With the Holiday season fast
approaching, and who out there don’t think that you could use a good vacation?
Here is a few pointers that can be
done to make your home just a little safer, so when you return it is in the
same condition as when you left.
Have your paper stopped, or have a
neighbor pick it up as early as possible, just to make sure several papers do
not end up in your driveway. This sends a “Red Flag” up saying “no one home”.
Mail is another important “Red Flag”.
You can have the mail stopped and started very easy. Or you can have one of
your neighbors pick up your mail, after all you could return the favor, and do
the same for them.
Pick up a timer for a lamp, or even
two of them, that will go on and off at different times in different parts of
your home. Put them where they will do the most good.
Give your neighbor some phone numbers
where you can be reached, and some phone numbers locally, if possible, just
incase your neighbor needs to reach someone in a hurry.
Please tell your neighbor if you
will be having anybody come to your home to do anything, and what kind of
vehicle they will be driving.
Speaking of vehicles, don’t forget
to remove any valuables and LOCK them up. Most of the items that were removed
came from an unlocked vehicle.
Now all of this has been done, go
on that needed vacation and have a wonderful time, take plenty of pictures.
