Is your house going to be empty for even a few days while you go on vacation? That is the time your apartment or home is open to being burglarized. Here is a bunch of things you can do.
* The best solution is to arrange for a house sitter. An apartment where someone is staying is very likely safer than a deserted home. Make arrangements for a trustworthy friend to hang out at your home for the time you are away.
* Temporarily halt mail and newspaper delivery for the entire time you are away. Unread newspapers and an overflowing mailbox publicises that your home is empty.
* If you keep a garden or have potted plants that are visible ask someone to maintain them. Alternatively remove the potted plants away from sight. Plants dying slowly convey that the home is unoccupied.
* Use timers to work tv and lights. Lights in multiple rooms should be on timers. Set the timings of the lights so it looks as if someone is home. The living room lights should come on at sundown. When you go to bed turn off the living room lights and the lights in the bedroom should turn on.
If you ordinarily switch on tv at 8 pm everyday and keep it on till 10 the timer should do the same thing. Even if the lights are on the absence of the bluish tv glow might indicate that your house is empty.
* Arrange for a neighbor to come in and check out your apartment now and then. Doors and windows being opened points out that the house is occupied.
* If you rent a home or apartment tell the landlord that the home will be unoccupied. The homeowner may want to check up on the home sometimes.
* If you have installed a security system ensure that the apartment sitter is comfortable with precisely how to work it.
* See to it that the caretaker or house sitter can contact you. The person keeping an eye on the house should know who should be informed should there be a problem.
