When you make your home look occupied while on vacation, criminals are less likely to be tempted. Here are some simple tips that may help.
- Newspapers that litter your driveway or porch are a sure sign no one is home. Make sure you stop delivery.
- Visit your local post office and have your mail stopped. They will either hold it for you while you are gone, or delivery it all to you when you return.
- Put several of your lights on timers, set to go on and off at various times. Timers are an inexpensive way to make your home look occupied.
- Leave a radio on in the home. Radios use very little power and the sound from the radio may give someone who is trying to enter, second thoughts!
