Vacations are a wonderful way to get away from the day to day grind, but worrying about your home security can add unnecessary stress to your getaway. Taking a few precautionary steps to assure your home security will allow you concentrate on the sand and sun, not the state of your home.
• Leave your blinds open or in their regular position
• Stop the delivery of your newspaper
• Lower the ringer of your telephone so it can't be heard outside
• Arrange for your lawn to be mowed or walk shoveled
• Ask a neighbor to pick up circulars that are left on your door
• Have your mail and packages picked up, forwarded, or held at the post office
• Program a timed device to automatically turn your lights, stereo, or TV on and off at appropriate times
The easiest way to establish home security while you are not at home is to put on the pretense that you are.
