Is your home or apartment to be empty for a few days while you take a vacation? That is when it is vulnerable to being burglarized. Here are several specific things to minimize chances of housebreaks.
* The best way to defend your apartment is to have a keeper or sitter at home. An apartment where someone is staying is normally safer than an uninhabited apartment. See if you can get a friend to stay at your apartment for the time you are traveling.
* Stop the mail and newspaper delivery when you leave the home unoccupied. Unread newspaper and mail calls attention to the fact that the home is unoccupied.
* If you keep a garden or have potted plants that are visible get someone to maintain them. Or move the potted plants away from sight. Untended and dying plants suggest that the house is empty.
* Use timers for tv and lights. Lights in several rooms should be on timers. Set the timings of the lights so it looks as if someone is home. The timer should turn living room lights on at sundown. Subsequently at bedtime living room should turn dark and the lights in the bedroom should turn on.
If you generally switch on tv at 7 pm and it remains on till 11 pm set the timer accordingly. The living room light may be on but the absence of the tv glow can give a clue that your house is empty.
* See if a neighbor can drop in on your house regularly. Windows being opened and curtains being worked signals that the home is occupied.
* If you live on rent you might notify the owner that the apartment will be empty. The landlord may want to keep tabs on the home.
* If you have a home security system installed make it a point to see that the housesitter is familiar with how it is to be operated.
* Make certain that the house sitter can reach you easily. The person checking on the house must be aware of who to call should a problem arise.
