Before Leaving on Vacation

Here are some simple tips to protect your home while you are away and to help stop theft within the Village:  By keeping the appearance of your home as normal as possible, this will help to conceal the fact your home is vacant. 

Here are some suggestions for creating this impression: 

• Keep shades and blinds in their normal positions.
• Stop mail or newspaper delivery, or arrange for someone to pick them up everyday.
• Lock all doors and windows
• Arrange for lawn service or snow removal at proper times.
• Put timers on several household lights so they turn on and off at appropriate times.
• Leave a radio on or put it on a timer.
• Inform a trusted neighbor of your travel plans and ask him or her to keep an eye out for suspicious people or activity.
• Don't allow deliveries of any kind to accumulate on your doorstep.
• Ask a neighbor to park in your driveway overnight.
• Refrain from publicizing your trip ahead of time.
• Turn down the ringer on your telephone so that if a burglar is around, he won't be alerted to your absence by a ringing phone.
