🔒 1. Double-Check All Entry Points
Make sure all doors, windows, and garage entrances are locked and secure. Don’t forget sliders, back gates, and side garage doors!
🕒 2. Set Interior & Exterior Light Timers
Use light timers to create the appearance that someone is home. A well-lit home is a simple but effective deterrent.
📸 3. Inform a Trusted Neighbor or Your Security Team
Let a neighbor, friend, or community security officer know you’ll be away. They can help keep an eye out for anything unusual.
🚫 4. Don’t Broadcast Your Travel Plans Online
Avoid posting real-time vacation updates on social media until you return. It’s best not to let the internet know your home is empty.
