What are some safety tips when purchasing a home theater system?

When buying a home theater system, you may want to get a security system or other means of protectiing your system.

At Staples and some other electronic stores, they have a security cable device on the back of the unit where you can attach a cable wire or cable lock so that you can actually attach the unit to a shelf or another unit. That is so that someone can't simply walk in and take it out and walk out of the door with it. They would have to have some serious cable cutters, screwdrivers or a wrench. There are other things that are used to tie cables together so you will be able to slow down a thief. Thieves like easy access into your home. If you have windows with no shades and people are looking right into your home and can see what you have, then you are more likely to get broken into. If you have drapes and things that keep a person from looking in your windows, that is a form of protection. If you buy a unit, don't put out the whole box on the curb to be picked up with the trash. Fold those boxes down so that people can't see that you just bought something.
