🛡️ Prevention & Advice: Protection Against Theft in Your Own Four Walls
To protect yourself from theft and burglaries, the Thüringer Polizei recommends simple but effective rules of conduct:
- Store valuables safely: Keep larger sums of cash, expensive jewelry, or important documents in a certified security container (safe) or in a locker at your bank.
- Vigilance with service providers: Never leave strangers or craftsmen to act unsupervised in your living quarters. Lock rooms where work is not currently being carried out.
- Lock doors and windows: Always double-lock windows and doors, even during short absences. Tilted windows are like open doors for thieves.
- Neighborhood vigilance: Pay attention to unknown persons in the hallway or on the neighboring property and address them directly if in doubt.
