Is it the season for burglary?

Hi there toniganzon! Many similar stories are all over the news. It's sad that people do not feel safe even in their own houses. People are supposed to be having fun at this time of the year because it is summer. But sometimes, the very drawback is when people think about Who will be left at home? It's not easy leaving the house in the care of other people.

It seems that everywhere there are thieves waiting the opportunity to commit a robbery. Actually there is not a season for this. Theft are happening all the time. You must be carefully although you are living close to the guard house.

I am sure nothing wrong will happen. Your house is close to the guard house, right? I was told that if the house has cats, no buglars want to enter the house to steal or rob.

Actually Toni, anytime that the house is unmanned is a burglary time for those types of persons. But, the past Lenten Season or Holy Week was the best time for those burglars, because they know that most people are in vacations, leaving their houses unmanned for how many days. My former cellphone was stolen from our grilled & screened windows during Black Friday, two years ago. We were at the dining room eating dinner, and when we went back to the bedroom, my cellphone placed on top of the lampshade table beside the window was gone already. No wonder, the dogs kept barking that time, but when my husband checked the vicinity there was no one.

do you have any kind of security system in place in your home? i wouldn't worry too much about being home or not. my mum and dad live in a very large house. it has a drive way and is surrounded by gardens, walls and high fences. yet someone still climbed the fence, opened the back door to the house, and stole my mums handbag from the kitchen! with us all in the living room! .. so home or not, if they are going to break in, they will!

I am a little worried in my neighborhood too about robberies. I don't live in the safest neighborhood and I surely cannot afford an alarm system. I was thinking earlier that I might get one of those fake alarms and a fake sign that says I have an alarm from one of the companies here. It might be just enough to scare them away and it does not cost me a fortune! It goes off loud like other alarms and they would not know that the company is not monitoring it because it sounds real. Thats the only thing I can think of...

Happy burglary season to all! No, of course not, that is not Santa inside your house now. So, toniganzon your in a village with a security guards. Damn! What the hell is a security guard that you pay monthly for anyway!?! Guarding the Guard House? If you are paying monthly dues (as for being the homeowners) for these dudes I mean these guards of yours for securing your subdivisions, but not doing their duties, obligations and responsibility as security guards, you have the rights to change them every time there's a security breach. Even scolded them. You can also demand to the security agency an exchange of the properties that was been lost because of a breach of contracts, unless you have a memorandum of agreement or other binding contracts. Some of these guards can also be suspects or an accessories or has a connections to the burglars. Or most of all a member of large syndicate operations. So, if you are going to change your guards be sure you are 100% trustful and honest. Well, lucky you have private security guards to blame. How about to others like us who doesn't have. All we are depending are those Baranggay Tanods or directly to local Police. But we can't see them always especially those Tanods. They are always at their office. Only when every time there's an elections we can see them.

im sure your house will be safe but if you still worry so much you can hire a security guard when youre not at home...

As the life goes here and I think even in other countries... People tend to do some things that they do not want. Let us just pray not be a victim of this people. However, I would recommend you to at least let the guard know that there are no people in your house to make sure that they are aware. Because sometimes burglar tend to disguise themselves just like the common people in the neighborhood. Take care and God Bless.
