Leaving your home empty while you go on holiday can make
your house an easy target for burglars. Imagine coming home from your amazing
holiday and discovering your home has been broken into and your possessions
stolen. There are some precautions you can add to your checklist to avoid this
happening to you.
ü
First of all make sure to test your home alarm
system before you leave for your holiday, don’t leave it for the last minute.
ü
Tell your neighbours that you are leaving so
they can keep an eye on your property or get a friend or relative to house-sit
while you are away. They can also check your post box and open and close your
curtains regularly.
ü
Consider purchasing some timer switches, you can
set them to turn on your lights or a radio at certain times so it creates the
illusion that someone is home.
ü
Don’t advertise to everyone that you are going
away, try not to post about it on Facebook or other social media, the wrong
people might see and it can make it easy for them to plan a burglary.
Being a victim of a crime while you are on holiday can
completely spoil your time away, make sure your home is safe and secure, this
can give you complete peace of mind and let you enjoy your holiday.
