Are you planning a family vacation ? Imagine returing from a trip only to find our that you’ve been robbed. The best way to avoid this misfortune is to have someone housesit for you, but that may not be a option for you, so consider these tips:
1–Make your home look as though it’s occupied. Use timers on lights, inside and outside lights.
2–Ask a friend to neighbor to pick up mail and newspapers while you’re away.
3–Ask a neighbor to park their car in your driveway.
4–Keep your yard clean. Mow the grass before you leave and prune hedges so that they do not block windows.
5–Lock all doors and windows. Do not leave any spare keys outside.
6–Make sure you activate your alarm system…many people actually forget.
Great post. It is better to be safe than sorry. Security should be one of the priorities to make at home.
