Tips to avoid theft

What can you do to protect your home correctly while you are on vacation? Here are some simple tips:

1.  First of all, be discreet. In the midst of the euphoria of a trip, many people tell all the neighbors about their absence. The best thing is that few people find out. Thus, no one will know that the house is empty.
2.  before leaving home, spend some time taking care of even the smallest details. Leave all the windows closed and also the door of the house. In case you live in a flat located at high height, it is not necessary to leave the blinds completely lowered but at half height. But instead, if you live in a low-rise house, it is preferable.
3.  More and more homes have an alarm since in case of theft it is easier to act on time. It is true that it is a luxury that is worth money but it provides tranquility and a feeling of protection from any stranger. Luckily, there are competitive prices in the market, that is, you only have to compare different companies to choose the one that best suits your pocket and your financial possibilities.
4.  On the other hand, also be very careful not to leave any valuablesin an area that is visible from outside the house. Some houses have glass doors, so it is always easier to see what is inside.
5. Ideally, leave a key to your house to a person you trust completely. It may be a neighbor who is looking after your plants, taking the dog for a walk, and also picking up your letters from the mailbox. It is positive to give life to the home through these simple habits.
6.  Changing the door of the house is another viable alternative. When choosing the most effective one, it is better to think in practical terms instead of aesthetic ones.
7.  In summer, do not neglect your personal safety either. That is, take a small bag and place it in front of you to avoid unexpected theft. The less money you carry with you, the better. On the other hand, avoid taking your valuable jewelry in your vacation suitcase.
8. be very careful also with robberies on the beach. Never commit the imprudence of going to bathe leaving something of value within the reach of anyone. This type of theft can also occur in the pool. Therefore, it is advisable to be prudent and think about things before doing them. Of course, once a theft has occurred, the appropriate decision is to report it.
