One thing that can get your heart rate up though is the thought of burglars prowling around your now abandoned home while you’re soaking up the sun on a sunbed in Mallorca.
That is why North Jutland’s Police are now making a call to citizens who are traveling away from their homes in the coming months – namely to protect themselves once morest burglary.
“It is, to put it in good North Jutland, just really boring to come back from a good holiday and then find that your home has been the subject of a burglary,” says deputy police inspector at Nordjylland’s Police, Niels Kronborg, in a post on Facebook.
According to the Deputy Inspector General of Police, burglaries tend to come in waves because they may involve itinerant criminals.
How to reduce the risk of burglary
How to protect once morest burglary may be repetitions of advice you have previously heard or received. Nevertheless, they are still the ones that apply.
The almost obvious advice is to lock doors and windows and remove valuable items from places where they can be seen from the outside.
A mutual agreement with the neighbors to keep an eye on each other’s homes while you are away from home is also one of the police’s tips, as is calling 114 if you experience something suspicious in your local area.
But have you perhaps thought regarding cutting the hedge? Wishing strangers a good day? Or cleaning up the garden? Not all tips and tricks are equally obvious in the fight once morest uninvited guests.
In the fact box below, you can read all the police’s tips and tricks on how to reduce the risk of burglary in your home.
Police advice once morest burglary
- Say hello to others in the neighborhood and wish them a good day – even those you don’t know. The best protection once morest burglary is people. The thief will neither be seen nor recognised, and a simple “hello” may be enough.
- Install lights with a motion sensor outside your house so that the lights turn on when a thief approaches.
- Make the house look inhabited when you are not at home. Turn on lights in a few rooms and use an on-off clock to turn the lights and radio on and off. You should not leave the light on constantly – it reveals that you are not at home.
- Consider cutting the hedge so that the thief cannot work from cover in your garden.
- Lock doors and windows securely.
- Make sure that valuables cannot be seen from the outside.
- Keep an eye on the neighbour’s house and park your car in their driveway if they are not at home. You can also throw trash in their trash can and empty their mailbox if they are out of town.
- Lock the shed and tidy up the garden so that tools are not lying around. Some burglars do not bring tools, but find them at the crime scene.
- Sign up for Neighborhood Help.
- Call 114 if you see people or cars with suspicious behavior in your neighbourhood.
