Reporters visited
The exterior walls of some buildings are not guarded
The reporter recently visited and found that the external walls of many communities in Haikou City have laid drainage pipes, gas pipelines, etc., but some communities have not installed protective facilities on the external wall pipes of buildings, coupled with the fact that some owners will open windows for ventilation, providing an opportunity for thieves to climb the pipes and steal burglaries.
Located in the Jiahua Apartment Complex at No. 258 Xiakan East Road, Haikou City, two residential buildings are equipped with gas pipes on the outer walls. These gas pipelines lead to the homes of households on each floor of the two buildings, and there are windows in the residents' homes near the side of the pipeline that are not equipped with anti-theft nets, and if the resident forgets to close the windows when he leaves home, the thief climbs from the gas pipes and can climb directly to his home. One owner said: "This pipe is really easy to climb up, if it is targeted by thieves, climbing along the pipe to the home to steal, the loss is great." ”
Located in the Heavenly Human Community on Fengxiang East Road, the reporter saw that although the community protected the gas pipeline on the outer wall of the building, the drainage pipe did not install protective facilities, and some drainage pipes were installed near the balcony of the residents.
Subsequently, the reporter visited jinshengyuan community, some houses in Gordon East Street and some hotels, and also found that there were pipes laid on the outer wall of the building and were not fortified.
The pipeline is not fortified, bringing "convenience" to the thief.
A small area in Haikou installed anti-theft thorns on pipes.
The owners are worried
There are "spider thieves" who crawl into the house late at night
The reporter visited and found that some old residential areas, drainage pipes, gas pipelines are installed on the outside of the building wall, some are next to the balcony or window, if there is theft patronage, these undefended pipes are very likely to become the "stairs" of thieves.
Ms. Liu, the owner of the Heavenly Human Community, is more worried about this. "I often see news on TV of thieves climbing the outer wall pipes and burglary." Ms. Liu said that her home is on the 4th floor, the drainage pipe is installed outside her balcony, because the balcony is not installed with anti-theft nets, she is worried that thieves climb the drainage pipe in the middle of the night to burglarize.
Ms. Zhang, a resident of a small area on Haidian Island, also has this concern. "In order to prevent thieves from climbing the water pipe and burglarizing, I specially raised prickly cacti on the balcony, but I still don't feel at ease." Ms. Zhang said.
Liang Fuhui, manager of a property company in Hainan, told reporters that there are indeed drawbacks in external drainage pipes and gas pipelines, and in order to keep the pipeline from loosening, it is necessary to install clips for fixation, which also brings "convenience" to criminals climbing pipelines.
Liang Fuhui said that the direction design of the pipeline is based on the internal and external structure of the building, and for safety reasons, the direction will not be changed casually. However, as long as the property company does a good job of prevention, the thieves have no way to start.

Install anti-theft stinging and butter on the pipes
Officer Wu of the Binjiang Police Station in Qiongshan District, Haikou City, said that thieves mainly burglarized by climbing external wall pipes, picking and cutting protective fences, and unlocking locks. To prevent thieves from climbing the pipe and burglary, in addition to installing high-definition surveillance, you can also install anti-theft stabs on the pipe.
During the visit, the reporter found that the Binjiang Dijing Community located on Yebo Road and the Binhai Huating Community on Haidian Island have installed anti-theft thorns on the outer wall pipes of the buildings.
In the interview, many residents also expressed their approval of installing anti-theft stabs on the pipes. "It's good, it can have a deterrent effect, and the thief will give up the idea of climbing the pipe and burglary when he sees it." Ms. Yang, the owner of Binjiang Dijing Community, said.
"You can also apply butter to the pipes." Officer Wu said that when butter was applied, the pipe would become slippery and sticky, and the thief would not be able to climb up.
The relevant person in charge of the Hainan Property Management Association reminded that the property company should strengthen supervision, and the owner should remember to close the doors and windows when he goes out and leaves home, so as not to leave the opportunity for the thief to take advantage of.
