Vacation Security Tips

Keep your home and valuables safe while you travel.

Get a trusted friend or relative to house-sit. At the very least, make sure your neighbors know your plans.
Have a neighbor pick up your newspapers and mail every day.
Lock all doors and windows and secure the garage door.
Leave a car in the driveway, or ask a neighbor to park there.
Leave a house key and a number where you can be reached with a trusted friend or neighbor.
Use timers to turn lights on and off at certain times, altering light patterns, to make your home look occupied.
Leave drapes and shades open as normal. (Closed blinds during the day are a sure sign of an empty house, plus they allow a burglar to work unseen by neighbors.)
Arrange to have your lawn mowed.
Be sure your trees and hedges have been trimmed. This gives burglars fewer places to hide.
Replace any burned-out lights in your yard. Consider upgrading outdoor light fixtures with devices that have built-in motion detectors, which turn on whenever anyone walks past.
