Don't let yourself fall victim to crime

Don't let yourself fall victim to crime. Statistics point to increase in crime during recessions. When you’re scurrying around, getting ready to go on vacation, the last thing on your mind may be your house. But preparing your home for vacation is just as important as packing your suitcase, experts say. Burglary is often the first thing we think about, but you should also take steps to avoid unnecessary use of electricity. The best tactic to prevent burglary is to give the illusion that someone is at home. Get to know your neighbors well. Tell them that you’re leaving and ask them to grab the mail and newspapers. Or put a hold on your papers and mail (call the U.S. Postal Service at -1-800-275-8777). Leave a car parked in the driveway. Lock all windows and doors, including the shed and garage. Perform a second walk-through, making sure that every door has been locked. Complete all yard work. Have someone mow the lawn while you’re away if you’ll be gone longer than a week. The American Crime Institute suggest that bushes should not be taller than 4 feet. Eliminate places that a burglar could hide. Put timers on the lights and electronics. Arrange for the indoor and outdoor lighting to power on simultaneously. If you watch TV from 7 to 10 at night then set the timer for the TV to power on at that time while you are gone or invest in a Fake TV Simulator.
