If you are home alone, and somebody comes to the door, you will probably shout out “I got it” so that it seems like someone else is there with you and you are not alone at home, this way you can be safe. Then how can we stay safe in our daily lives? Here are some tips:
1. It’s a good idea to give your apartment a safety check—before you even move in. Complete this safety check list. Can you see who’s at the door without opening it? Are your doors made of metal? Have all your doors been rekeyed since you moved in?
2.Become BFFs (best friends forever) with your neighbors. If you’re shy, then you’d probably prefer anything else to chatting with neighbors, But make an effort to be friendly, if only for safety’s sake (面子) . In one way or another, your neighbors may be your best wealth in times of trouble and they’ll be more willing to lend a hand to a friend than they are to help out a stranger.
3.Always throw parties. Burglars (窃贼) are less likely to target busy homes. So yes, this can be your excuse to throw a party. Having people over can make your home seem like there are more people living in it. It’ll also show would-be burglars that a lot of friends have got your back.
4.Be smart about spare keys. Burglars know exactly where to check for spare keys. So don’t think you’re being clever by hiding them in the mailbox, or under a carpet. Instead, you’re better off leaving them to a friend or trusted neighbor.
