Is your house to be left unoccupied for days or weeks while you go vacationing? That is when the home usually is open to looters breaking in. Here is a bunch of things you might want to do.
* The best security for your apartment is to have a house sitter. An apartment where someone is staying is almost always safer than a house that is empty. Try to arrange for a friend or relative to live at your apartment for the time you are traveling.
* Stop the newspaper and mail delivery when you travel out of town. Piles of newspaper lying around tells potential burglars that your house is empty.
* If you maintain potted plants or a garden ask someone to maintain them. Otherwise ensure that the potted plants are kept out of sight. Plants not being cared for tell potential burglars that no one is home now.
* Use timers on the lights, radio and tv. Lights in multiple rooms should be on timers. Use a natural looking sequence for the lights. Turn on the living room lights at sunset. At the time you turn in set the timer to switch off living room lights and turn on the bedroom lights.
If you usually turn the tv on at 8 pm and you keep it on till you turn in have the timer set accordingly. Even if the lights are on the absence of the tv can indicate that the apartment or home is empty.
* Get a neighbor to drop into your apartment now and then. Curtains and windows being opened are signs that the home is occupied.
* If you live in a rented apartment let the owner know that the house will be unoccupied. The houseowner may want to keep tabs on the apartment.
* If you have installed an alarm system make certain that the home sitter is aware of exactly how to use it.
* See to it that you leave your contact details with the house sitter. Whoever is checking on the home should be aware of who to call should any issues come up.
