Did you know that every 26 seconds a home is being targeted by a burglar? Unfortunately, there are still grinches out there that likes to ruin the holiday spirit even though this season would keep everyone on their best behavior.
Holiday season should bring us all joy, laughter, and good feelings all around and we should not allow burglars to steal our holiday spirit!
By lighting up your home and sending cheers to your neighbors, this will keep your home safe without getting the burglars attention.
Here are our 5 tips that will help secure your home this holiday season.
1. Think Twice Before you Share on Social Media
Tree shopping, apple picking, sledding, and caroling are some of the best things to do this time of year but it also let others know that you're not home.
Sharing all of your adventures and activities with friends and families through social media is like posting your whereabouts online for the public to see and for those that have ill intentions can spell out home burglary.
Social media is the place to share your daily life happenings just like sharing a new accessory to your followers. Always remember to give a pause when away from the house before posting so that you will not invite strangers over when you are not home.
2. Shopping Curbside
When tossing away boxes and/or any packaging always do it carefully because this seems like a second nature to us all humans. Freely placing boxes on the curb for pickup is like telling the whole world what you have.
Break down large boxes like TVs, gaming systems, etc.
3. Fake It
I bet you have seen Home Alone, it's a national treasure! Always be like Kevin and play like you are at home or home alone even when you are away. In the movie, Kevin automatically turns on the light both indoor and outdoor as if someone is really at home.
Local hardware stores offer a simple auto timer for indoor and outdoor lights and will only cost you for a few dollars.
Let's face it, we all forget to turn off our outdoor decorations on a timer. Not to mention, this also helps with the extra electricity bill.
4. Trim the Tree
Trimming back your shrubs and bushes outside your home does not mean putting the ornaments in the tree. Plants still grow year-round and still need TLC in most locations. Blocking your windows and doors with shrubs and plants are a great place hiding place for burglars that are trying to break in. Think about adding security screens on your windows and Crimsafe® Security Entry Doors to detract burglars.
5. Add a Custom Patio Enclosure
Adding security screens, Crimsafe® Security Doors, and Custom Patio Enclosures to your Oahu home helps you protect not just your home and possessions, but most importantly your loved ones then the holidays. It also provides you peace of mind.
Let’s all start rocking around the tree because the most wonderful time of the year starts with a safe and secure home and don't worry, Santa can still deliver your goodies when your home is outfitted with Crimsafe® Security Doors and Custom Patio Enclosures with Patio Doors.
