How to Understand That Thieves Have Installed Surveillance on Your Apartment?

The Internet explodes with information about how the capital’s housekeepers began to mark apartments in which they intend to commit theft from time to time. Allegedly, the criminals stuck colored stickers on the mailboxes of their favorite apartments.
We recommend you read this article to find out if thieves have set their sights on your apartment and what to do to prevent it.

How Do Thieves Choose Apartments?

Firstly, thieves will want to know if there is something to gain in your apartment. And it can be done in different ways. The “gunner” is responsible for this.

There is nothing simpler than conducting a visual analysis of the well-being of residents based on the presence of air conditioning, a satellite dish, windows, and what is visible inside. In the evening, even the windows with curtains in many apartments are clearly visible. Beautiful tulle, a piece of the well-renovated room, a TV on the wall in the kitchen – all this indicates that the owners are arranging their lives, which means that they are making good money and have valuable things in the apartment.

A solid entrance door will tell about the wealth of the apartment owners. “They put a good door, it looks like there is something to hide behind it,” the thieves think. A bright sticker indicating that a security alarm for the apartment works here (even if it is not connected, but only in the picture) will lead to a similar opinion. Another question is how desperate the thieves are, and whether they will tempt fate by trying to get into the place where the apartment’s security systems are.

Of course, such a risk doesn’t mean you don’t have to buy or have all of these things at home. That only means that you always have to put security in first place. The question is how to do it. The most reliable way to keep your home and yourself protected is connecting with an Onholding security service, where you can also hire a personal security guard if you need extra protection.

Don’t Talk Too Much

It is surprising, but you yourself are capable of directing thieves to your apartment. Praising your recently purchased equipment (fur coat, jewelry, etc.) to your acquaintances, you give an excuse for unnecessary conversations about your person. Are you sure that there are no envious people or gossipers in your environment?

Then you can safely tell your friends that in a week you are going to a warm country, and you will not be at home for half a month. We give nine out of ten that this information will be very interesting to some individuals and will not pass their ears.

A separate topic is your behavior on social networks. Colorful albums with photos of where you are, what you buy, and how you live well, in general, speak more eloquently than any words. Experienced thieves have long understood this and live in social networks under the guise of your friends (whom you don’t even know) and fans who fanatically like your photos. Believe us, this is not paranoia, but the truth of life, in which, unfortunately, prosperity reveals our vices, and boasting and immodesty are one of them.
