Protect Your Jewerly

How safe is your jewelry? Where do you keep it when you're not wearing it? Is it really safe in your home? The majority of thefts occur when workers, guests or friends are in your home, and your jewelry is visible or accessible for them to steal. In addition, burglars are known to case neighborhoods looking for opportunities to steal.

They look for uncut lawns, newspapers on the doorstep, no cars in the driveway--signs that indicate you aren't home or you've been away for awhile. Some thieves even have the nerve to knock on your door to see if anybody's home. Security for your jewelry and other valuables in your home is a matter of attitude; realize that all neighborhoods are vulnerable to burglaries.

Your home could be a target if a thief feels you have valuables worth stealing and there's easy access to your valuables. Surprisingly, most burglaries occur during the day, not at night. Burglaries also are more frequent when doors and windows are unlocked, whether or not people are at home.

Think about this: How easy would it be for a burglar to slip into your home unnoticed and steal your valuables if you were occupied in another part of the house, outside in the garden, or mowing the lawn? It could only take a minute!
