Introduction: The Gift of Peace of Mind
Father's Day is just around the corner, a time to celebrate the dads who stand as our lifelong protectors. This year, move beyond the traditional tie or coffee mug and give him a gift that honors his role as the family guardian: the gift of security and peace of mind.
Coincidentally, Father's Day arrives just as summer vacation season kicks into high gear. While your family is planning a well-deserved getaway, it's important to remember that household burglaries spike in the summer months, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics.
This guide will help you choose the perfect, practical Father's Day gift that doubles as a powerful tool to protect your home while you're away. Let's give Dad the ultimate gift: the ability to relax on vacation, knowing his kingdom is secure.
The Summer Security Blindspot: Why Your Home is More Vulnerable
To protect your home, you need to think like a burglar. Summer creates a unique set of opportunities that you and Dad should be aware of.
- The Obvious Absence: Piled-up mail, an overgrown lawn, and perpetually dark windows are tell-tale signs that no one is home.
- The Cover of Noise: The drone of lawnmowers, laughter from pool parties, and the crackle of fireworks can easily mask the sound of a window breaking or a door being forced open.
-
The Social Media Broadcast: Sharing your vacation in real-time on public social media accounts is like putting up a giant "We're Not Home!" sign for thieves to see.
The Pre-Travel Security Checklist: Fortifying the Family Castle
Help Dad fortify the family home with this essential checklist. These layers of security work together to create a powerful defense.
-
Create the Illusion of Presence
- Use Smart Timers: Schedule lights, a radio, or a TV to turn on and off in different rooms at various times to mimic a natural routine.
- Manage Mail and Deliveries: Use the USPS Hold Mail service and ask a trusted neighbor to collect any packages that may arrive.
-
Strengthen Your Physical Barriers
- Inspect All Entry Points: Together with Dad, check every door, window, and potential access point, including the garage and basement.
- Reinforce with Quality Hardware: Ensure all exterior doors have a 1-inch deadbolt and consider adding security bars to sliding glass doors.
-
Leverage Modern Technology
- Install Cameras and Alarms: A monitored security system with visible cameras is a powerful deterrent and provides 24/7 peace of mind through alerts sent directly to your phone.
-
Inform a Trusted Neighbor
- A friendly set of eyes is invaluable. Ask a neighbor to watch for suspicious activity and keep an eye on your property.
