Home Security - Tips to Guard Against Break-Ins

Better lock it up. The art of getting something for nothing is the credo for any and all thieves, burglars, and rip-off artists. That's why it pays to lock up all windows and doors throughout any home, condo, or apartment. For the most daring thieves and lowlifes out there, robbing a place when people are actually at home presents quite a challenge; it may even provide a thrill or two. Don't let that happen.

Don't blow it. It's no secret that the cleverest thieves are also the most effective ones. Meaning, they've probably already done their homework when they decide which places they feel like robbing. That's why it pays to keep one step ahead of them by ensuring that any outside air conditioning and/or Heating units can't be easily reMoved. To guard against the most brazen and daring thieves, bolt those individual units in place from the inside.

Get a new window on the world. Okay, so we're only talking about basement windows, but most homes (especially older ones) have very old (and easy-to-open) ones. Make plans to install heavy-duty basement windows. Burglars hate homeowners who know how to protect themselves. Think about it - to them, security-conscious tenants and homeowners are just plain bad for business.

Don't walk on broken glass. When Annie Lennox, formerly of the British pop duo the Eurhythmics, released "Walking on Broken Glass" in January 1992, she probably wasn't talking about in-home safety measures, but more about the shattered pieces of a broken heart. Whatever the case may be, replacing in-home glass doors with either fiberglass or metal ones just makes good sense. In fact, it could help prevent undo heartbreak at the hands of an opportunistic intruder.

And of course an article sponsored by Home Security Store would not be complete without urging homeowners to invest in a home alarm system. Not only will this lower your homeowner's insurance, but decrease the odds that your house will be broken into. To take home security even a step further there are surveillance systems that are now offered at a much more inexpensive and economical price than ever before. A surveillance system can work as a deterrent and also help police in catching the thief, leading to the recovery of your stolen goods. If you are responsible enough to buy and own a house, then you should know that home security starts with the owner. Be sure to educate yourself and your family. But perhaps more importantly hold yourself accountable and take action to ensure that your "home sweet home" stays sweet, secure, and safe.
