Home Security During the Holidays

Did you know that home break-ins increase during the holiday season? If you’ve watched Home Alone, this should be no surprise to you!

If you don’t have Macaulay Culkin keeping your home safe over the holidays, here are our tips to making sure no bandits get into your home, wet or otherwise!

Keep Your Curtains Closed!

Burglars will typically scope out a neighborhood to see which homes will be the best targets. Your movie magic scene of a ton of presents under the tree and fine china on the table could make your home stand out. Keep your curtains shut and angle blinds facing upward so that potential thieves can’t see into your home!

Lock your Doors!

Whether you’re leaving for a few minutes, or a few days, make sure you take a few minutes to lock up all your doors and windows! It doesn’t take long for someone to sneak in and swipe something.

Use Tech to your Advantage!

If you’ll be out of town, here are a few ways you can use technology to keep your home safe!

• Timers for lights can make it seem like you’re home when you’re actually away!

• Invest in a quality home security system to monitor your home while you’re away!
