What Surprises Will You Find When You Get Back From Spring Break?
Orlando, FL (ContentDesk) February 26, 2004--www.CollegeSafe.com, your online source for the latest safety news, information and products, put together the following safety checklist.Many campuses step up patrols by campus security during Spring Break. Register your crib with the campus security patrol program during the break, if your college has a patrol program. But you really can't count on security patrols watching your stuff 24/7.
Take a few precautions and chances are that your stuff will still be there when you get back.
1.Lock up or remove all valuables (jewelry, computers, stereos, televisions, etc.).
They should all be engraved with your Social Security or other identifying number. Some colleges have engravers that can be borrowed.2.Make sure that all windows are closed and locked.
Close all shades, drapes and blinds. Lock and bolt entrance doors to rooms or apartments. Get window and door alarms to sound an alarm if anyone tries to break in.3.Put your lights and maybe a radio or television on timers, so that they come on periodically to make it look like someone is there.4.Don't leave a message on your answering machine that says that you are gone.
This is like saying to anyone who calls, "Hey I'm not home right now; feel free to come over and take all my stuff?"5.If you live alone, have a message that gives the impression of several roommates.
For example, "We're not available to take your call right now". Don't use your name. 6.Make sure the lights outside work and turn all lights on.
Ideally, exterior lights should be on motion sensor, a timer or photoelectric cell.
Don't give these guys darkness and shadows to hide. 7.Check into a wireless burglar alarm system for the dorm or apartment. Since it is wireless it is easy to set up; it is not permanent; you can take it with you if you move and it scares away burglars.8.One of the most obvious signs people are out of town is the build up of mail and newspapers outside. Have the post office stop mail delivery, or get someone to pick it up regularly. 9.Keep in mind that crime increases before vacation times, because other people are looking for the cash to go on these trips, too.
Protect anything of value that can be pawned or sold.These tips are excerpts from the new College Safety Guide from www.CollegeSafe.com. Www.CollegeSafe.com is a division of www.MainStreetSafety.com , where your safety is their main concern..
