As we have already said, any apartment left permanently unattended is a pretty "tidbit" for apartment thieves. Therefore, first of all, before leaving your home for a long time, you need to think about the mandatory precautions that will turn your house into a real "fortress". So, what can you do if you leave the apartment unattended for a long time?

1. If you are sure that you are going for a long time, consider safety and set the alarm. This is one of the most effective means against robbers. By the way, we do not advise you to save on this wonderful device. Acquire the most expensive and high-quality signaling of well-known manufacturers, who have long proven themselves from the positive side of the market for the sale of this product.
In this case, the best choice for you can be the purchase of an autonomous alarm. The basic principle of this device is that, if suddenly you decide to come across "unexpected guests" and by hacking, or somehow try to enter the apartment, immediately, a special audio siren will immediately turn on, which will attract the attention of neighbors and scare away robbers.
2. Leave your possessions - think about good doors. Armored door, here is the best and proven barrier for a robber. This door is very difficult to open with a master key and it is completely impossible to hack or knock out. Install such a second and main door by inserting a good lock into it. By the way, the same lock, we recommend to put and on the native door. Well-locked two doors on an excellent lock is something that will stop any, even very professional thief.
3. More troubles and "headache" to their owners deliver apartments that are on the first floor. This location of the dwelling, well, just a magnet, in the literal sense of the word, attract robbers. Here the only and reliable way out of this situation will be the installation of strong gratings on all windows.
4. If, despite all the precautions, you still leave your apartment with a restless heart, then follow the method of "hiding". Before you leave all your valuables (gold, money and so on) in a secluded place. Such places in a city apartment can be: a wardrobe with bed linen, various kitchen utensils, or, most effectively, a safe. By the way, say a few words about the safe. It is also recommended to buy in specialized stores, where high-quality goods from well-known brands are presented, which have been manufacturing safes for several years already. But to place such a safe is best, firmly attaching it to some surface or built into the wall. Otherwise, putting it just in the closet, you can lose both the safe and everything that is in it.
5. And now let's say a few words about household appliances. Things like plasma, a computer, a microwave oven, DVDs and much more for your peace of mind and reinsurance are best left to your relatives for the time you are away.
6. You can also make the robbers completely mislead by creating an "effect of presence" of the owner of the house. To do this, you need to leave the apartment unattended, give the keys for a while, until you are, a trusted person. Ask this person to visit your possessions as often as possible, let him water the flowers, turn on the lights in the evenings, change the location of the curtains on the window. It is not superfluous to note the fact that it is a completely curtained window for a long time is a good bait for a robber.
7. Tell your trusted persons, let them, when they open the front door of the apartment, pay attention to whether there are any matches or scraps of paper visible there. Most often in this way, robbers make marks on apartments, followed by surveillance and the subsequent purpose of their robbery. Therefore, if something of the above is found, take it as an alarm.
8. When leaving the home, check all the windows, and most importantly, the windows for serviceability and the quality of the bolts to which they are closed. A significant percentage of thieves enter the apartment through windows.
9. And lastly, if you are sure of your departure, try to advertise as little as possible about it to the left and to the right. In addition, never distribute information about your income, savings and expensive jewelry purchases. All this can become a good "tip-off" to your apartment. By the way, some details from your personal life can be withheld even from close friends. Remember that word for word, any information can fly around the world.
