Home Security for the Holidays...See full size image

In the Winter 2009 USAA Magazine edition, the following tips are offered to protect your home if you are planning on traveling during the holidays.

 

Your Home, Alone.

Don't let crooks steal your holiday cheer.

  1. Ask a neighbor you trust to check on your home while away.
  2. Stop newspaper and mail services. Or, ask neighbor to get.
  3. Lock all windows & doors, including those in garage & basement.
  4. Ask someone to shovel snow, if needed, while you are away.
  5. Use timers on exterior & interior lights & radios to make your home appear occupied.
  6. Put away tools & ladders.
  7. Advise your security company of your plans.
  8. Don't "tweet" that you are traveling.
