YOUR VACATION
* Set lights on timers or light sensors to
turn on and off in the evening. A TV or radio
can also be set on a timer to add to the
illusion that someone is at home.
* Suspend newspaper delivery so papers do not
pile up in front of your house.
* If you have a separate mailbox, rather than
a mail slot, put your mail on hold.
* Ask a neighbor to keep an eye on your house
and pick up any mail, fliers, newspapers,
packages, etc., left outside, and shovel your
walkways if it snows.
* If you use a yard service, make sure they
come to your house while you're away. An
overgrown lawn is a good sign that no one is
home.
* Leave a car in your driveway, or ask a
neighbor to park there.
* Don't record a new message on your home
answering machine indicating where you are or
how long you'll be away. You'll be issuing an
open invitation for someone to rob your house.
* Leave shades, curtains and blinds in their
normal positions. Covered windows during the
daytime indicate an empty house
