily removed, if you need to open the window more. If you feel the above isnt enough, you can also invest in an alarm system and security cameras. And a final word; remember the obvious. Lock the door and close the windows when you leave home. Martin Elmer is writing about how to secure your home in tyveri sikring.
