For most of us, one of the worst feelings in the world is the sinking sensation when you return home and find that you’ve been robbed. Security is a complex subject that can vary a great deal, depending upon a variety of factors, such as location, budget and the level of security required. However, there are some common areas where we can all make a difference. Here are three home security tips from your local professional locksmiths.

1. Always Keep Your Trip Private:

Many crimes are actually carried out by people that know the victim. This also applies to burglaries, and it’s a good idea to only mention your trip to people that you can really trust. Casual acquaintances and co-workers should be kept in the dark as much as possible. This may seem to be overly paranoid, but the fewer people that you have "in the loop," the more secure your arrangements will be. If a neighbour you don’t know well notices you packing your car and asks about it, always be very vague about your arrangements. If you still use an answering machine, don’t re-record a new message announcing that you’re away and when you will be back.

2. Secure Your Valuables

All of your valuables should be locked away in a safe before you leave. This is also true for items that you may not consider to be valuable, such as identification paperwork, computer drives, notepads containing passwords and waste paper that isn’t shredded. All accounts should be logged out of, and these items should be locked away. If you don’t have a safe, consider using a deposit box or entrust your items to a trusted person. These precautions will help to protect you against identity theft, which can be even worse than a robbery or burglary.

3. Set the Alarm and Lock Up Tight:

Even in this day and age, there are still people around that don’t have an alarm system. Many people believe that alarms are largely ignored, but this isn’t true, they can give a thief a good scare and attract attention.
