Mguard’s 12-Step Checklist to Stop Intruders

1. Use On/Off Clocks for Lights and Radios

   • Program clocks to turn lights and radios on and off at various times to give the impression that someone is home.

2. Simulate Activity

   • Place toys and dishes in view to suggest that the house is currently occupied.

3. Eliminate Temptation

   • Avoid displaying valuables where they can be seen through windows.

4. Hide Valuables in Unlikely Places

   • Store jewelry and other valuables in unexpected places like kitchens, bathrooms, and utility rooms, or use a safe.

5. Secure Your Shed and Garden Tools

   • Lock your shed and ensure no tools are left out that could be used to break into your house.

6. Install Motion Sensor Lights

   • Provide lighting around the house with motion sensors to deter intruders.

7. Trim Hedges and Shrubs

   • Keep hedges, shrubs, and fences low to eliminate hiding spots for thieves.

8. Strategically Use Curtains

   • Pull curtains in some rooms, such as the bedroom, while leaving others open to avoid giving the impression that the house is unoccupied.

9. Store Extrusion Keys Safely

   • Keep all spare keys far away from doors and windows, and avoid hiding them in obvious places.

10. Lock All Interior Doors

    • Lock interior doors to make it difficult for a thief to move around your home.

11. Enlist Attentive Neighbors

    • Arrange with your neighbors to keep an eye on your property. An attentive neighbor is one of the best deterrents against burglars.

12. Make Your Home Look Occupied

    • Leave a car in the driveway, and ask a neighbor to collect your mail and packages to make it look like someone is home.

By following these steps, you can significantly reduce the risk of break-ins and theft while you are away. Remember, a well-secured home not only protects your valuables but also provides you with peace of mind to enjoy your vacation to the fullest.
