Tips about Burglary

After a recent occurrence of burglaries in Fair Lawn, NJ, the time to update your burglar alarm service is upon us more than ever. Since July 17, it has been reported that 12 homes have been broken into throughout the town of Fairlawn, a rash of burglary that has the police baffled. Before you panic, take into account these tips to prevent being the victim of a burglary taken from the experts of T&R Alarm Systems Inc.

• Invest in a bolted-down safe that cannot be removed from your home, and store important documents inside. 
• Keep expensive equipment out of sight and covered up if possible, so that it does not catch the attention of people looking through windows and doors.
• Since the highest percentage of burglaries occurs during the summer months of July and August – while people are away – it is always a good idea to have a neighbor check up on the house and leave lights on timers throughout the night.
• Homes without private security systems and burglar alarm systems are 2/3rds more likely to be broken into.
• Jewelry is often a target of thefts, so keep jewelry out of obvious storage spaces and if possible in a locked and secured box or cabinet.
• Photocopy the receipts of expensive items for insurance reasons.
• Do not leave ground floor windows open for ventilation when you leave the house, since this is an easy way to access the house.

Take these tips to heart and do not fall victim to a burglary. If you are interested in upgrading your home to feature a burglar alarm system, speak with an expert at T&R Alarm Systems Inc.
