You've planned a much-needed vacation — but in the back of your mind is the nagging question of whether your home is safe. Here are seven precautions to take before you leave.
1. Lock Everything
Make sure every door and window is locked, including upper-floor windows. Open windows give easy access to burglars and critters alike. Lost track of who has keys? Rekey before you go.
2. Hold Your Mail
A stuffed mailbox is a dead giveaway that nobody's home. Ask a neighbor to collect it or request a hold from USPS.
3. Light Up the Night
A home that stays dark for days draws attention. Use timers on interior lights and install motion-sensor lights outside.
4. Tend the Yard
An overgrown yard signals an empty house. Arrange for landscaping service or a neighbor to mow and water.
5. Prepare Your Home
Adjust the thermostat — important in a St. George summer — and consider shutting off the main water valve to prevent leak damage.
6. Stay Off Social Media
Posting that you're away tells everyone your home is empty. Share your photos when you get back.
7. Secure the Premises
Visible security cameras and yard signs deter would-be intruders, and a home security system lets you check in from anywhere.
