It's that time of year again Gold Coast. As the weather gets warmer and the days get longer many people are starting to plan for their summer holidays. One thing that many people over look when planning the holidays is the security of their homes while they're going to be away.
Unfortunately it is a well known fact that criminals take advantage of people going away and use that opportunity to break into their homes. Although most insurance policies do cover theft, having to pay the excess and returning from holidays to find that your home has been broken into is quite distressing. Having a security guard coming in checking on your home not only offers you peace of mind by knowing that somebody is checking on your house, it also acts as a deterrent for criminals meaning that your home is far less likely to be broken into. Once criminals know that you do take steps to protect your home they are far less likely to break into your house in the future so hiring security is an investment not just for now but for later on as well.
As well as looking at security for your home while you are away that are some other important things that you should consider. Ensure that you do not go tell him too many people that you were going away unfortunately this is how most criminals find out which houses will be vacant and this is how they figure out who to Target. Try to keep your plans off things like social media unless you're going to have somebody present at your home while you are away.
Local Gold Coast security companies will have the knowledge and expertise of the local area to be able to give you advice to make sure that your home is adequately protected while you are away. To find reliable security providers on the Gold Coast ensure that you always do your homework and only ever employ licensed security providers. You can check the validity of a security providers licence using the Australian government search website. This is a very good idea as it is reported that sometimes security guards will use other guards licences to work under false pretenses. Employing guards that are not properly qualified can put you and your family at risk.
