PROPERTY SECURITY TIPS

 

  • Remove valuable items from your homes to ensure that they are not stolen
     

  • Install motion sensor lighting, especially during the winter, aimed downward at your shoreline area
     

  • Install automatic alarm systems with a phone dialer (to call you directly) triggered by sensors on windows, doors, etc.
     

  • Secure boats, vehicles, aquatic equipment out of site if possible.
     

  • Prevent visibility into the cottage from the outside; close drapes, and cover door windows.
     

  • Boarding up windows or doors from the outside makes it obvious to thieves that no one intends to be in the structure for a long time.
     

  • Install random-timed lighting inside the home at night with some random sound from a radio. This may confuse thieves.
     

  • Buy a small lighting device that simulates the flickering light of an active TV combined with the sound of a radio.
