Question: Home security after attacks?

(Posted by: Patrino on 2009-03-20 14:14:10)

Hi My friend is living alone and has recently been victim of car vandelism (all the windows smashed) , and just yesterday her dustbins were cut open and searched through. Im very concerned she is being targeted. The police are of no help, as they have nothing to go on. Can someone please recommend anything to help home security? its a rented home so i am not sure if upgraded locks or security lights are allowed to be fitted as they would mean drilling into walls etc.. any ideas please ppl? there are a lot of nasty people out there and i want to help my friend.

Most apartments don't allow dogs. Guns can be a legal hassle. There are wireless home security systems that won't require drilling into walls. GE Home Security offers 24 hour monitoring for a reasonable fee. I'm sure a system can be customized to meet your friends needs. hilosatellite.com/ homesecurity

Your friend should talk to the landlord and explain her concerns about safety, the landlord more than likely will understand the need to feel safe but he might want her to pay for all that. In the meantime maybe she should get a dog if is permitted by her landlord. Everyone has a right to feel safe in her own home.
