Is your apartment to be unoccupied for sometime while you vacation out of town? That is when the house is vulnerable to burglars breaking in. Here is a bunch of things to do to defend your home.
* The better alternative is to have a sitter at home. An apartment where someone is staying is almost always safer than a house that is empty. Check if you can get a trustworthy friend to remain at your home while you are go away.
* Halt the mail and newspaper delivery when you leave the home unoccupied. Piles of newspaper lying around tells potential burglars that your house is unoccupied.
* If you have potted plants visible from outside have them maintained by someone. Or shift the potted plants where they are not visible from the road. Plants dying from lack of care tell the observer that the house is empty.
* Put lights, tv and radio on timers. Lights should be on timers in multiple rooms. Use a natural looking sequence for lights. At sunset turn on the living room lights. At the time you turn in the lights in the living room should turn off and the bedroom lights should be turned on.
If you usually switch tv on at 8 and have it on till midnight or so the timer must follow those timings. The living room light may be on but the tv being off can clue in someone that the apartment or home is empty.
* See if a neighbor can drop in to your house regularly. Doors and windows being worked mean that the home is occupied.
* If you rent the apartment let the landlord know that the house will be unoccupied. The houseowner may want to keep tabs on the apartment.
* If you use a security system see to it that the the person who is doing the house sitting recognises how to make it work.
* Make it a point to see that the house sitter or caretaker can reach you. The person responsbile for checking into the house must know who they should fill in if any issue should come up.
