Many people take vacations or weekend trips throughout the year. But an empty house, condo or apartment can be a tempting target for would-be burglars.
By using these 9 tips to secure your home before going on vacation (or away for a long weekend) you can help ensure your vacation has a happy ending:
1. Make your home appear lived-in while you're gone.
2. Use electrical timers to turn on a radio and lights at different intervals.
3. Install secure locks on all the outside doors and windows.
4. Stop deliveries of mail and newspapers.
5. Ask a neighbor to keep an eye on your house while you're away. Be sure to leave them a phone number where they can reach you in an emergency.
6. Schedule someone to mow your lawn and maintain your yard.
7. Leave your blinds in the same position they would be if you were home.
8. Never leave a house key hidden outside your home.
9. If you will be gone for an extended period of time, put your valuables in a bank safe deposit box.
