Advice on brinks home security safe model 5054Is your house going to be empty for some days or weeks while you go on an outing? That is when your home tends to be susceptible to looters breaking in. Here are several things to help make your home safer. * The best security for your apartment is to have a sitter at home. Having someone in is very likely safer than an empty house. Make arrangements for a friend or relative to live at your house while you go on vacation. * Discontinue the mail delivery and newspaper delivery when you go on vacation. Unread newspapers and an overflowing mailbox lets everyone know that no one is home. * If you have potted plants that are visible get someone to maintain them. Otherwise move the potted plants out of sight. Wilted plants are a hint that no one is home. * Use timers for radio, tv and lights. Put lights in several rooms on timers. The lights should turn on an off in a natural manner. At dusk turn on the living room lights. Afterwards living room should turn dark and the lights in the bedroom should be switched on. If you turn tv on at 7 most days and you keep it on till you turn in the timer should do the same thing. The lights may be on but the lack of light from the tv can give a clue that the house is uninhabited. * Arrange for a neighbor to drop in to your apartment or home often. Windows being opened and closed etc convey that the house is inhabited. * If you rent the home you may want to notify your landlord that you are going out of town. Your landlord may want to keep tabs on the apartment. * If you have installed an alarm of protection system ensure that the housesitter is familiar with precisely how to use it. * See to it that the neighbor or house sitter can contact you. The person checking up on the apartment must be well aware of who to call should any issue crop up.
