My letter might give OK up $2,000 to protect my property-no questions asked. I'm not sure everyones trusted neighbor would spend money without asking first.
And yes Texas has a law that basically says you can use deadly force to protect my property-if I tell it is OK to "protect my property." I am not asking anyone to do that but I want them covered should they choose to do so.
I was thinking surely someone else at RVU has done something other than verbal instructions. If not maybe I can get enough ideas from your input.
You're worrying way too much. Have an alarm system installed, it will monitor your windows for glass breakage and sets off the alarm. If it goes off the company has a list furnished by you as to order of notification before they call LE dispatch. Trade cell numbers with your neighbor. As to roof damage, if a strong storm hits and you get damage to the roof have your neighbor call you and then you call your insurance company with your neighbors name and number as a point of contact.
As I said in an earlier post we travel a lot and for extended times, once for two years and with the Alarm system we have (installed at no cost) have had peace of mine.
I have no "written authorization" with my neighbors, only an agreement for service with my Alarm company. There are more then one who do this, I have ADT, it runs about 90.00 a qtr and I do get an insurance break because of the system.
Quit stressing yourself out over something that may not happen.
Call an Alarm company and they will come out and show you what you need. Most of them install for no cost, only charge for monitoring. And if you have home damage, thats what Home Owner policies are for.
