I often wonder how many people have cherished missing property just sitting in the evidence room of police departments because no one claimed those items or they couldn't identify the owner. Have you ever tried to explain exactly what your ring looks like or that special painting, your collection of dolls, family heirlooms, china, etc.? Having our home inventory service that includes our video and digital photographic record to give to police will help keep your cherished possessions out of that evidence locker and back in your home where it belongs.

Let our professional Home Inventory Services take your worries away.

--"Just a note of thanks for doing a very professional inventory of our home. You did everything you said you would.  I should have done this a long time ago." Mr. Robert G.

As part of our service, we can upon your request, send the photos and home inventory list to the police department for identification purposes of your property.

Home safety is a big concern these days. When leaving your home, whether going to the store, out to dinner or for a visit to Grandma's, the following advice could pay big dividends. A residence that presents a "lived-in" appearance is a deterrent to burglars. Never leave notes that can inform a burglar that your house is unoccupied.

Make certain all windows and doors are secured before departing. An empty garage advertises your absence, so close the doors. When going out at night, leave one or more interior lights on and perhaps have a radio playing (TV sets should not be left unattended). Invest in timers that will turn lights on and off during your absence.

Do not leave door keys under flower pots or doormats, inside an unlocked mailbox, over the doorway, or in other obvious places. 

When planning a vacation or prolonged absence:

• Discontinue milk, newspaper, and other deliveries by phone or in person ahead of time. Do not leave notes.  Arrange for lawn care and have someone remove advertising circulars and other debris regularly. On the other hand, several toys scattered about will create an impression of occupancy.

• Notify the post office to forward your mail or have a trustworthy person pick it up daily. Apartment house tenants should also heed this hint since stuffed mail receptacles are a telltale sign that no one is home.

• Inform neighbors of your absence so they can be extra alert for suspicious persons. Leave a key with them so your place may be periodically inspected. Ask them to vary the positions of your shades and blinds.

• When you leave, do not publicize your plans. Some burglars specialize in reading newspaper accounts of people's vacation activities.

• If you find a door or window has been forced or broken while you were away, DO NOT ENTER. The criminal may still be inside. Use a neighbor's phone immediately to summon police.

• Do not touch anything or clean up if a crime has occurred. Preserve the scene until police inspect for evidence.

Always remember to:

   1. Lock before you leave.
   2. Trust a neighbor with a key.
   3. Be a concerned neighbor yourself.
