Protect Your Home From Holiday Theft

Though the holidays are often seen as the season for joy and giving, burglary rates significantly increase during the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas. People have their guards down and their homes filled with gifts, so criminals seize the opportunity to snatch up expensive purchases including electronic devices, top of the line toys and jewelry as well as cash and other valuables in the home. Police say that during the chaos of the holiday season people often forget to activate their alarm systems, lock their doors and leave pricey items unsecured in cars. Even though all the shopping, decorating, cooking and planning can get hectic, be mindful of your security. Make sure alarm systems are installed and activated as most burglaries occur between 7:30 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., when no one is in the home. Consider forming a neighborhood watch group, if only during the holiday season. If you wil be at work, ask a neighbor to bring in any packages left outside your door. Lastly, photograph the serial numbers of personal items in your home. This will help you to not only claim your losses, but aid law enforcement in tracking the items if they are stolen. If you live in the New York, New Jersey area and do not currently have an alarm system, call T&R Alarms at 1-800-486-5019 for a free estimate and assistance in choosing the right security system for your home.
