Unlawful Entry: NYC PSA
Like a bad Ray Liotta movie, a bizarre theft scare took place on Friday, and seemed to snowball throughout the weekend.
Friday night, my friend's apartment, located just two blocks from mine, was broken into while she was out. She had left her rear window open a crack, and apparently that was enough to allow illegal entry. The burglars didn't completely sweep the place, but she lost some very sentimental, and therefore irreplaceable, heirlooms.
Strange, but true FACT #1: Her brother's car was professionally stolen from his company's parking lot the same day.
Strange, but true FACT #2: Our mutual friend reported that one of the apartments on her floor - the fifth floor of a walkup building - was burglarized during broad daylight on Saturday. Fifth floor...broad daylight...HUH?
While I normally feel very safe walking through the streets of New York, this is a crucial reminder of how careful one needs to be in the city. A few things to remember:
Always lock your windows when you're not at home.
Don't let strangers into your building, especially at night.
Think about getting renter's insurance.
The last is something I've only thought about in terms of fire or Acts of God, but now see it can provide much needed peace of mind should you experience the misfortune of apartment theft. For less than $15-$30 a month, it may be worth it.
