Are you fearsome of package theft? According to a survey conducted by Safewise.com, package theft is the most worrisome crime issue for Americans, with nearly 50% of survey respondents stating they feared it would likely happen to them at some point. Here are plenty of things you can do to keep your home, family, and packages safe.
Alarm System
For maximum security in your home, you can have All Florida Alarms install an alarm and monitoring system. These systems can be installed in your home wirelessly, are easy to maintain, and manageable by your phone. Most systems have motion detection (your pet won’t set it off) and camera systems with the latest technology. No matter how many points of entry you have and what type of home you have, there is an alarm for you. This is your best bet when it comes to protection.
Lighting
Lights, indoors and outdoors can deter bunglers from taking your packages. Motion-sensing floodlights are great to have installed to track any unwanted visitor outside your home. Providing lights around points of entry in the home can also help your neighbors to notice any strange situation as well. Set timers for indoor lights so it appears you are home.
Trash & Recycling
If a burglar is planning their target home in advance, they may go through your trash to get some insight on what you own or have ordered. But sure to shred up any papers with financial or account info , or anything that might suggest something is on its way.
Cars
Do not leave any packages in your car overnight even if they aren’t valuable. It’s tempting to break in when there’s anything on the seats. Car clickers are more susceptible than ever to get intercepted by a device, so put your keyless fob in a metal container in your home to avoid the signal from being intercepted.
Buildup of Mail
If you’re going away, it’s really important to have a neighbor collect your mail for you or have it held at your local post office. Ask a neighbor to collect your mail and packages for you so nothing is sitting over a long period of time.
Protect your home from any and all possibilities!
