Summer Fun and keeping your home safe

It is great to see so many taking vacations this year where last year many skipped due to the failing economy. I think that many have just decided that what is most important is their relationships and down time is necessary to stay sane.

With a time of heavy crime as burglury increasing more than two fold, we need to be sure that when we do go away that we don't show that to suspecting criminals. I have attached some of the methods we recommend to our investor to protect their homes while vacant.

• Using a survailance camera
• caging your outside equipment
• having a friend/neighbor pick up your mail and any newspapers that are left in your driveway
• Leave a light or two on a timer
• Beware of dog sign
• sign outside with name of monitoring security company name
• leaving a car in the driveway

Don't waste this beautiful summer but instead take a vacation and feel much safer if you use one or more of these stated ideas.
