How to prevent vandalism on your property
According to statistics, there are over a million royal crimes that take place every year in Canada. The good news is that there are
things landlords can do to reduce the risk of becoming a victim of crime.One of the best ways to prevent vandalism and other crimes is to simply keep your property in good condition. This is because the statistics show that properties that are in good condition are less likely to be vandalized.
Here are some other tips to help keep your property safe from vandalism and other forms of crime:
External lighting is very important. Pay attention to areas such as the entrance, windows, and other entrances.
It is also important to install high-quality doors. Experts suggest installing doors that are open to the outside. This makes it more difficult for thieves to open them or push the door in. For the highest level of safety, consider installing doors without glass or windows. If you want a door with glass windows, be sure to connect the glass with wires or have a protective film on the glass.
Make sure to regularly prune trees, shrubs, and other plants. This will make it difficult for thieves to hide or conceal their entry. It will also make it easier for neighbors or others to spot strangers at the property.
According to the criminals, the robbers decided to target property for several reasons. Here are just some of them:
The house is not occupied or the homeowners are often far away. Signs of this accumulate mail, newspapers, and lights that are either on all the time or off the entire time.
Thieves are also looking for homes that they can enter without being seen. Tall hedges or other shrubs can increase your chances of becoming a victim of crime.
Use a rod to keep sliding glass doors securely closed and lock the doors when you are not home.
Thieves think twice before breaking into the house with signs of a warning company. For this reason, obtaining an alarm system service or purchasing signage can be very beneficial.
Dogs can also discourage thieves from trying to break into your home. According to statistics, this is true whether it is a large breed dog, or just a small breed dog. The truth is, if you have a dog, you may find that your home is much safer. Some people put up "Beware of dogs" signs even if they don't have a dog. This may help as well.
Be careful about what you throw. If you buy a new one, be careful when throwing out the box. If thieves can see your new big screen TV box in your trash, they might consider breaking into your home.
Install security cameras outside your home in visible locations. Even if your security cameras don't work, they still work to prevent criminals from destroying your property or breaking into your home.
As you can see, it doesn't take a lot of work to make your home safe, it just takes some planning and preparation.
