Purchasing the very best locks and a high-end security system are fantastic ways to protect your home, property, and family. They are not, however, 100 percent guaranteed. This means that you must also put into place other plans just in case a home invader is able to go against all odds and get into your home. Your reliable AJ’s emergency locksmiths Turrella recommend these tips for protecting yourself devastating losses due to a home burglary:
- Make sure that you have home insurance. This policy should cover any damage that is caused to the home by a home invader, as well as any property that is damaged or stolen.
- Carefully inventory all valuable items within your home. Make a detailed list of the jewelry, electronics, art, collectibles, musical instruments, and anything else that carries high value. Make sure that this list contains-
o A clear and detailed title for the item
o The serial number or other identifying number or characteristic for the item
o The location in the home of the item
o Details of the item such as the brand, model, model number, color, size
o The approximate value of the item
o When and where the item was obtained, if known
o Whether a photograph has been taken of the item, and where he can be located.
- Purchase a pen with ultraviolet ink and use it to mark your name, your ZIP Code, or the first few letters of your address on items were this is appropriate. These marks will not be visible to the naked eye, but will be when a black light is shining on it. Make note of the marking that is on each item on your inventory. This way law enforcement knows to look for such markings if they uncover suspicious merchandise.
- Make a note of the name any Turrella 24 hour locksmiths that attend your home as well as his contact information because law enforcement may want further information about the system of locks on your home.
