Spring Vacation Travel Safety for Your Home
If you’re planning a trip with your family this spring, here are some tips to help keep you safe.
- Do NOT share your trip on social media where you will be going. Potential thieves see this as an open invitation to your home since you won’t be there.
- Lock all windows and side doors. Secure all windows, doors and openings at your home, including the garage door.
- Never leave anything in plain sight. If you have windows without curtains or blinds to cover them, don’t leave anything valuable out in the open.
- Provide a spare key to a trusted neighbor, family member or friend. If there is a problem and they need to get into your home, they will be able to.
- Stop mail delivery if you will be gone for an extended period. Accumulating letters and packages could be stolen, plus they’re a signal to potential thieves that no one is home.
These tips will help to keep your home and personal belongings safe during your spring trip this year. Have fun!
