Why and how to protect your home, even for short absences?

The same logic applies for occasional absences. We know, for example, that Christmas and New Year's Eve parties are good occasions for burglaries: many people are absent from their homes, whether for a holiday or just for a party with friends. Which invariably arouses the greed of thieves. To avoid paying the price of their appetites, it is possible, for example, to leave the light of the living room on or to program the diffusion of music, so that the house seems occupied. Today, there are many programmable devices that can turn lights and electronic equipment on and off according to instructions from the owner.

The other great advice to never lose sight of is getting into the habit of systematically shutting down your house, both during absences and during the day when you are at home. Statistics show that most burglaries take place in broad daylight, often when people are at work or picking up children at school. It is therefore important to be careful not to leave the door or windows open when you are away, even for a short time. The same vigilance will be applied to the nocturnal period: it is useless to leave the front door open when the whole household is asleep.
