Home Security Suggestions For Poway

By Mark Mahaffey


If an intruder breaks into your house, it is crucial to make it as hard as you can for him to actually locate your valuable items and take them. Crooks do not want to stay around very long when they are breaking and entering. Therefore, the harder you can make it to find your things, the more likely he will be to leave before he finds them.

So, you should hide your valuables. But, where you hide them is critical. You see, even though you may think you have a great place to hide them, the burglar probably knows about that spot too, and he may go right to it.

Some of these no-no places to hide things include under your mattress. The burglar knows to look there! He will also likely look inside your refrigerator and in the pantry and in the cat litter box! In order to outsmart the burglar, you will have to find better places than these.

Here are some tips. Think hard about where a burglar would be unlikely to look. Your tool shed is one example. Have a false floor put in and hide things underneath it! Crooks do not usually think of tool sheds as housing valuable items.

You can also use the inside of your mattress as a place to hide things from thieves. Cut a hole in the end that is up next to the headboard. Place your valuable items inside and then sew the hole back up.

Fake plugs are another great way to fool a burglar. These look like real plugs, but are actually empty inside. A burglar would have to use a screwdriver to remove the plate in order to find your valuables. Consider putting small valuables such as money and jewelry inside.
