Protect Your Home Against Holiday Burglaries

During the holiday season, many people leave home to visit with family and friends. Unfortunately, this means it’s also the perfect time for burglars to strike. If you’re planning to spend some time away from home, here are some tips you can use to deter robbers from targeting your property and protect it from break-ins.

Outdoor Lighting
Install motion sensor lights and exterior lighting that shines on potential hiding places in your yard.

Make Your Home Looked Occupied
Put a hold on mail, schedule lawn services if needed, and inform trusted neighbors you’ll be away.

Prepare Rooms
Before you leave, draw all window curtains, keep valuables out of view from outside your home, and use timers to turn lights on and off.

Added Security
Consider installing a security camera and a burglar alarm that alerts the police, fire department or other emergency services.
