Is your apartment or home to be empty for a few days or weeks while you travel? That is when it tends to be open to burglaries. Here are several specific things to stop break ins.
* The best security for your apartment is to get a home sitter. Having someone at home is almost always safer than a house that is empty. Try getting a trustworthy friend to hang out at your home for the time you are away.
* Stop your newspaper and mail when you leave the home unoccupied. A mailbox filled to the brim lets passersby know that the house is unoccupied.
* If you have potted plants passersby can see have them watered by someone. Alternatively shift the potted plants where they are not visible from the road. Uncared for plants are evidence that the apartment is empty.
* Use timers to work tv and lights. Timers should be hooked to lights in multiple rooms. The way the lights are switched on and off should look natural. At sundown the living room lights should switch on. Later turn off the living room lights and the bedroom lights should switch on.
If you usually switch tv on at 8 and have it on all evening till bedtime set the timer accordingly. Though the lights may be switched on the tv being turned off might be sufficient evidence that the house is empty.
* See if a neighbor will drop in and check on your home now and then. Windows and curtains being worked denote that the house is not empty.
* If you stay in a rented apartment it is usually a good idea to tell the owner that the house will be empty. Your homeowner may want to keep tabs on the home.
* If you use a burglar alarm system see that the apartment sitter recognizes how it is to be worked.
* Make it a point to see that the house sitter can reach you easily. Whoever is checking on the home should be aware of who they should call if any issue should come up.
