Show me information about security alarm systems article reviewIs your house going to be empty for a longish time while you travel on vacation? That is when it generally is vulnerable to housebreaks. Here is a bunch of things to do to deter thieves. * The most effective solution is to have a someone occupying the house. Having someone stay at your home is very likely safer than an apartment that is not occupied. Try getting a friend or someone you trust to stay at your house while you travel. * Temporarily halt newspaper and mail when you travel out of town. Mail and newspapers lying around lets passersby know that the home is unoccupied. * If you maintain potted plants that are visible from the road have them kept by someone regularly. Otherwise move the potted plants out of sight. Uncared for plants are a hint that the apartment is unoccupied. * Put the lights and tv on timers. Lights in several rooms should be on timers. Set the timers to make the light sequence look natural. The timer should switch on the living room lights at dusk. Afterwards living room should turn dark and switch on the bedroom lights. If you turn on tv at 7 pm every day and have it on till midnight or so set the timer accordingly. Even if the lights are on the tv being turned off can give a clue that the home is unoccupied. * Arrange for a neighbor to drop in on your house frequently. Doors and windows being opened gives evidence that the house is occupied. * If you rent a home or apartment it may be useful to tell the landlord that you are traveling. The landlord may want to check on the home now and then. * If you use a security system ensure that the the person who is doing the house sitting is familiar with precisely how to use it. * See that the house sitter can reach you easily. The person watching over the house should be aware of exactly who to call should any issues come up.
