Staying safe is a basic human need. Unfortunately, there are people out there that aren’t too worried about you and your safety. Burglars and thieves are out looking for a free ride and if that means breaking into your home and stealing your things, that is what they will do. With some careful planning and help from Long Island home security, you can keep burglars away.
- Don’t be obvious. Everyone talks about hiding items in the cat litter, in the back of the toilet, and keeping valuables in the bathroom. Don’t put your items in these places as they are becoming quite obvious for burglars to check.
- Use your child’s bedroom. What burglar wants to make their way through a kid’s
bedroom? They are usually full of toys that are loud and scattered and who would trust their valuables with their children? Well, trick anyone out to do you wrong by hiding items in your child’s room. You can cut open a stuffed animal and stuff valuables inside and then stitch it back up. You can also do this with pillows and other items that a thief would typically ignore. - Consider a fake electrical outlet. Install a deep outlet box to hide your valuable treasures in. You can get them at any hardware store and they are easy to install. All you have to do is make a hole in your wall and insert the box. For even more protection, add electrical outlet covers.
- Empty containers make good hiding spots. When you finish with your bottles of condiments, body wash, shampoo, or conditioner wash them out. You can use them to store jewelry, cash, or anything else that they will hold. Just make sure they are colored so burglars won’t suspect anything.
Luckily, you can fool those who are out to no good and our Long Island home security company can help you. Use what you learned here and also, contact us with any additional questions or concerns.
