Other techniques for a safe house

We put no more latches on doors and windows (especially if there is no alarm). It will cost you approximately 3 to 5 Euros. You can always activate the alarm and let it be missing for a very short time. In my case, they came in day – noon, Sunday that I missed for 2-3 hours. I had left computers open and did not activate the alarm.

Other places to hide your valuables

Here are some ideas on how to hide things at home, although you have to act completely unorthodox in order to get into the mind of a stranger who does not know your space and starts to find some things you have hidden. You need to understand that the philosophy and psychology of a thief when he enters your home is to do two things:

1. Steal as much as possible as soon as possible…
2. Ideas that will make the thief find them:
So what you should do is:

Put the money you want in a food bag and in turn cover it with a layer of dough and put it in a second bag in the freezer.You find a power outlet that is not used often, you open it, dig it more and put the money you want to hide in the bottom of the cylinder.
Ideal next step is to put in front of a cupboard or some furniture ..
Pull the refrigerator and put the back and a bag tied to the vents
If you have a false ceiling, near a luminaire
If you have your bed in a fixed place, you can break a tile near the middle and dig deep enough to hide some bundles. Close it as you opened it and put silicone around it.
If you have a skirting board, you can take it out slowly in a place that is not visible and dig the wall a little and hide it from behind. If you want it to be visitable, do not put silicone, but you may have a problem with mopping with a lot of water.
On the lid that covers the cables of the suspended luminaires on the ceiling

Whatever case you decide to hide your money, remember that it would be good to leave 50-100 € in your nightstand so that the thieves do not make your house upside down, which will be enough for this money. We leave some money in a conspicuous place (maybe they will be satisfied and leave).

And for those who have fallen victim to theft (there are too many lately) according to the police, thieves do not risk re-entering the same house, fearing that they may have been seen or there may be additional security measures.
