Tips Home - Protecting your home during Vacation. |
| |
If you are away from your home for an extended period of time, remember these security tips before you leave. |
| | |
Be careful who you tell when you plan to be away from your home. However, alert your neighbors to watch your home. |
| | |
Maintain your lawn before you leave or have someone mow your lawn while you are gone. |
| | |
Do not let deliveries accumulate. Have a neighbor pick up mail, newspapers and packages daily. If that is not possible, then stop deliveries so they do not pile up. |
| | |
Ask a neighbor to use your garbage cans. An empty garbage can is a tip-off that you are away. |
| | |
Leave your car in the driveway. This gives the appearance of an occupied house, and prevents burglars from backing up a van for loading. |
| | |
Don't leave keys under your doormat, flower pot or window ledge—intruders check these first. |
| | |
Use timers for lights, televisions and sound systems to turn them on and off at different times to give your home a lived-in look while you are away. |
