vandalism in business property

When owning and operating a business, there are certain events you hope never occur, yet your plan nonetheless. Storm damage, a lawsuit, rubbery even a cyber attack. Vandalism though, is usually one of those things that’s not thoroughly considered until it actually happens. The willful destruction is usually done for no reason other than to do something malicious.

Cases of breaking a windows, setting of fires, destroying of furnitures, spraying paintings on buildings, gluing locks, ransacking your home and even causing flooding by clogging your drain are examples of vandalism.

While it is impossible to prevent all acts of vandalism, you can prepare your property so that it discourages vandals.

1. Maintain good lighting . The property should remain well lit, especially at night.
2. Install and properly maintain cameras. Police can use surveillance cameras to identify and catch perprators.
3. Keep property tidy. An unorganized property tends to attack vandals.
4. Plant shrubbery and fencing. These are the first line of defense against potential intruders.
5. Invest in break in resistant glass. It will make the act of breaking in more difficult for vandals to break in.
6. Report to authorities. Report vandalism to your local department as soon as possible.
