Secure your home before leaving for vacation
Lock the doors, back up the hard drive, trim the trees. And make friends with your next-door neighbor. School's out and the heat's on. Before you grab your suitcase for family adventures, make sure your home is safe and secure.
HI, NEIGHBOR
• Put newspaper delivery on hold and have mail held at the post office, or ask a neighbor to retrieve.
• Ask a neighbor to pick up fliers hung on your door or tossed on the lawn — sure signs that you're away.
OUTSIDE THE HOUSE
• Arrange for lawn care. Overgrown grass is a giveaway that you're on vacation.
• Put outdoor lights on timers to illuminate walkways and entrances.
• Trim dead branches and overhanging limbs. You should do this anyway during storm season, but it's especially important to eliminate sources of damage while you're away.
• Ask a neighbor to take in or protect yard furniture if there's bad weather.
• If you're going to be away more than 10 days, have someone check the pool and service it if necessary. You don't want to come back to the black lagoon.
UNDER LOCK AND KEY
• Lock up valuables in a safe-deposit box, or consider buying a safe, installable in a closet. Back up your computer's hard drive onto a small external drive and store it in a safe-deposit box.
• Close blinds and drapes from peering eyes keen on spying that plasma TV.
• Notify your alarm service that you'll be away, making sure they've got your cellphone number, and activate the alarm when you leave.
• Close and lock all windows and doors, especially doors you don't routinely lock, like the door between the house and the garage.
• Lock free-standing garages, sheds and other outbuildings.
• Padlock gates. Make it hard for burglars to get in and just as hard to get out with your stuff.
• Disconnect your garage door's remote opening device and lock the door.
• Put a couple of lights on timers. Schedule them to go on and off at random hours or it will look like you're using timers. Test a day or two before to make sure they're turning on when you want them to.
POWER
• Unplug the computer and other electronics. A fried home-entertainment system is not a good thing. Disconnect cable wires.
• If you live in a hot climate, turn the air-conditioning thermostat up to between 81 and 85 degrees. If you have a programmable device, set it to run for about two hours at the coolest time of the day, between 3 and 5 a.m. That keeps humidity at bay.
