HERE ARE SOME ESSENTIAL TIPS TO KEEP YOUR HOME SAFE ON VACATION😉
Ask a Friend to Help
A simple way to gain peace of mind while traveling is to ask a friend or neighbor to keep an eye on your house while you’re away. Give this person a key so that he or she can bring your mail in, feed your cat, water your plants, rake your leaves, etc. He or she should also have your contact information and a copy of your itinerary in case of emergencies.
Don’t Tip Off Criminals on the Web
Do not post your detailed vacation plans on social media. Would you announce to a crowd that you will be leaving your house unattended for two weeks this month? You can always post your vacation memories or details after you return. Be careful what you say on your voice mail too. Callers don’t need to know that you’re not home, they just need to know that you unable to pick up the phone right now.
Do Tip Off the Police
Consider notifying the police if you’re going on vacation. No need to let the cops know about a weekend getaway, but do call them if you’re leaving town for longer than a week or two. It’s possible the police may go out of their way to drive by your house while on patrol, especially if you live in a small town. If you have a security alarm, leave a house key and the code with someone you trust, and provide the police with their name and phone number.
Curtains Closed—or Open?
Leave your curtains exactly as you usually keep them when you’re home, since noticeable changes could hint that you’re not around anymore; especially if your curtains are uncharacteristically left closed for two weeks. Move expensive items, like jewelry or computers, out of plain sight if they’re visible from the window.
The Lights Are on But No One’s Home
Don’t leave your lights on at home throughout your entire vacation in an effort to make it look like someone is in the house. Your electric bill will end up more costly than your mortgage, and house lights blazing throughout the night might look a bit suspicious. Instead, purchase a light switch timer that can turn your lights on and off automatically according to a programmed schedule.
Stop Your Mail
Fully stuffed mailboxes indicate that you aren’t home. Unsubscribed your monthly mail for the period you are on vacation.
Pull the Plug
Unplug your electrical appliances to protect them from power surges. This will help you save power as well; many appliances draw energy even when they’re turned off.
Remove Your Spare Key
If a criminal figures out you’re away on vacation, it’s likely that he or she will check your porch or any common area for a spare key.
Use a Monitoring Doorbell System
A video doorbell system allows you to see, hear, and speak to visitors from anywhere in the world via your smart phone.
