Keeping Your Home Safe While You Travel
WHEN you leave for your travels, not only do you have to ensure your own personal safety but you also have to make sure that your home does not become a target for criminals!
Keep in mind that
Most burglars look for
-- Something worth stealing!
-- Easy access combined with low visibility!
-- A home that is unoccupied!
Whether you are taking a weekend get-away or going away for the entire summer, you would want to defend your home and possessions from burglars. There are certainly some easy things you can do to minimize the risk of a burglary
-- Never leave notes on your door that can tip off burglars
-- Have a neighbor pick up your mail and newspapers
-- During an extended vacation, make arrangements to have someone mow your lawn or trim your bushes
-- Leave lights on automatic timers, if possible
-- Notify your local police department that you will be away!
-- Ask a neighbor or friend to stop by your house periodically
-- Have them open and close blinds and turn on different lights
Let your neighbors know when you are leaving and when you plan to return home and if you are expecting anybody at your house while you are away!
