5 советов, как защитить свои ценности от грабителей

Many renters and homeowners live under the misconception that a break-in at their own homes is highly unlikely. Leaving windows slightly open or simply pulling the door closed when leaving the house—these mistakes are often exploited by burglars. As a result, insurance companies face damages in the hundreds of millions every year. In 2020, the police clearance rate for burglary in Germany was only 17.6%! Learn here how you can best protect yourself against thieves.

Security Tip 1: Properly Secure Windows

Ensure that your windows are not left slightly open—especially when you leave the house! Because a slightly open window is as good as an open one. In just a few moves, one can gain access to your apartment.

Security Tip 2: TV Simulator

This simulator creates the illusion of a television being switched on through its light. Accordingly, potential burglars might assume that people are inside the apartment.

Security Tip 3: Video Surveillance

The method of video surveillance has the advantage that videos can be accessed in real-time. In addition, stored video material can help identify and convict the burglar(s).

Security Tip 4: Alarm Systems

A well-visible alarm system is probably the biggest deterrent for burglars. This includes sensors on windows, doors, and other glass surfaces outdoors, and motion detectors indoors.

Security Tip 5: Don't Keep Valuables at Home

It is most advisable not to keep valuables at home at all. Many people feel secure with their own safe, but during prolonged absence, such as vacations, burglars would have plenty of time to break into the safe in the apartment. Moreover, there is always the risk of being forced to hand over valuables through the threat of violence. Unfortunately, the misconception is widespread that a little easily accessible cash can deter the burglar from continuing their crime. This is not the case. The burglar gladly takes it as easy prey and assumes that there are more valuables in the house or apartment. This approach is unfortunately supported by the experiences of the criminal police.
