The nice weather is here, so many people are going on vacation. The problem is that a lot of people also forget about home security while they’re on vacation, and they come back to a home that’s been broken into. Below are some home security tips to remember when you’re on vacation.
- Stop Newspapers & Mail – The first thing you want to do is to stop your newspaper and your mail delivery before going on vacation.
- Have Your Lawn Cut While Away – This can be difficult, especially if you do your lawn mowing yourself. But a lawn that isn’t mowed, especially if you are gone a long time, can show that you aren’t home.
- Tell Someone You Trust – It’s always a good idea to let someone know that you trust that you’re going away. If your relationship is good with your neighbors, this can be a neighbor. Otherwise, have a close-by friend or family member check on your house.
- Don’t Post Pics while You’re Away – Yes, it’s exciting to show off your pictures from your trips. But wait until you get home to post them. Otherwise, you’re just advertising that you aren’t home.
These are some simple home security tips to remember when you’re going on vacation. They can help your home stay secure and help your personal possessions stay secure while you’re away. These tips will help you put your mind at ease while away and make coming home a lot nicer.
