I hope you all
have a safe and relaxing time during your vacation this summer.
It’s crucial that we all have time to recharge and recognize what’s important
in life. We only go around once, so it’s important to savor what we have.
Before you leave
town, I thought you might be interested in a few precautionary safety tips to
keep your home and your possessions safe while you’re gone. Often in the
run-up to a vacation, people neglect to take simple steps to protect themselves
from becoming a victim of theft or vandalism.
You’ve probably
covered your bases, but just in case, here are 10 basic precautions you can
take:
1. Have someone collect your
mail and newspaper daily.
2. Leave shades and blinds
in normal positions.
3. Put at least two lights
and a radio on automatic timers.
4. Have someone leave trash
at your curb on garbage collection day.
5. Have someone park a car
in your parking space occasionally. If you leave your car outside, arrange to
have it moved every so often.
6. Leave a key with a
trusted neighbor in case of an emergency. Let the neighbor know where you are
going and when you are expect to return, also leave them a way to get in
contact with you in case of an emergency.
7. Lock all windows and doors
before you go. On extended trips have someone to maintain your pants,
balcony/terrace gardens
8. Consider turning off your
home’s water main to prevent damage from a burst pipe.
9. Be careful how much you
check-in on social media while on vacation. If your privacy settings are
incorrect you might reveal to strangers your home is vacant!
Be safe and have a blast...
