- The lights at your place should be adjusted properly so as to keep the external lights out of the reach of burglars and place the internal lights on a timer.
- Make sure it becomes difficult to break into your place from outside.
- The entrance should be protected with well built doors.
- See that you have a burglar alarm in place.
- Make sure that your personal documents saved with your computer can not be accessed while you are on a vacation.
- Ensure that all your valuables are properly hidden or entrusted with someone reliable while you are away.
From all these precautions, you should always remember that it proves more beneficial to avoid burglary rather than relying on any form of Theft Insurance coverage. With a little bit of caution from your part, you could turn your life into a safer haven and set example for others.
