Hi

Has anyone in Roquetas been broken into. I bought my apartment a year and a half ago and visit regularly, however in the space of 6 months I have been broken into twice. After the first time I had security grills installed. Two weeks ago I was out for a long weekend and the day I arrived I was broken into while out for dinner. One of the security grills was pulled out of the wall for them to get in a window. Can anyone suggest anything I could do?

Thanks

Donna

Hi

I thought of an alarm, however the electricity needs to be on and I only spend a few weeks a year there during school holiday times so my insurance insists no electricity or water on while you are not resident.

Thanks

Try fitting vibration alarms to the wreckers it could be the deferent needed to make a thief think twice.

Hi Donna,

We haven’t had any problems. We have an apartment near the Gran Plaza. We put up a dummy cctv camera and alarm box, as a deterrent.They both work with batteries. We also have a small cctv plaque on our back gate.Something to consider ?

All the best


Jackie

Hi,

We bought them both from Amazon in the U.K. They fitted in our hand luggage. I have heard that Amazon in Spain is very good, haven’t used them myself though. There is a possibility that Leroy Merlin may sell them or Bricomart in Vicar.
