Is your house to be left empty for sometime while you and your family vacation out of town? That is when your home is most susceptible to looters breaking in. Here are several things to minimize chances of housebreaks.
* The best way out is to have a sitter at home. Having someone at home is very likely safer than an empty apartment. Try to get a trustworthy friend to remain at your apartment when you are away.
* Temporarily discontinue mail and newspaper delivery for the entire time you are away. A mailbox that is overflowing or piles of newspaper tells everyone that no one is home.
* If you have a garden or potted plants get someone to come in and water them. Otherwise shift the potted plants where they are not visible from the road. Untended plants are another sign that the house is empty.
* Put the lights and tv on timers. Timers should be hooked to lights in multiple rooms. The lights should be switched on and off in a natural sequence. The timer should switch on the living room lights at dusk. When you normally hit the sack set the timer to switch off living room lights and the lights in the bedroom should turn on.
If you usually turn the tv on at 8 pm and it is always on till you go to bed have your timer do the same. Even if the lights are on the absence of the tv's light shining through may lead someone to suspect that no one is home.
* Get a neighbor to come in to your home frequently. Windows and curtains being opened is evidence that the house is inhabited.
* If you stay in a rented apartment notify the owner that you are going away for a few days. The owner may want to check on the home regularly.
* If you have a home security system installed see to it that the apartment sitter recognises how it is to be used.
* Make sure the neighbor can reach you easily. The person watching over the house must be well aware of exactly who to call should any issue crop up.
