Your Personal Safety – Part Two

                                                                                         

Don’t go home under any circumstances. This will only help the person know exactly where you live. It is unwise to label your keys with your name, address and telephone number. Not only could the person enter your home, but they would also be able to start a campaign of ‘crank calls’ and phone you at any time, day, or night.

If you do lose your keys, have a spare set at home and leave another set with a family member or someone you can trust. Change the locks on all your doors if you feel uncomfortable. OzFreeOnline.com has a great classified section where to search all you need to do is join, log in and begin to browse all the categories. At an online site called spec-net.com.au you can find all types of security locks for your home. They have been making security door locks in Australia for over twenty years.

Always be alert and aware of your surroundings, be vigilant when talking about social events, weekends away or holiday plans, because someone may overhear you and know when you will be away from home. Carry a small personal safety alarm if you are walking anywhere that you may feel ‘unsafe’ or vulnerable. These personal alarms are quite small are easily operated and emit the most frightening, piercing sound.

When you are at home keep lights on in all doorways, and install motion sensor lights outside your home, particularly in areas that can fill the entire yard with light. If you do not have security doors or window screens, then it is important to either have them installed or keep all doors and windows locked when you are at home. OzFreeOnline.com has a category called ‘house-wares’ and here you will find security alarms which can be fitted to any home, anywhere in Melbourne, the other site that I have sourced for you is locksgalore.com.au, who boast that they can fit a large range of domestic, and commercial locks, all at discount prices, and this makes home security very affordable.
