How Good Is Your Home Protection?

By Mark Mahaffey


It is that time of year again - vacation time! This is when families all over the country pack up and head for sunny beaches or mountain cabins to relax. We look forward to this time all year, and for good reason! It is healthy to get away for a while, and often we find ourselves able to think more clearly and work more efficiently after some time away.

But it is hard to relax on vacation if you are worried about your home protection while you are gone. Leaving your home unattended can be stressful if you do not feel confident in your security plan. Especially since crooks prefer to break into homes that are empty.

Thankfully, you can do a lot while you are on vacation to keep your home secure. You actually have several different options. Each of these tips is effective, so do not think you have to use them all in order to be safe. Pick the ones you think are best for you, keeping in mind that you will be safer if you choose several.

Do you have a home security system installed in your home? If not, you should do this first. This is one of the smartest things you can do to keep your home safe from burglars. In fact, burglars will often not even try to break into a home that has one installed!

Next, take a look at the amount of light that is around your home. Is it very bright or is it dark at night? The brighter it is, the less likely that you will be a victim of a break in, because burglars like to sneak around in the darkness. Improve your home protection with security lights!

Another smart tip is to pay someone to be a house sitter for you during your time away from home. If a robber does not realize your home is empty, he may not try to break in and rob you.
