Home invasion is one of the most dangerous, and yet one of the most preventable crimes imaginable. Follow these simple steps to protect yourself, your loved ones, and your valuables from home invaders.

Lock Up Your Jewelry

Locking up your jewelry in a jewelry safe makes your precious items less of a target for burglars and thieves. Jewelry safes come in a variety of sizes, locking mechanisms, and price ranges.

Lock Up Your Valuables

Different home invaders are looking to steal different things. Some go after electronics while others go after important personal documents that can be used to steal your identity. Keep all of your valuables from being a target by purchasing a burglary safe. This way, you can lock up things you aren’t using that you wouldn’t want falling into the wrong hands.

Hire a House Sitter

Most home invaders target empty houses. If you’re going on a long vacation hire a friend, neighbor, or relative to house sit for you while you’re away. If this isn’t possible you can make the house seem occupied by leaving a bedroom light on.

Protecting your home does not have to be costly. You can find many cost effective used safes for sale online, and some family members will house sit for free. Protecting yourself is worth a little upfront cost to prevent the loss, and feelings of violation that can occur after a burglary.
