Protecting Your Valuables

Most of us have something in our Tulsa, OK area home that we consider valuable. For some that may be jewelry or furs for others firearms or antiques. Here are some ways that we can keep those items protected and decrease the chances that they are stolen.

• Put small items in a safety deposit box or fireproof safe. If using a safe, consider securing it to the floor.
• Make sure all your doors and windows are properly secure.
• Keep the exterior of your home well lit with motion sensor lighting.
• Pretend you are a burglar and try to find areas around your home that you could get in. When you have a list, make sure those areas are completely secure.
• Don’t hide items in obvious locations.
• Install a security system that is monitored at all times.
• Don’t open the door to strangers and check ID for delivery, emergency, repair persons.
• Always plan for the worst. Although we hope that we will never experience a break in at our home, always make sure that your Tulsa, OK. homeowner's insurance is more than adequate to cover loss due to a burglary.
