Burglar Security Tips for Tenants Who Live Alone | Oh My Apartment
Burglar security is important for any apartment living situation, but even more so for a tenant who lives alone. You can’t just hope that it will never happen to you. You have to be proactive to prevent a burglary from happening in the first place. Here are some tips to help you protect yourself and your valuables from an intruder.
1. Use a Deadbolt
A deadbolt can be an extra deterrent to a burglar. Use it every time you walk in your front door. If you don’t have one, ask your landlord to install one. If he won’t do it, learn how to do it yourself, or hire someone to install it.
2. Window Locks
The same goes for windows as the front door. If you can install an extra internal lock on a window, it can help you protect your apartment.
3. Buy a Dog
Your apartment might not allow pets, so this one might not apply for your situation. However, if your lease agreement allows pets, a dog can be a great investment. They work as a great burglar alarm, and most burglars don’t want to mess with a dog, no matter what size it is.
4. Buy a Burglar Alarm
There are very effective burglar alarms that can be set up in your apartment. You can buy a motion-sensitive door alarm that goes off when your front door opens. You can also buy “barking dog alarms”, which are motion-sensitive. If someone gets too close to your front door, it starts barking. Another option is to consult with a security company that can install a system that protects your entire apartment, including windows.
5. Always Lock the Door
Don’t make the mistake of walking down to your building’s laundry room and leaving your door open for a few minutes. It takes less than 20 seconds for a burglar to walk through an unlocked door, grab something valuable and walk back out without your knowledge. Burglaries happen FAST, so don’t give criminals an easy opportunity.
...McBride remembered as 'fireman's firefighter'
Michael ‘Mac’ McBride was a legend in the Rocky Mount Fire Department.
From the moment he joined the department in December 1981 to his retirement in 2003 and his rehiring as a part-time employee in 2004, he stood out.
“The fire service was his passion, and it fit him well,” former Fire Chief Keith Harris said. “He was a natural. Mike was a big man. He was very tall in stature and physically strong, yet he was extremely smart and bright. He could do anything he set his mind to and that just made the fire department a natural fit for him.”
Harris said McBride, who died July 8 at the age of 54, knew his job and did it well.
“He was very dedicated. I know if my house was on fire or my family was trapped in a wrecked automobile, Mike McBride is the type of firefighter I would want to have on the scene first,” he said. “He was a fireman’s firefighter.”
Fire Marshal Phillip Davis said McBride was selected for Squad 4 early on in his career, which is typically for ‘elite firefighters.’
