If you’re concerned that burglars are going to pilfer your home when you’re out, then don’t ever go out. Oh, you want to go out? Well, don’t let the burglars know that! Here are some ideas for what you can do to make your home look occupied:
- Keep your lights on when you’re out (or put them on a timer, turning on and off reasonably).
- Keep a radio playing.
- If you’re on vacation, stop deliveries of the newspaper and other such things. A pile of newspapers means no one is home and that a burglar should come on in.
- Don’t leave a note! (”Hey Kelly, we stepped out until 3, feel free to break inside and steal our stuff”)
- Arrange to have your lawn taken care of if you are going to be away for a while.
