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.
