Tip of the Week
Vacation Time Home
Security
It’s summertime, and before you decide to pack
up the family and go on vacation, take a few precautions to keep your home safe
while you are away. Be cautious of who you tell about your vacation. Its okay
to let a trusted neighbor know when and where you are going, just don’t
broadcast it to your whole neighborhood. And don’t post the fact that
you are going on vacation on social network sites for anyone to see; a friend
of a friend of your friend just could be a burglar.
Also, take a few steps to make potential burglars
believe someone is actually home. Hook up a timer to lights, televisions and
radios, so they go on and off while you are away. Adjust the time setting to
your normal routine. Make sure that everything is locked up and secure before
you head out; double check sheds, windows, garage doors, and any other
opportunistic locations. Have the post office hold your mail or have a trusted
neighbor collect your mail for you, as well as your newspaper. Don’t
allow newspapers to stack up in your driveway; an obvious clue to thieves that
no one is home.
Another precaution you can take is to turn off the
ringer to your phone. An unanswered phone might tip off a prowler that you are
away. Don’t leave a message on your answering machine announcing your
vacation to callers. If you have a home security system, call your company and
let them know you will be on vacation and notify local law enforcement, as
well, so they can keep an extra eye on your home while you are
away.
