Summertime is Primetime For Burgulars
As we begin to get into the heart of the summer I hear more and more of clients who have had their home broken into, a child’s bike stolen, and even their belongings taken right out of their vehicle when it was parked in their garage!  Much of this is attributed to the fact that as we all tend to try to relax in the summer, sometimes our vigilance takes a bit of vacation as well. We just are not as mindful as we normally tend to me. That’s okay!  It is the summer! We should take it a bit more easier!.  I just want to stoke the flames a bit with some simple and easy to follow tips and tricks to make your summer a bit more enjoyable.
 
 
Tips & Tricks
TIP#1
    When you are away from home, close and lock your doors and windows. If you want to leave windows open enough for ventilation,but not wide enough for someone to gain entry, use a dowel for sliding glass windows cut to allow the window to open no more than 4”.  For double hung windows, consider sashpins. Some windows have stops installed onthe inside track, which will also prevent thewindow from being opened too far.  For added security we have some reasonable priced Mace Window Alarms that can be put on your windows. These are removable so they do not have to be installed year found if you so choose.   http://www.firstratesecurity.com/macwinal.html

TIP #2
    Working In The Yard

    When working in the yard in the back of the home, do not leave the front door open and/or unlocked. Just recently a neighbor left her front door open while she worked in her backyard. She saw a man walk by the front of the house a couple of times. The man saw her,he also saw the open door. He helped himself to what he could while theneighbor was still in the yard. If you have a garage or storage unitt hat is out of your line of sight while you are working in the yard, be mindful of what are you showing in plain view to anyonewho may be walking or driving by. 
    For those of you have a detached garage like myself, they are the easiest targets for a burgular. A good way to protect your garage is to install a Strobe Motion Alarm inside the garage itself. If a burgular gains access the strobe light and alarm goes off.  I have this installed in my detached garage. Out of the all the items I have in the Home Security section of our store I feel this is the best value and most effective deterrent for an area just outside of your home.  http://www.firstratesecurity.com/strobsecmota.html
 
 
Tips & Tricks

Tip#3  Do Not Leave Pets Or Children Unattended In Vehicles

There are far too many reports of pets or children dying because they were left unattended in a hot vehicle with the windows rolled up. Don’t leave children unattended in cars, even for a short time. If you leave a pet in a car, roll the windows down enough for ventilation and provide a dish of water. Better to leave the pet at home rather than in a sweltering car.

Two quick recommendations for children and pets.  If you are planning on taking a vacation or a short road trip or just being outside in the summer months the Child Guard Electronic Monitor is an invaluable tool. Know when your child roams beyond a preset distance that you decide. Very casual and unintrusive.  Great for children 7 and under.  http://www.firstratesecurity.com/chgusachmow.html

Man’s best friend sometimes has stressful and irritating days in the summer.  Our Super Dog Chaser is a safe, humane, and effective way to deter unwanted advances or incessant barking. This is an alternative to a Mace Canine Spray. It can even be used in some dogs as a training aid. Maybe Fido can learn a few new tricks over the summer.  http://www.firstratesecurity.com/sudogchuldog.html

I wanted to take this time to thank all of our customers for their continued support and to wish everyone an enjoyable, healthy and safe summer.
