A person’s home is a place where one can relax without any danger. But you can not overlook the fact that most of the rapes, robberies even murders take place while the victim is in his own home. There is a special need to be aware for self defense tactics while you are in your own home. Let us discuss some very basic precautions one should take in his home.
Normally, people open the door of their houses on a doorbell without asking “Who is there?” This can lead to major problems and it should be cared of. Emergency situations do occur. Let us say that you are alone at your home and a couple comes at you door telling you a tale that they have had an accident and need to make an urgent phone call. What should be your reply? The most suitable option for you will be to just ask them for their desired phone number and make that call yourself. Do not let them in your house.
Trend of home delivery of different eatables is very common these days. If you have a home delivery boy waiting at the door, do ask for your booking number before opening the door. Many fundraising organizations go from house to house collecting money. If such a person comes knocking at your door, just ask them for their official address or phone number and donate at their respective franchises if you are interested. Do not let such people in your home.
Another important step is that if you use answering machines often, it is a good practice to avoid leaving messages like “We will be out of reach from this time to this time”; rather you can leave a message like “We are busy right now and will call you later”.
