Today, however, we will discuss a <strong>number of tactics<\/strong> you can use <strong>to prevent breaking and entering<\/strong> in your home.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">And this advice is not only useful if you live in Barcelona, but also when you are enjoying your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/short-term-rentals\" class=\"broken_link\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>holiday accommodation<\/strong><\/a> in the city. Just check our list and do what you can to discourage break-ins during your absence.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_104282\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-104282\" class=\"size-full wp-image-104282\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Foto-door-Raul-Petri-via-Unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"Apartment with orange shutters\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-104282\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Photo by Raul Petri via Unsplash<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Keep_windows_and_doors_closed\"><\/span>1. Keep windows and doors closed<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Although this might sound a bit too obvious, it is one of the most important measures you can take when it comes to securing your home or apartment. Before you go out, <strong>check whether all doors and windows are shut and locked<\/strong>, also those that lead to a shared balcony.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sometimes your apartment building has entrances to shared facilities (like a <strong>basement<\/strong> or <strong>garage<\/strong>) or <strong>patios<\/strong>. These are especially favourite with thieves, as they make it easy to breaking and entering into a building.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Do_not_completely_close_the_blinds\"><\/span>2. Do not completely close the blinds<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You want to do everything you can to <strong>make it difficult<\/strong> for burglars to break in, so you should let them have the impression that you are at home. If you close everything (blinds, shutters, etcetera), they are more likely to think that the owners are not at home. If you <strong>leave the blinds open just a bit<\/strong>, and you leave a light on, there is less chance that your house will attract the attention of uninvited guests.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_104280\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-104280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-104280\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Foto-door-ehud-neuhaus-via-Unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"Green wall with green shutters\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-104280\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Photo by ehud neuhaus via Unsplash<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Dont_disconnect_the_doorbell\"><\/span>3.

The police, however, strongly advise against doing this, because for <strong>many burglars<\/strong> this is the best way to <strong>check if someone is at home<\/strong>. If the doorbell does not ring at all, they assume the house is empty.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Talk_only_with_people_you_trust\"><\/span>4.

The chances of you <strong>being seen<\/strong> whilst doing it are smallest, and the less a burglar knows about your absence from home, the better.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Just_as_if\"><\/span>6. Just as if<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This is one of the <strong>most effective ways<\/strong> to keep burglars walking past your house. As already said before, your house will not be noticed if nothing seems out of the ordinary. So if the lights are on as usual, this works, but what if you don&#8217;t have a time switch to automatically turn on the lights during your absence? If there is <strong>someone you trust<\/strong>, check if they will do this for you. He or she can also <strong>empty your mailbox<\/strong> or <strong>turn on the sound of your TV or radio<\/strong> every now and then.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Being_a_good_neighbour\"><\/span>7.

It is therefore important to get acquainted with everyone. If there is something out of the ordinary, neighbours can alert the police. And there&#8217;s nothing more effective to keep thieves out of the area, than <strong>a police car<\/strong> driving up and down the street&#8230;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_104281\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-104281\" class=\"size-full wp-image-104281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/Foto-door-Erik-Mclean-via-Unsplash.jpg\" alt=\"Police cars in the street\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-104281\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Photo by Erik Mclean via Unsplash<\/em><\/p><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Store_your_valuables_in_a_safe_place\"><\/span>8.

A list of all your belongings may seem a bit exaggerated, but this is, in fact, the only way to know exactly what is inside your home. Electronics, cash, jewellery, art&#8230; Make <strong>a list of everything<\/strong> that is <strong>of value<\/strong> to you, and also note its characteristics, brand and serial number.

You can also hire a company to turn on the lights at certain times via your <strong>home automation system<\/strong>. Often you prefer a certain setting per season, but you can also activate a holiday setting.

Your insurance company also needs this report.<\/li>\n<li>You can report it at <strong>any<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/mossos.gencat.cat\/.content\/home\/dadesobertes\/comissaries\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><strong>Mossos d&#8217;Esquadra<\/strong><\/a> <strong>police station<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Although it is best to do this as soon as you have discovered the break-in, there is <strong>no specific time frame <\/strong>for the report.<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t forget to bring <strong>identification<\/strong> with you (NIE, passport or driving license).<\/li>\n<li>Make sure you have <strong>invoices<\/strong> for valuables that have been stolen. This way you can prove what exactly is missing, and what it was worth.<\/li>\n<li>If you have seen the thief, provide the police with as many <strong>details<\/strong> as possible.<\/li>\n<li>Take a look at the surrounding area after the burglary. Maybe there are <strong>security cameras<\/strong> at ATMs or nearby shops.

It might be tempting to do without insurance for a little while, but this only results in a lot of stress and many sleepless nights if something bad happens during that exact period. So having an <strong>insurance saves you a lot of trouble<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, if you don&#8217;t have any insurance, still follow the steps we mentioned above. You <strong>cannot claim compensation<\/strong> with an insurance company, but you can hope and pray for the <strong>police<\/strong> to <strong>find<\/strong> some of the <strong>stolen<\/strong> <strong>items<\/strong> back. There are no guarantees, but it does sometimes happen.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Have you bought a house or are you renting accommodation? If so, always remember to take out a good insurance policy, and always read the small print to make sure it is <strong>the right insurance for you, for your budget and for your specific
