When it comes to home security, still too many of us are very lax and therefore make ourselves easy targets for house burglars. Getting broken in to can not only cause financial issues but can also cause emotional stress and worry? Many people even move home after being broken in to, not feeling safe in their current house any more.
Tightening up on your home security can be enough to deter those unwanted guests, and it does not have to cost the earth. Many security tips do not actually cost anything to do, just require a bit of forward planning.
Locking all doors and windows are essential, even ones on second or third floors. Leaving a light on if you go out or even the television, can make a burglar think that someone is in and leave.
If you can afford to go a little further with your security, then I would suggest investing in a good CCTV system and house alarm. This can not only record footage and sound a warning but could be enough to deter the burglar in the first place.
