Keeping Your Home Safe While You Are Away

If you are traveling this holiday season do these a quick things before you go. Shut off the water. Water heaters can fail, pipes can burst, and if you are gone no one will be there to stop the water from damaging your whole home. Power down. Unplug computers, TVs and other appliances that could be at risk during a power surge. Safe keeping. If possible, place jewelry, valuables and sensitive documents in a fire-proof safe. Hold the mail and newspaper. Piles of mail or newspapers attract thieves. Illusion that someone is home. Use timers for lights, radio and TV, park a car out front, leave toys or hose out. Let a neighbor or friend know you'll be away and trust them with a spare key - just in case. Don't tell the world! Be careful on social media. Thieves research on-line to find their next target. Wait until you are safely home to post pictures and updates.
