Vacation Preparation Tips - Make Sure Your Home is Safe

Vacation Safety Tips for Your Home

Follow these other tips to protect your home and property:
  • Your goal should be for your home to appear lived in. You want it to look different in the morning than at night.
  • Inform as few people as possible of your vacation plans. This includes newspaper and postal delivery people.
  • Ask a trusted neighbor to keep an eye on your home while you are gone and to report any suspicious or criminal activity to the Police Department (310.378.4211).
  • Give emergency telephone or cell phone numbers, your itinerary and a house key to your trusted neighbor.
  • Ask your neighbor to pick up your newspaper, mail and other deliveries daily, or place a mail hold on them.
  • Ask your neighbor to park their vehicle in your driveway occasionally.
  • Arrange to have the lawn mowed.
  • Install dusk-to-dawn (photo cell) or motion sensor lights on all outdoor lights. Use automatic timers on a radio and lamps to simulate occupancy. Set these for your normal routine. 
  • Don’t post your vacation plans or photos on social networking sites.
  • Lock all outside doors using quality deadbolt locks and shut and lock your windows. Lock your garage door.
  • Use your home alarm if you have one.
  • Store valuables in a safety deposit box.
