Store looting and vandalism: delay break-ins with anti-burglary window tape.
Protect your business against vandalism.
According to Insee, in 2018, 2% of households in France "reported having been the victim of an act of vandalism against their home" and 5% "report acts of vandalism on their car".
The social context in France has been extremely tense in recent years.
Between political changes, health crises, inflation and public service incidents, there's plenty to get people fired up.
It's difficult, if not impossible, to foresee and prevent an act of vandalism against our property. How can you protect your business and delay a crime as long as possible?
What is vandalism, and how can we prevent it?
Vandalism is described in Le Robert dictionary as "the destruction or deterioration of works of art or equipment".
This concerns all types of damage that have recently taken place in our towns: destruction of shop windows, damage to public and private property, theft and burning of cars and equipment...
Vandalism is nothing new, and it's always present.
Certain peaks are observed when the social, political or economic context is tense. Examples include political announcements and controversial content posted on social networks.
To try and stop the vandalism, the police come into play. Unfortunately, it's not always easy to detain offenders, as public services are limited in manpower.
That's why it's imperative to find solutions to protect yourself before violence occurs .
How can I protect my business from vandalism?
Preventing an offenderfrom destroying your business is a complicated task. There are a number of steps you can take, either preventively or after the fact, to save your business:
- Install anti-intrusion film to protect and reinforce shop windows
This solution will solidify your windows in the event of vandalism (attempted breakage), intrusion or other damage.
- Reinforce entrance locks
Securing entrances is essential to delay or prevent thieves.
- Check your insurance contract, the deadlines to be met in the event of a claim, and your coverage.
France has seen many violent nights recently. The government is currently looking into ways of facilitating the release of insurance claims.
