Securing
Your Home for Vacation
- Let
a neighbor know that you are going away and for how long.
- Make
sure that all mail is picked up when you are away.
- Have
someone mow your lawn in the summer and shovel your drive
(or have a neighbor drive his car in and out a couple times)
after a snowfall.
- Don't
advertise your absence on your answering machine; simply
state that you are unavailable.
- Put
lights on a timer system.
