Don't Forget Your Windows(one)


Patio doors and sliding windows are relatively easy to get out of their frames. A thief could do it by just lifting it up out of the frame (works just as well from the outside as it does when you lift them out for cleaning from the inside). The way to fix this problem is to drive a few screws into the top track above where the door or window sits when it's closed. The trick is, don't drive the screws all the way in, leave the screw heads protruding about 1/4". The protruding heads make it impossible to lift the door or window up high enough to lift the bottom out of the frame when it's closed. You can still remove the door or window for cleaning by sliding it over to the open position (where there aren't any protruding screw heads) and just lift it out of the frame.

You don't need to do anything very fancy to stop windows and doors from being slid open. The old reliable idea of a "stick in the track" effectively blocks them from being slid open. Cut a piece of dowel (about 3/8" diameter) to fit into the track. When you're inside, you can easily pick up the dowel in the track, but its round shape makes it hard for someone to dislodge it from the outside. Paint the dowel to match your window frame and it will virtually unnoticeable.Cool

Defend Your Home and Possessions Against Intruders! (Three)

Defend Your Home and Possessions Against Intruders! (Two)

Cool--House Sitters

Even if you have an alarm system, house sitters are invaluable. If you leave your home to go on vacation, your best defense is having actual people in your home. The majority of burglaries in the United States happen during the day while people are at work. Criminals will take the easiest route. If people are in their targeted home, they will move on to a house that appears empty. The problem with traditional house sitting services is that they simply make one or two trips to your home a day to collect mail, open curtains, water plants, and throw off criminals. That still leaves about 23 hours in the day that your home is vulnerable to intrusion or fires.

The best house sitting option is to have people living in your home. If you have a friend or family member stay at your home full-time throughout the length of your vacation, you will worry less about burglaries, fires, and other problems such as coming back to a flooded home because of a broken hot water heater.

Having a house sitter also cuts down on preparation time and expenses before your vacation. You won't have to have your mail stopped (all a criminal has to do is watch your postal carrier skip your house to assume you're on vacation), buy and set light-timers, or even board the dog.

Don't have a friend or family member who can stay at your home? There are services available that match up people and live-in house sitters. It's as though someone is renting your house while you're on vacation, only they generally don't pay you rent. They will pay utilities, mow the lawn, take care of your mail, pets, and home while you're away. They will notify you of any problems. The services help you screen candidates and find the perfect person, couple, or family willing to take care of your home.

Cool--The Solution

The very best prevention you can implement is a combination of 24-hour home alarm monitoring and a house sitter if you are going to be away for any length of time. Don't become a statistic. Start protecting your home today!

Be protect , Be happy , Enjoy you life !

Security Tips

Take a walk around your home and look at it from a burglars point of view. Where would be the easiest place to break in? Where could you hide if a car approached? Is there a point of entry that is not easily seen from the street or a neighbor's window?

 

Making your home a less attractive target is the goal.Security stickers and yard signs are a great way to make burglars look for an easier opportunity, but there are many things you can do to make your home more secure

灯泡Home security- -Doors,windows and locks

 

  • Exterior doors should be metal or solid-core or 1 ¾ “ hardwood. Hollow doors should only be used for interior applications.

  • Make sure each door fits snug in its frame with no more than 1/8” clearance. When locked, the door should close tightly with no wiggle room. If there is a gap between the door and the stop, the door is much easier to force open.

  • Make sure all doors to the outside have good locks. Every door that leads to the out side should have locks including: screen and storm doors, garage doors, basement doors and sliding doors. Where applicable use deadbolts with a minimum of 1 ½” bolts

  • Lock up every time you go out, even if you will only be gone a short time. Almost 50 percent of burglars enter homes or property through unlocked doors or windows.

  • Never hide keys outside in a secret location. Burglars know where to look! Leave a spare key with a trusted neighbor instead.

  • Secure sliding glass doors with bars or locks, or put a wooden dowel or broom handle in the door track.

  • Make sure all windows, but especially those on the first floor, have good locks and make sure you use them.

灯泡Landscaping and lighting

 

  • Make sure all entryways are well lit; Use 60 watt bulbs or brighter where possible. A well lit house is a less attractive target.

  • Keep shrubs trimmed below windows to reduce cover. A burglar would rather enter through a window that is hidden from view than one where he is exposed.

  • Exterior lighting equipped with motion detectors are available at most home improvement stores. Use them to scare off would be burglars.

  • Make sure all entryways are well lit; Use 60 watt bulbs or brighter where possible. A well lit house is a less attractive target.

  • Exterior lighting equipped with motion detectors are available at most home improvement stores. Use them to scare off would be burglars.

灯泡Vacations and other tips

 

  • Turn the ringer on the telephone down low. If a burglar is around, he won't be alerted to your absence by a ringing phone

  • Window air conditioning units should be bolted to the wall to prevent them from being easily removed from the outside.

  • If you purchase televisions, computers, stereo equipment or similar items, dispose of the boxes in a discrete manner. Putting the empty carton on the curb, is like advertising your valuables to burglars.

  • Use automatic timers to turn on lights and televisions at different times of the day. Leaving one or two lights on constantly is a sure sign that no one is home.

  • Have neighbors, friends or family pick up your mail, mow your lawn, use your garbage cans, and park in your driveway when you are away. Even if a burglar knows you are away, the activity around your home will act as a deterrent.

The Options
Never underestimate the resourcefulness of an intruder. Simply locking your doors and windows isn't enough. If you can think of a way to get into your home, surely someone who makes crime his living will be able to as well.

You also shouldn't overestimate the resourcefulness of neighbors. Neighborhood watches are fine, but how many of your neighbors spend every hour you aren't home watching your house? How would they distinguish between a furniture delivery and a robbery? Can you tell just by looking if someone is simply walking for exercise or casing houses for possible burglary attempts? Even houses less than a mile from police stations are easily robbed.

There are more effective options that will prevent break-ins and make your home secure.Cool
I will tell you tomorrow!

Defend Your Home and Possessions Against Intruders! (one)

With all of the emphasis in the past few years on Homeland Security, many people have overlooked the importance of home security. safeguarding your home soon becomes the most important issue in your world.

The Facts

There's no reason to wait until it happens to you. According to the US Bureau of Justice Statistics, about 75% of all crime in the United States is property crime. In 2003, there were 14 million thefts of property. In 83% of these crimes, the burglars actually entered the home or some other building to steal property.

According to the FBI's Uniform Crime Reports, residential burglaries in 2003 averaged $1600 in property or cash loss per incident. This does not include repair of locks, doors, windows, and other destruction. Are you willing to give $1600 (not to mention the security of your home and safety of your family) to a burglar?

It can happen to anyone. Whether you live in an urban, suburban, or rural area, you are a target of burglars. What are you going to do about it?
