If you�ｿｽve invested in a new HDTV, you are no doubt eager to keep it safe from potential thieves. As you may already know, high-end electronics are one of the targets thieves are after. There are a variety of ways to protect any investment, and protecting an expensive piece of home-theater equipment is no different. To begin with, you should document your new purchase by recording the serial number, model and other pertinent information and storing the documents in a safe place. Add photographs of the HDTV and sales receipts to your records to ensure that you will be reimbursed in case of a theft, fire, or other loss. If you have a particularly high-end model, it may be wise to inform your home insurance agent of the purchase so that it can be added to your policy.
Once you take the TV out of the box, you're probably excited to set it up, and don't worry a whole lot about what to do with the box, right? Don't just put it by the curb on your next recycling day! Otherwise, the whole neighborhood will know exactly what kind of TV you've purchased. Your trash has the potential to be a great source of information for thieves �ｿｽ so don't make it even easier for them by advertising your recent �ｿｽbig-ticket�ｿｽ purchases.
In addition to documenting and insuring your purchase, be aware of how the TV is mounted or displayed. One common way that TVs are now displayed is to mount them to a wall. HDTVs and other flat panel televisions should be mounted straight into the studs rather than the drywall. Mounting your TV to the framing of your house (aka �ｿｽstuds�ｿｽ) will not only help secure your TV from damage, but will also make it difficult for thieves to remove the TV from your residence. If it�ｿｽs not possible to secure your HDTV to a wall, consider bolting it to a large piece of furniture in order to make it more difficult to move.
Consider installing a home security system if you don�ｿｽt already own one. Security systems can protect your valuables and also make it more difficult for your thieves and burglars to walk off with your prized possessions. In the event that you need to have a repairman service your TV at your home, try to schedule the repairs at a time when you will be home, and preferably with someone else in the home as well. If it�ｿｽs inconvenient to schedule repairs when you will be present ask a trusted friend or family member to supervise. Consider setting up a �ｿｽnanny cam�ｿｽ to keep an eye on repair personnel, even if you'll just be in another room while they are working on your TV.
If you have installed something particularly expensive, such as a high-definition TV, improve your home security in the room where the item is located. For example, point a security camera or tummy camera at the TV. Install glass break detectors or window alarms on the sliding glass door to your living room, where the TV hangs in full view of the neighbors. Use common sense �ｿｽ do not leave the curtains open so anyone wandering by can check out your possessions. In fact, this is crucial to your home security even if you think you have nothing worth stealing.
