A Guide To Avoid Home Burglary

​Burglary or theft is the leading risk of security. Burglars often enter the house when no one is around or at night. They steal assets, pieces of jewelry, cars, keys, and other things that will give them money. These are being sold to unauthorized stores for profit.

How To Avoid Theft?
There are a lot of things that may help in avoiding theft. Tips are listed for further dissemination.

Install Security Cameras
Security cameras like CCTV discourage the robber from stealing, for they know that even when no one is around, they can still be recognized. It is best to install these materials in a hidden place where a burglar may enter.

Hire a Security Guard
The technology can only watch the criminal but can't stop them from their wrongdoings. On the other hand, guards use human resources to secure the house. However, they require protection and proper equipment to protect their lives.

Thieves may use force to threaten; that's why guards should also be armed during their duty. Since they use the workforce, they also get tired and need some rest. This requires the owner to hire a subordinate to continue the responsibility.

Keep Doors and Windows Locked
Even if an individual is in the house, a thief may still break in. The best way to avoid the situation is to lock all the doors and possible entries the robber may use. Also, it is suggested to use grills for windows to prevent breakage.

Never Leave Keys under the Doormat
Keys are usually hidden under the doormat or flowerpots for the relatives to use. However, thieves have known this situation and may use the opportunity to enter the house. Key duplicates may be given to the relatives to carry with them.

Avoid Announcing a Vacation
Announcing a vacation also notifies a thief when you will be gone and when it is best to enter the home. Thus, you may do social media posts after the occasion.

Keep Bushes Short
Trimming bushes minimize the opportunity that it may be used as a cover for the burglar. Always maintain it clean and short. This will help the owner to see who is around.

Conclusion
