Whether you're always out of town for business, or love to spend quality time on vacation, spending a large amount of your time away from home can pose some unique security challenges. It's one thing to prevent a break-in when the home is occupied every night; it's quite another when the house will be vacant for weeks on end. Statistics show that burglars prefer a home that is empty, because they can take their time and don't risk getting caught. Even better if they know you won't be returning for days! That is why it is so important to take the necessary steps to protect your home, even if you're eager to start your weekend or in a rush to make a cross-country meeting.
First, create a list of services that should be started or stopped when you leave. Call to have mail and newspaper delivery stopped while you're gone. One of the oldest tricks used by burglars is to check for a pile of mail in the box or newspapers on the porch, as both indicate that no one has been to the home in some time. It's equally important to have someone mowing your lawn or snowblowing your sidewalks, as neglecting these chores also indicates that no one is home.
Your home actually gives many clues to your activities. Besides looking at the condition of your lawn and the stack of mail, a savvy criminal will also watch your car. If you're gone for an extended period, ask a trusted neighbor to park in your driveway every few nights. A home that never has a car parked in front of it is one that looks empty.
Next, make sure that your home security system is ready to go. Though you should be making use of your alarms every day, if you haven't been, while you're traveling is certainly a good time to start. If your system includes timer-operated lighting, set it before you depart so that the home looks lived-in. If there are motion sensing alarms or other features of your security system, make sure they are turned on before you leave. If a burglar breaks in and there are no alarms blaring, he will feel comfortable spending a great deal of time emptying out your home of anything valuable.
Security systems aren't the only thing that can sound the alarm if something goes awry. When you leave, no matter how frequently you travel, always let trusted people know about it, especially your neighbors. If they see anything suspicious around your home, they will know to report it. If they don't know you are gone, they might assume that everything is okay.
Though home security should be a priority for everyone, it is especially important if you spend a lot of time away from home. Those who travel often need to be particularly careful about the message they are sending to potential burglars, and take the necessary steps to make their vacant home a less attractive target.
