Can’t wait for vacation? Neither can your burglars.

You’ll need to do more than lock the doors when you leave on vacation – you’ll need a burglar’s mindset. 

Before you leave, walk around your home and think like a burglar. Where would you hide? How could you get in without being noticed? Can you see any expensive items through the windows? Chances are, you’ll have a little work to do. 

Trim back any bushes, especially near windows and doors. Draw the necessary curtains to obstruct the view into your house. Burglars will think twice before entering a house they can’t see into. Motion censored lights are a big deterrent, as are lights and radios on timers. If you’ll be away for more than a week, be sure to suspend the mail and have someone mow the lawn.
