Is your house to be left empty for several days while you travel? That is when it is most vulnerable to looters breaking in. Here is a bunch of things to do.
* The best way to defend your apartment is to get someone staying at home. Having someone stay at your home is almost always safer than an empty house. Try arranging for a trustworthy friend to stay at your apartment when you are away.
* Discontinue your mail delivery and newspaper delivery when you travel out of town. Mail and newspapers lying around tells everyone that your house is empty.
* If you maintain a garden have them kept by someone regularly. Or Else ensure that the potted plants are kept out of sight. Plants dying from lack of care are a signal that the house is not occupied.
* It is a good idea to use timers on lights and tv. Use timers to control lights in many rooms. Set the timers to make the light sequence look natural. The timer should switch on the living room lights at dusk. Subsequently at bedtime the lights in your living room should be switched off and switch on the bedroom lights.
If you ordinarily switch on tv at 8 pm everyday and it remains on till 11 pm set the timer accordingly. Even if the lights are on the tv being off might be enough evidence that no one is home.
* Arrange for a neighbor to visit your home on a regular basis. Doors and windows being worked points out that the house is inhabited.
* If you rent an apartment tell the landlord that the home will be unoccupied. Your landlord may want to keep tabs on the home.
* If you use a perimeter protection or other security system make sure the homesitter recognises how it is to be worked.
* Make certain that the house sitter or caretaker can reach you. The person checking on the house should know who they should fill in should a problem arise.
