Of those 400,000, single family homes are the most frequent victims. Advertising
Most burglars are creatures of opportunity, trolling for homes that show opportunities for easy rewards.
- Christmas tree lights
- Gift boxes in the trash
- Notes on the door, “I’ll be home at 3″
- Valuables seen through windows such as laptops, televisions, game consoles, etc.
- Over-stuffed mailboxes
- Garbage cans left on the street
Conceal rather than advertise — they hate that.
Additionally, if you have some type of security system you should advertise it. Sure, there are professional burglars that laugh at security signs, but remember most are amateurs.
Video Cameras
Video cameras are also a great advertisement to burglars that your house is not the right house. Easy Access: No Threat
- Windows and doors in disrepair
- Unsecured screen or storm doors
- Unlocked backyard gates
- Poor or no outdoor lighting
- Unlocked sheds and barns
- Concealment such as shrubs and fences
Windows are obviously likely points of entry for burglars.
- When homeowners come home and leave at the same time
- When doors such as garage doors, are open only when someone is home
Varying schedules.
- Driving slowing through the neighborhood with no one turning a head
Neighbors that prepare
Of course, burglars especially hate it when you’ve made it easy for your neighbors to help. Slow reaction time
- More time to loot
- More time to get away
- More time to change their appearance
- More time to sell the goods
- Another chance to do it again
Clearly Addressed Homes
Homes that have their house number clearly visible both day and night make it easier for police to respond quickly.
Alarm System
Burglars love it when:
- No description of them is available
- Homeowner doesn’t quickly know what was stolen
- Homeowner doesn’t have accurate descriptions of stolen property
Burglars hate:
Security Cameras
The sight of security cameras will send most burglars the other way. Additionally, today’s camera systems are accessible remotely via laptops and smart phones. So no matter where you are — work, vacation, traveling — you can check on your house, and if need be, share the evidence with law enforcement.

The common terms used in New Zealand are Camper or Campervan, Motorhome and Sleeper Van. Self-contained vehicles have a sink, hob or cooker, fridge, toilet and shower.
A Sleeper Van is a Camper that does not meet the self-containment criteria. Purpose built Sleeper Vans are frequently constructed from people movers, such as Toyota’s offering, and from station wagons. Sleeper vans, like campers, are easy to drive.
You do need a self-contained motorhome/campervan.
3) DoC Campground (Department of Conservation) – typically have fewer facilities than other established campgrounds, so a self-contained motorhome / campervan would make life more comfortable.
4) Free / Wild / Freedom camping – just parking up wherever. Rules on freedom camping vary from district to district. To freedom camp a self-contain motorhome/camper is a must.
Past the obvious vehicle rental costs things to consider are whether extra charges for one-way rentals apply, what are the insurance options and whether road user charges for diesel vehicles are included.
Self-contained Motorhome or Sleeper Van? Choosing the Right Vehicle for Your New Zealand Holiday
The story of A Christmas Carol written by Charles Dickens has become an instant hit for Christmas films because of the life lesson and transformation it presents.
Scrooge or Marley’s Ghost is perhaps the oldest adaptation in film that is preserved.
The 1913 adaptation of A Christmas Carol entitled Scrooge was also a silent film. It’s Never Too Late shows the story of Antonio Trabbi who is similar to Scrooge in the original Christmas Carol story. He was also visited by his business partner and warned of the three ghosts that will show him his past Christmas seasons, present Christmas season, and his future Christmas season. In the case of Scrooge, it took four ghosts to make him realize the value of life and Christmas.
