QUOTIDIAN Hoe to keep valuable things at home. How to protect your jewels and electronic equipment. Everyone has valuable things at home; such as watches, family jewels, computers, cameras, checkbooks and even money. There are two main and different risks involving objects. Theft and robbery. The cares to reduce these risks are quite different and that’s why they must be treated differently. What happens more frequently is theft. Mainly the ones practiced by people who work inside the house. We must not consider those people as the only ones that may rob things. This can also be practiced by relatives or “Close friends”. The things that are robbed are usually small, as watches , jewels, cause they are easy to be hidden. To avoid this most valuable objects must be kept in cabinets, drawers or other places that can be locked. The acquisition of a safe is unnecessary to this kind of crime. WHEN TO USE A SAFE The use of safes should be considered only to fancy objects and almost no use for money. That’s why a safe of good quality and well hidden should be very effective. Safes on the wall are more discreet but they are more vulnerable too. What if the robber invades the house? When this kind of situation happens, the best thing to do is to do everything that was required. Do not try to convince the robber that you do not know where objects are or if they do not exist. Some robbers may be very well informed. .
