Keep Your Car and Home Safe
No matter where you plan on parking your car, you should never leave valuable things inside. It doesn’t matter if you are holiday shopping, at a friends or relatives house, or at your own home, break-ins, whether it would be in a car or home, can lead to valuable items being taken and for identity theft.
In the last few days, there have been many posts on social media about car break-ins in and around Rochester. One of the individuals that had their car broken into had their groceries (soda and Gatorade) stolen, and then another individual had their expensive hunting gear taken. All of this was done while the cars were parked in their driveways.
Now let’s talk about security at your own home for your car. What is the best type of security to have if your neighborhood or any surrounding neighborhoods have a high number of car break-ins?
If you must leave valuable items in your car overnight or for a long period of time, there are some security tips and equipment that you can buy to protect your car.
1. Car Alarm System
The smartest first step when buying a car is to choose one with an alarm. If your preferred car lacks one, have a professional install it. A car alarm sounds when someone opens the driver’s side door without keys in the ignition.
2. Motion Sensors
Motion sensors are an important aspect of home security because they can detect when there is movement in a certain area. These lights will turn on when someone or something is moving near the sensor.
3. Video Surveillance
Your security company can install a video surveillance system. This system lets you use your phone or computer to see any activity at your home. For example, if many people visit and someone breaks into your car, you can check the footage. It will show you what happened.
Using video surveillance is smart, but you can do more to protect your car in the driveway. Don’t leave things in plain sight that tempt people to break in. Make your car a harder target.
