How to Prevent Robbery and Burglary at Home?
- Family members should be aware that when encountering strangers who request to open the door, such as delivering flowers, mail, etc., they should be extra careful and only open the door after confirming the identity.
- If the electricity meter is outdoors and suddenly loses power, one should first pay attention to whether there are any dangerous situations or suspicious people outside before going out to check.
- Leave your contact phone number, the phone number of the residence management office, the emergency call number, and the information of the scheduled visitors and cargo deliverymen for the elderly or servants at home.
- When encountering a criminal entering the house at home, do not fight hard and try to report to the police. Or shout loudly to scare away the criminals. Try to let your neighbors know about your situation and seek help from the outside.
- If you find that the door lock has been pried or opened when you go home, or there is a strange noise inside the house, and suspect that a thief is still inside the house, you should be vigilant and immediately report to the police after exiting the house.
- If you find that someone has stolen something when you go home, do not enter the house and walk around or count your belongings at will to avoid damaging the scene. Quickly report to the police for handling.
- Mark your valuable items (such as phones, cameras, etc.), as they are difficult for thieves to dispose of and have a low selling price, so thieves generally do not take them away.
- After dark, the curtains should be closed. If any suspicious person is found wandering outside the window, call the police number to report it.
- Doors and windows should be sturdy, and the situation outside can be seen clearly from inside.
- If a stranger calls your home, do not disclose whether you are alone at home. Besides, do not tell the other person in the phone recording that you have been out.
- Lock doors and windows, and close curtains before going to bed or going out.
- It is best to install a burglar alarm system, whose cost is roughly equivalent to the cost of installing an anti-theft net.
- When opening the window to sleep in hot weather, be sure to lock your wallet and other valuable items to prevent them from being stolen by thieves.
- Families buying a new house should try to choose a community with comprehensive prevention functions, as safety is the most important thing for you.
- Close the public security doors when entering or leaving the community.
- Do not store large amounts of cash and jewelry at home.
- If the door lock is damaged or the key is lost, it should be replaced in a timely manner.
- You should help your neighbors and report any suspicious individuals or objects to the police immediately.
