Security Tips for Las Vegas Homes

Now that you have your very own Las Vegas homes, it’s time to start
thinking about the security of your home. Every year almost 1 out of 6 homes
are burglarized and those burglars only needed about a minute to break into a
home and steal some valuables.

A burglary often happens when no one is in
the home but it can leave a family feeling vulnerable and violated. There are
ways to prevent such crime from happening to your family. Make Las Vegas homes
less appealing to burglars
by following these tips.

♦ Keep all your doors and windows locked. Use
high quality deadbolt locks on your doors and use an additional blocking device
on sliding glass doors.  Most of the time
windows are paid less attention, so make sure that you check them throughout
your home routinely.

♦ Install drapes or blinds on the windows and
doors on the lower level of your home. Many burglaries occur in the middle of
the day, so keeping your possessions out of sight of intruders is important.

♦ Install floodlights or censor lights
outside of the house and keep the inside of the home always lit. Burglars are
less likely to enter well-lit Las Vegas homes.

♦ Keep a well maintained lawn. This can give
the idea that you pay close attention to your home, as opposed to an overgrown
lawn, which suggests neglect and vacancy.

♦ When travelling, make sure that someone is
looking after the house collecting mail and newspapers, a pile of paper on the
driveway is a sign that your family is away.

♦ Install an alarm system in Las Vegas homes. Make all household
members aware and trained properly in working the alarm.

No method is 100% fail proof, but following
these simple steps can significantly lessen your chance of falling victim to a
burglary.
