How to guard against theft?

According to the characteristics of theft cases during the Spring Festival in previous years, police spokesman Lu Zhicheng suggested that citizens can take some preventive measures to reduce the risk of theft.

According to the analysis, in previous years, thieves mainly focused on valuables such as cash and jewelry, so the police advised citizens to store valuables such as gold and silver, cash tickets, commemorative coins, stamps, antiques and small high-value items such as digital cameras and laptops in friends' homes or bank safes before going out during the Spring Festival. Before going out, citizens should check doors and windows, water, electricity and gas, and close valves to prevent accidents such as fire.

At the same time, citizens should also take measures to confuse thieves and not let them know that there is no one at home. The police suggest that residents can turn on a small light or leave one or two curtains open at home before going out to confuse thieves. They can also ask neighbors to help clean up cards and newspapers at home regularly to prevent thieves from getting information about the head of household going out. At the same time, the police also stressed that it is also important for neighbors to take care of each other during the Spring Festival. Often thieves will knock on the door in advance to determine whether there is anyone in the residents' home. If the neighbors can stand up and question the thief at this time, it can often scare the thief away, so that the thief can't steal.

The police said that during the Spring Festival, even if citizens do not go out at home, they should not be careless. It is also necessary to take some anti-theft measures: for example, hanging wind chimes on balconies or windows, and hanging voice-activated dolls at the door of windowsills to prevent thieves from climbing onto the terrace while people are sleeping; Put flowerpots on the flat top of the balcony guardrail to make it difficult for thieves to cross; Or install a induction lamp on the balcony and turn on the switch before going to bed. Once someone climbs onto the terrace or makes noise, the lights will light up, which can scare away thieves. Or, a number of iron nails are inserted backwards and fixed on a certain length of strip-shaped iron sheet, plastic and other materials to make "anti-climbing iron bars", and then fixed on the lower edges of fences and windows with plastic expansion pipes or super glue to form an anti-climbing barrier.

Wake up

In response to some thefts during the Spring Festival holiday in previous years, the police reminded the general public to pay special attention to burglary during the Chinese New Year.

According to the police analysis, during the Spring Festival, the targets of burglary by criminals are mostly residential areas with no property management, backward civil air defense measures, old-fashioned security doors and easy climbing. Generally, methods such as prying, unlocking and sneaking in are adopted.

In order to ensure the safety of citizens' property during the Spring Festival, the police reminded the general public to install reliable security doors and windows, and timely check whether the security doors and windows at home are safe and reliable; Try not to store a lot of cash at home, and put your laptop, digital camera, video camera and all kinds of jewelry in a safe place when you go out or rest.
