Burglary means the crime of illegally entering a building and stealing things. In my opoin, burglary can happend in our life. so we must care about that in our life, and completes the protective measures.
Taking just a few steps can make a big difference in keeping your home safe from burglary. There are some tips:
lock your doors and windows every time you leave the house, even when you’re just out in the garden
hide all keys, including car keys, out of sight
install a visual burglar alarm
install good outside lighting
leave radios or lights in your house on a timer
make sure the fences around your garden are in good condition
store valuable items (including passports, driving licences and bank statements) out of view
hide cash and wallets away
secure bikes at home by locking them to an immoveable object inside a locked shed or garage
keep ladders and tools stored away; don't leave them outside where they could be used to break into your home
In most burglaries, the criminals broke into the house or flat through the door, either by forcing the lock or kicking it in. So make sure your doors are strong and secure.
If you live in a building that has a shared entrance, be careful about ‘buzzing’ people in or holding the door open for a stranger when you walk in or out of your building.
Never leave a spare key in a convenient hiding place, such as under a flowerpot or doormat, or behind a loose brick. Burglars know to look there. They will also check the garage or shed for spare keys to get into your flat or house.
These suggestions will give you a help when you meet the burglary.
