Welcome back to The Code of Style, and this feature about 5 Ways to Protect Your Valuables from Thieves and Damage.
Coming out of Christmas, it is possible you got some expensive and beautiful gifts. So you must care for them. Here are some safety tips to protect your valuables and care for them properly
5 Ways to Protect Your Valuables from Thieves and Damage
1. Always Store them Properly.
Storage is essential for valuable items. Properly-designed storage ensures that they can be locked away, are protected by not moving around, and can be safely stowed. For example, you should use plush bead boxes (https://www.trollbeads.com/collections/outlet) if your Trollbead collection is getting bigger.
And your expensive watch collection will definitely benefit from a specialized watch box that allows you to display them without compromising their safety
2. Think like a burglar
You must, of course, take steps to keep your stuff from being stolen. Burglars are most likely to strike during and right after the holidays when people are likely to get valuable gifts. So, just in case, take steps to make it hard for them.
First, if you don’t already have one, put it in a security system. And try to find weak spots, like windows that are easy to open. And hide your valuables in hard-to-find places or something that will take too much time and effort, like a wall safe
3. Protect your valuables by cleaning them properly
Protecting your valuables includes keeping things in good shape. For example, if you don’t take care of your Rolex, it won’t last very long. But be careful about how you do it. And if you clean a piece of expensive jewelry with harsh chemicals and brushes, you can completely ruin it.
So, it’s always a good idea to spend some time learning the right way to clean anything valuable. If you want to learn about things like this, Google and YouTube are your best friends for tutorials
4. Keep the kids away
Children are bad for things that cost a lot. Think about how many times juice has gotten on your couch. Or how many necklaces those cute, chubby fingers have taken from their owners.
So, you should take extra steps to keep your children from getting your valuable things. Putting them on shelves up high will help. But the best thing to do is probably to put them away in drawers, cabinets, and your closet. Try places that the children typically don’t have access to.
5. Store when away from home.
Thieves are more likely to break into an empty house. You can never be too careful, even if you have a housesitter. Over 40% of break-ins and thefts are done by people who the victim already knows.
So, even if someone you sort of trust is watching your house while you’re away, it might be a good idea to put away your most valuable items. There are self-storage places in your area that are very safe. And these days, a safety deposit box doesn’t cost very much at all.
In Conclusion
You can reduce the chances of losing something dear to you if you protect your valuables. This includes proper home storage, correct maintenance, and storing off-site when you are away.
