You’ve hired a
furniture removalist (hopefully us) and you’ve packed all your essentials into
good quality removal boxes. You feel safe and that you have nothing left to
worry about but statistically speaking, it is when you feel that nothing is a
miss that crime often happens. We know that you probably have a million other
things to worry about aside from security but taking the time to follow some of
our tips may help your family avoid being a victim.

Tip #1
Darkness is also
your best friend:
It has been said
that darkness is a thief’s best mate but it can also be yours. If you’ve packed
all of your belongings or hired prepackers to help you out then chances are
most of your items are already in boxes. If for example someone were to look
inside your windows and decided to steal one of your boxes then you most likely
be part of a long list of victims of opportunistic theft. It would be a good
idea then to keep your blinds and curtains up until the last possible moment so
that people cannot see into your house.
Tip #2
Silence is
Golden:
We know how
tempting it must be to broadcast to the whole world that you’re moving but
criminal groups have been known to take advantage of social media to plan
household break-ins. Sure, it may seem like a harmless tweet or a Facebook post
right now but what you’re doing is painting a huge target on your house that
says “Rob me”.
Tip# 3
Lock down:
Locking up may
seem like the easiest thing in the world but most of us still forget to close
our doors. On the day of your move or while your packing up, it would be easy
to get flustered and to forget to lock your windows or doors. This once again
exposes you to opportunistic theft and it could have been easily remedied by closing
your doors. Click.
Hopefully these
quick and easy safety tips can help your family have a quiet and uneventful
move. On a related note, if you haven’t hired a local mover to help you then
use MiniMovers which is Australia’s number one short distance removals service.
If you need local removalists in Perth, Gold Coast, Brisbane or almost anywhere
in the country then give us a call.
