About #HowSafeAreYou with Godrej Locking Solutions and Systems Event:
The goal or say agenda of the discussion and in this event is to understand the psyche of a robber.
Panel in discussion involved was Dr. Kaminidevi Bhoir, Honorary Psychiatric Counsellor for Mumbai Police, Vivek Agrawal, veteran crime journalist and author, Shyam Motwani, EVP and Head of Business – Godrej Locking Solutions and Systems, Prakash N. Borgaonkar, Western Region Head of HelpAge India and a victim of theft over the psyche of a robber.
Disscussion with these esteemed panels was really enlighting and Kamini Devi Bhoir, the honorary psychiatric counselor for the Mumbai Police, said, “A robber or a thief is somebody who has the urge to steal. This act of robbery is a disease and is called kleptomania. Kleptomania is associated with impulse control disorder, where you get an impulse to do a particular thing and you cannot stop it and you go ahead and commit the act, without thinking of its consequences. A robber has no conscience while committing such an act.”
Few points to be safe:
- Make sure you don’t share spare keys of your home with house helpers.
- Please ensure that your maids have proper police verification.
- Do make sure that you keep an eye on suspicious activity and if notice anything do inform nearest police station.
- If you have digital locks, make sure while opening and locking it should not be visible on webcam installed in your building.
- Do educate kids that not to share information about the home to strangers.
Safety is definitely in your hands with a little precaution. Make sure you stay safe with Godrej locks as when word security comes first trust comes with Godrej locks as from last 120 years they are keeping us safe.
“If you have digital locks, make sure while opening and locking it should not be visible on webcam installed in your building.”
– This point made me think. We are always clouded by the perception that nothing can happen to us. Opening the door of our home is such a mundane activity that we don’t really bother to check if there is a webcam watching us. Thank you for such a brilliant post and highlighting the dos and don’ts for safety. Keep writing 🙂

The anecdotes shared by the experts are so scary. A robber thinks without any conscious, breaking a lock or killing for a heist won’t take any toll on him.
Better we get serious about our safety and bring home the best of all.
Robberies are more often than not aided by someone in the know-how. Sharing of information and home keys should be done carefully.
Safety is always better than cure !
Such simple points about the digital locks not being visible on webcam. I did not think of the threat it poses. A very informative piece.
The event was supremely insightful. It’s wonderful to see Godrej Locks spreading awareness on this issue.
