Making sure your house is safegaurded while on vacation

• Don't broadcast your plans to go on vacation. Just make sure your neighbors and the Police Department know.
• Have someone mow your yard, rake the leaves, pick up your newspaper & and mail while you are away.
• Use timers to turn off and on lights at the house so that it appears someone is home.
• Turn down the ringer to your phone and don't announce on your answering machine that you are on vacation.
• Give one of your neighbors your emergency phone number to reach you.
• Be sure to lock up all out buildings like your garage and storage shed.
• Ask a neighbor to park in your driveway to give the appearance of someone being home or if you are leaving a car, have a neighbor move it around to appear it is being used.
