此题为判断题(对,错)。
Many people think there is no need to take special care over home security.
"I'm all right, I'm insured".
Maybe—if you're fully insured. Even then you can never recover the real value you place upon your possessions. But you can't insure against the upset and unhappiness that we all feel if our homes are seriously damaged by some stranger, our windows and doors smashed, our precious possessions ruined.
"It won't happen to me".
Won't it? A home is broken into almost every minute of the day. Thefts of all kinds, including cars and property stolen, happen twice as frequently.
"I've nothing worth stealing".
You may think not. But in fact every one has something worth a thief's attention. And we all have things of special value to us even if they're worth little or nothing in cash terms.
"I'm only a tenant here".
The thief doesn't care whether you're a tenant or an owner-occupier. You're just as likely to be robbed. Have a word with the owner of the house if you think extra locks and fastenings are necessary.
"They'll get in any way".
Most thieves are always looking for easy jobs. They are soon discouraged by houses they can't get into quickly and easily. So it's worth taking care.
This booklet will help you—It's based on the practical experience of police forces throughout the country. Most of the suggestions will cost you only a few minutes extra time and thought. A few may involve some expense, but this is small compared with the loss and unhappiness you might otherwise suffer. If you are in doubt, ask for free advice from the Crime Prevention Officer at your local police station.
Why should you still worry about protecting your possessions when you have insured them?
A.You tend to undervalue your possessions.
B.You cannot insure against any damage to property.
C.A robbery can ruin your happiness at home.
D.It takes a long time to recover all your money.
