Handy Tips

As the saying goes, "Prevention is better than cure", well it can somehow fit this case. Whether or not your house have been burglared before, there is nothing wrong with taking measures to protect your valuables. You may have installed a burglar alarm but these things do happen anyway even with a burglar alarm. Now this may not gurrantee that your valuables will be safe the next time burglars break into your house but it will surely take a longer time for the burglars to find what they want and take it away. So here are a few steps to consider :

• Remove valuables from burglar friendly places such as : your master bedroom, your closet, dresser drawers adn nightstands
  
• Hide some of your money in a child's room or play area. Hide it on the underside of a child's table or the child's cooking set. You may even want to hide it in a stuffed toy. Be sure the money is out of the child's reach.

• Consider hiding valuables in unorganised or cluttered places such as store rooms. Burglars want in and out. They do not want to search through a gigantic mess.

• Use a diversion safe, such as a box of rice that is realy a safe, for some things. Be careful to only use high quality diversion boxes. Burglars are savvy to diversion boxes, so yours should look and feel like the real thing.
