Locks, Alarms and Insurance

Do not ask one to do the job of the next.

Locks keep people OUT you do not want to let IN. Of course, this is about the door and window details too. This is the physical security of a home or business. You want to be hard to defeat but remember nobody knows what tools or skills are with the possible burglar.

Alarms work to limit the time on site and also ahead of the locks to give the clear suggestion you will not get what you want. (Why is the alarm system often announced with signs and the lock system not?)

Insurance covers real costs if the first two above do not work. However, the claim is only valid if you made a reasonable effort. This means lock your doors and turn on the alarm system. Oh yes, it is real costs. I have a nice glass bowl which I inherited from my granny. I just recently saw it for $3 in a second hand shop. To me the bowl is worth more but to insurance it has a real value of $3.
