2. Never give out information over the phone. Never give credit card information over the telephone without verification of your party. You can establish this by asking for a return phone number. 3. Look first. Install peep hole views on all solid doors.4. Reschedule. Question night time solicitors and ask them to reschedule for morning hours. 5. Take Pictures. Photograph all your valuables for identification and record purposes. 6. Avoid keeping large amounts of cash and jewelry in your house. Thieves are looking for cash and easy-to-carry things they can turn into cash quickly: jewelry, silver, cameras and other electronic devices. Keep small "luxury" items locked in a safe or well hidden. Large items don't scare crooks off either -- TVs, VCRs, computers, and stereos get their attention too. Invest in a simple table/desk bolt for stereos, computers and VCRs. If it's too difficult to steal most thieves, looking to get in and out quickly, won't bother 1. No vacancy. Never let it appear that your home, apartment etc. is vacant.2. Never let your newspapers and mail accumulate. This is an indication of a vacant home. Instead have it canceled for the time being or picked up by your neighbor until you return.3. Buy a timed light. For less than $8.00 you can buy a light timer with a simple operation controller providing interior home lighting giving the perception of occupancy while your away. Also, there are computerized devices that give a more realistic perception, for example: you can purchase a computer alarm clock that monitors your daily activities (the frequency of which you turn your lights on) for 48 hrs. and when you leave on vacation, simply set the clock on auto mode and your lights will turn off and on throughout the day randomly as observed by the computer clock, thus, giving the perception of occupancy.4. Keep All of your neighbors and alarm companies informed of your vacant property. This information is imperative so your responsible party will report any suspicious behavior around your home or in an event of an emergency.5. Don't be predictable. Once inside, thieves do just what you do when you come home: They head for the bedroom. That's where most of us keep our valuables. A jewelry box on top of the dresser is practically a homing signal. But, they also know your "clever" hiding places: dresser drawers, the freezer, under the mattress and the cookie jar!These simple precautions greatly decrease your chances of returning home to a nightmare that never ends. As your stepping out of your car, arriving home from work you are met by an armed man who instructs you to go inside and disarm the alarm to rob you - or worse. To deter home invasion alarm systems have features to help protect you.
Everyone who drives a car should follow the basic rules of vehicle safety
that is outlined by federal & state regulations. No where in the manual does
it speak of personal safety from car jacking. 1. Lock your doors.
Keep vehicle doors locked at all times while the vehicle
is in use. 2. Do not park in remote areas.
Parking in the back of parking lot makes you a target - a dent on your door is not
a personal safety factor. 3. Watch where you
park. Do not park next to shrubs or walls where someone can
conceal themselves. 4. Trust your
instincts. Do not hesitate to drive away if you have a bad
feeling. Take it seriously. 5. Install a vehicle alarm. Most common car alarms
have remote activators giving siren and audible tones to draw attention to you. 6. Darkness is your enemy. The last thing an assailant
wants is identification he relies on the cover of darkness to conceal his identify.
7. Keep in the light.
Stay in well lighted areas.
