How to Prevent Theft

• Use Common Sense
  • If you lose a key, get the locks changed.
  • Ask all strangers for identification.
  • Never hide an extra key outdoor - especially underneath a mat or on top of a light fixture. This is the first place the bad guys look. Leave an extra house key with a friend or a neighbor.
  • DO NOT advertise on Facebook or other social media that you are on vacation. If you want to post photos, then do it when you get home.
  • For insurance purposes take photos of the contents of your home.
  • Keep all receipts in a safe and easy to find location.
  • Write down the model and serial number of all electronics.
• Make it Difficult
  • Door chains are easy to bypass. Install deadbolts.
  • Install a stopper or stick on all sliding doors and windows.
  • Install window bars on all basement windows.
  • Make sure all doors and windows are properly locked.
  • Keep your premises well lit at night.
  • Install timers that turn lights on at different times. This gives the appearance that someone is home.
• Install a monitored Home Security system
  • 400% less likely to have a break-in.
  • up to 25% insurance discount.
  • optional ALARM.COM with automatic lights.
• In case you do have a break-in:
  • If it looks like a door or window was forced open, DO NOT go inside. The Burglar may still be on site.
  • Call the Police from your cellular phone or from a neighbor's house and wait.

Holiday Security Tips

Social Media is a great way to keep in touch with friends and family, but don't forget it's very public. Thieves also like reading about your vacation plans and can often track down your address.

AVOID POSTING: "packing for the trip", "just got to lake", or "just landed", etc. or photos of your new big screen TV and PS4

Break'in's rarely occur when you are at home - so in addition to arming your Reed Security alarm system you will want to make it look like you are still there.

• Cancel the newspaper
• Have someone shovel your driveway
• Have someone pick up your mail
• Park an unused vehicle in the driveway
• Install exterior motion lights (and make sure you test them)
• Install timers for interior lights
• Consider  ALARM.COM  Interactive Services. Control your lights, locks, blinds, temperature, and video cameras remotely
