If you are going on vacation, it is especially important to make your home appear inhabited and to ensure that your insurance will cover you if something does happen. To fully protect your home, here are some things you can do: - Stop all mail delivery.
- Arrange for a neighbour to cut the grass or shovel snow.
- Cancel all deliveries during the time you will be away.
- Maintain normal lighting patterns by using electronic timers.
- Ask a neighbour to put one of their garbage bags in front of your house on collection day.
- Leave a radio on, with a timer if necessary to simulate normal use.
- Ask a neighbour to park in your driveway.
- Arrange for neighbours to pick up flyers.
- Don't talk about your vacation plans with strangers or service people.
- Use your work address on your luggage tags so a potential burglar won't know where your empty house is.
- Lock garage door.
- Tell someone you trust that you will be away, for how long and how you can be reached.
- Have someone check inside your home every 24 hours especially in the winter months.
