Protecting property is often taken as more important than looking out for loved ones and the stuff that cannot be replaced!!!

So many families I see spend thousands on phones and computers, car’s, TV’s, stereos and sporting hobbies, but very little on security that protects what they have purchased. A full replacement policy DOES NOT usually replace clothes or sporting goods at purchase price.

Be prepared to commit just 1% of your asset value to get reasonable security.

So here goes:

1.   Get an alarm Installed, have it serviced every 24 months. If you already have one but it is older than 15 years; REPLACE IT.

2.   USE THE ALARM EVERY TIME YOU ARE NOT THERE!! AND IF POSSIBLE USE IT AT NIGHT WHILE YOU ARE THERE!! 

3.   Create a list of assets. Use the NZ Police SNAP System

4.   Put deadbolts on ALL windows and doors!!!

5.   Use the locks as they were designed. Do not leave a key in the lock!!

6.   Use your neighbours!! Create a neighbourhood watch! 

7.   Do not leave tools, ladders or wheelie bins out for the crims to use.

8.   If the property has a gate – CLOSE and LOCK it!

9.   Have automatic lights installed and maintained!!

 

10. Have the alarm monitored if possible. NO PHONE LINE REQUIRED!! We use cellphone technology. So as long as you can make a txt from the house we can monitor your alarm.

So outside the top  10  tips would be:

Protecting property is often taken as more important than looking out for loved ones and the stuff that cannot be replaced!!!

Have smoke alarms installed and maintained.

Take care of cameras and photos – no insurance can replace photos.

Make sure your house is safe at night while you are asleep.

Install a safe for irreplaceable items – A safe is not a tin box!! Chubb Mini-banker weigh from 140KGS!! It is 2 layers of hard steel with concrete between!! No crim is going to carry it off!

If you are at home but in the back yard, LOCK the front door!!
