Keeping Your Home Secure While You're on Vacation

The best way to keep your home from becoming a target is to keep it from being obvious that you're gone. Burglars don't want to come face to face with homeowners, so they will go for the easier target first, the house where clearly no one is at home. Here are some tips for making sure it's not easy for burglars to tell you're away:

Before you leave home, don't forget to...

  • Doublecheck the locks on your doors and windows before you leave. Make sure you set your alarm if you have one.
  • Store your valuables in a secure safe that is hidden from anyone who may be peeking in a window.

If you return from your trip and find that you have been burglarized, don't touch anything. Immediately leave the premises and call the police from the nearest phone. Remember, the burglar could still be inside.
