Nowadays, new properties on the Costa Blanca are built with security doors, protection grills and monitored alarms. A property in a community is even more protected because a community is occupied all year round.

Some recommendations:

Don’t make easy to enter your property (security doors), don’t let a ladder in your garden or things that make easy to access your house.
Lock the windows when you aren’t home.

Don’t show off your stuffs (plasma TV, dvd players) usually thieves know you have that stuffs when you get rid of the boxes or if you let the boxes in your garage, so take the boxes away to some place where they could be recycled.

Even if you live alone put several names on the entry doors.

Ask your neighbour or someone to collect your mails when you aren’t home.

If you contracted a video monitoring system connected to a central make sure that the company offering this service is registred with the Registro de Empresas de la Dirección General de la Policía.

Infra-red detector is the most modern security system, it detects the people by the temperature of their body (37 degrees Celsius), if you have the money for that system go for that.
