My friends home was burglarized last week. It happened during daylight hours between 11:00AM & 3:00PM. The home was entered through the back door. Just a small glass was broken to gain entry. The burglar went to the bedroom and took all the jewelry from a dresser drawer. It appeared that they left through the front door.
The police explained that a majority of women leave their jewelry in a dresser drawer. The advice was obvious: Lock up valuables in a safe. The police also inquired about hand guns. They too should be locked up.
Homeowners insurance needed exact details to determine value. How many of us could do that? The suggestion for jewelry is to photograph it. This way you will not forget about a braclet or somehing else small that you don't wear often. Do the same for other valuables in the house.
Why am I telling you this story?? Everything has a lesson. I will be telling all clients to lock up or pack up all valuables. This doesn't have to be done in an alarming way. It just makes sense, especially since the house is being shown every day.
