1. Have a housesitter. A friend or family member who you trust to stay at your house while you are gone is a great way to fool burglars. 2. If you cant get a housesitter then have a neighbor check on your apartment or home while you are gone. Have them turn on some lights or the tv and radio to give the illusion of life. 3. Keep a radio or tv on a timer if nothing else fails. TV noise would immediately give the illusion of somebody being home. 4. A BIG MUST---Make sure whomever is watching your home knows how to work all the alarms in the house and knows the code to turn it on or off. They should also know who to call in case of a problem. 5. Unless there is going to be a housesitter, you must have your mail stopped. Even if it is for a couple of days. A stack of mail is a dead giveaway to a burglar. Also have a neighbor keep an eye out for packages that may be delivered too. Have them pick them up and hold them for you. 6. Make sure you have your garden and plants watered to make it seem like there is some kind of life. Especially if your garden is usually spectacular. 7. Apartment users---Check your lease. Many landlords require that you notify them if your apartment is going to be left empty for any period of time. This is so they can enter in case of an emergency. With a housesitter this is not necessary. This is just a few tips to get your through the summer and enjoy it. Enjoy your vacations Adam Walls |
