VACATION Checklist
Here are some ways to protect your property while you’re away.
ü Check to see if your local community has a house watch program. Also, notify the police and neighbors before you leave and provide a phone number where you can be reached in case of an emergency. ü Stop your mail, newspapers and other deliveries. ü Transfer valuables and cash to a safe deposit box. ü Place radios and lights on timers throughout the house for a “lived-in” look. ü Turn down the volume on your telephone and answering machine so that they cannot be heard outside. ü Arrange to have a neighbor or friend mow the grass and check for deliveries in your absence. Having someone check your home occasionally could deter a thief. ü Provide your security system company with a vacation phone number or your neighbor’s number. ü Close your blinds or curtains enough to prevent a direct view into your home.
