1-Start keeping your home safe by preventing valuables from being seen from outside
Residential burglaries are commonplace, and in addition to the psychological damage, they have an enormous financial cost for Mexican households. Recently, Miguel Bosé himself, with a private escort, suffered a large-scale robbery at his home in Mexico City.
To minimize your exposure, we encourage you to keep valuables, such as cash, jewelry, electronics, and premium liquor, out of sight.
Check out and compare our plans to find out how easy and affordable it is to get a personalized security plan for your home in Mexico City.
2. Do not provide hiding places near doors and windows
Grown bushes provide the camouflage that burglars need to enter your home without the neighbors noticing. Keep trees and bushes trimmed and avoid trash piling up at your front door: believe it or not, thousands of robberies occur in Mexico every week due to not taking care of these small, important details.
3. Change the door material to solid wood or metal clad
Did you know that, on average, nearly one-third of burglars enter a home through the front door? An old or hollow wood door can be broken down in a matter of seconds. Improve your home security by installing a solid wood or metal-clad door without windows.
4. Illuminate entrances and hallways at night, a key point to increase home security
A dark entryway or hallway is not only a security hazard, but it's also like rolling out a welcome mat for a burglar. We encourage you to use hallway lighting and motion sensors to illuminate the exterior of your home. Some alarm monitoring providers even offer apps that allow you to control your home's lighting from your smartphone.
5. Make sure your house number is clearly visible from the street
When an emergency occurs, every second counts. Make sure police, firefighters, and/or paramedics can quickly find the right house by keeping your house numbers visible. Are they easy to see from the street? Can anyone who hasn't been there before recognize them? An easy test is to order a food delivery and see how easily they can find your exact door.
6. Keep a cell phone handy and always charged
Even if you don't use a cell phone as your primary means of communication, having one on hand is a good safety precaution. Some burglars will try to cut phone lines before entering the home, so having a charged cell phone to call for help can literally end up saving your life.
7. Cancel email when you are going to be away for more than 2 days
There are certain specific details that a burglar always looks for when studying a neighborhood, and an overflowing mailbox is one of them! So don't forget to put off your physical mail when you're traveling for an extended period, or ask a neighbor or family member to pick up your mail for you.
8. Display signs or window decals indicating that your home is monitored
Make sure you display the decals provided by your home security company. We recommend placing these decals on the windows facing the side and back of your home, as well as the front, so everyone can clearly see that you are protected.
