During the summer months, characterized by extended daylight and vacation times, there is often a rise in incidents of theft and burglary. To assist in preventing such occurrences and to improve safety, consider the following crucial recommendations:
 
Home Security:

• Ensure all doors and windows are locked: This should be practiced even when you are at home, particularly during nighttime or when you are in a different area of the residence.
• Utilize sufficient lighting: It is advisable to install motion-activated lights in the backyard and at entry points. Additionally, using timer lights indoors can create the illusion that your home is occupied.
• Fortify the perimeter: Trim back shrubs and hedges to remove potential hiding places for intruders.
• Implement a home security system: A prominently displayed alarm system can discourage would-be burglars and provide reassurance with features such as remote monitoring.
• Strengthen doors and windows: Consider the installation of deadbolts, window pins, and security films for added protection.
• Secure the garage: Ensure it remains closed and locked, and contemplate the use of motion detector lights.
• Avoid leaving spare keys outside: Burglars are aware of common hiding spots. Instead, provide a spare key to a trusted neighbor.
• Conceal valuables: Keep high-value items out of view, particularly those located near windows.

 
During Vacation:

• Make your residence appear inhabited: Request a neighbor to collect your mail and newspapers or arrange for the post office to hold your deliveries. Organize lawn maintenance or ask a neighbor to utilize your driveway for parking.
• Avoid publicizing your vacation plans on social media: Keep your photos and stories for your return. Inform the police: Notify them of your absence and ask for a vacation check.
• Protect your possessions: Think about storing valuables in a safe or a bank deposit box. Disconnect appliances and electronics: This will conserve energy and safeguard against power surges.

 
Food For Thought:

• Be a responsible neighbor: Stay vigilant regarding any unusual activities and report any suspicious occurrences to law enforcement.
• Label your valuables: Utilize an engraver to inscribe items with a distinctive number to discourage theft and facilitate recovery.
• Maintain a comprehensive inventory: Document descriptions, serial numbers, purchase dates, and values of your possessions.
• Exercise caution regarding scams: Be mindful of possible home improvement frauds.
• Inform your family about online safety: Make sure they understand the dangers of sharing vacation plans on social media.
