A burglary is not only an emotional shock for those affected, but it often leaves visible damage to windows, doors, and interiors. Scratches on door frames, broken windows, or damaged surfaces not only affect the appearance but also the sense of security within one’s own home.
This is where SMARTRESQ comes in: Instead of replacing damaged elements, they are quickly, efficiently, and sustainably repaired using the latest technology. This saves time, costs, and resources – without compromising on quality.
Important Immediate Measures After a Burglary
After a burglary, quick and structured action is crucial. The Swiss Crime Prevention (SKPPSC) recommends not altering the crime scene initially in order to secure important evidence for the police investigation. Detailed guidelines can be found here: SKPPSC – Burglary Prevention.
Once the police have cleared the crime scene, the following steps are advisable:
-
Damage Documentation: Photos and reports facilitate the processing with your insurance company.
-
Temporary Securing: Windows and doors should be secured immediately to prevent further damage. Our partner company, Fensterdoktor.ch, can assist with this.
-
Quick Repair: Surface and material damages should be professionally repaired to restore the original functionality and appearance.
SMARTRESQ handles these tasks efficiently, ensuring that your home or business is restored to its original condition.

How Can Future Burglary Damage Be Prevented?
In addition to repairs, it’s worth considering preventive security measures. The police recommend the following, among others:
-
Burglar-resistant doors and windows: Reinforced frames, mushroom-head locking systems, and safety glazing make access more difficult.
-
Smart security technology: Alarm systems, motion detectors, and surveillance cameras serve as strong deterrents.
-
Visible security measures: Outdoor lighting and security fittings signal increased risk to potential intruders.
