Ways to Survive the Hurricane of Property-Crime

Table of Contents

Elevate the Risk of Stealing From You

  • Most thieves will think twice if there’s a chance someone will see them committing their dastardly deeds.
  • Keep your property well-lit.
  • Install cameras that cover every inch (check out FORTIFEYE).
  • Pepper your perimeter with signs that tell thieves you’re ready for them.

Reduce the Rewards of Stealing From You

The name of the game is, ‘Thief, I’m not worth your time.

  • Install steering wheel and trailer hitch locks.
  • Remove vehicle batteries and/or wheels.
  • Keep high-value items locked in cages.

Embrace Solar Power to Deter Them From Stealing From You

  • Hurricanes knock out power sources quickly — except for one.
  • Install solar-powered electrified fences.
  • Make sure your lighting is solar-powered.
  • Security cameras can also be powered by the sun.

The Moral of the Blog

And so, as we monitor each forming tropical depression (and hope it doesn’t become big enough to merit its own name), let’s reflect on the important parts:

  • Theft during hurricanes is a crime of opportunity.
  • You can minimize that opportunity with just a bit of planning.
  • And 98% of our clients have yet to experience a break-in after installing our electrified perimeter security fences. Even during hurricanes.

So, prepare yourself and your property, and you’ll weather every storm just fine.

And if you learned something new today, how about sharing this blog with someone you know?
