SAN ANTONIO
– Every year, San Antonio area homeowners report the theft of their inflatable decorations, whether it’s for Halloween or Christmas.
Some of those yard decorations can get pretty expensive.
Here are a few tips on how to protect that investment.
It’s not a guarantee, but it might just bust the plans of those thieves.
Every night before you go to bed, turn off the lawn decorations.
Consider if you can put the inflatables on the roof of your house or moving them closer to your home away from the road.
Buy longer stakes than the ones that come with the inflatables. We found some at Home Depot for a few bucks. These are used to anchor the inflatable to the ground.
Invest in a cable bike lock to secure the inflatable to a stake or tie it to a nearby tree or pillar.
There are various options and price ranges available for motion sensor alarms and pull-string alarms.
A pack of AirTags can be a worthwhile investment, as they can be purchased for less than $100. Putting them on an inflatable can help police track down the thieves if the inflatables are taken.
