TWO important tips to follow over the holiday season can help to keep you and your home safe this holiday:
Make Sure Gifts Aren’t Visible From Outside
It’s such a common sight during this time of the year – a frosted window from which you can see a beautiful Christmas tree all lit up, with dozens of gifts underneath it.
This sight is enough to make a potential burglar size up your house. With all those gifts in plain sight, how are they supposed to resist?
That’s why you need to make sure that your tree and the gifts underneath it are not visible from outside. Remove temptation and you reduce the chances of becoming a burglary victim.
Watch What You Post on Social Media
Potential burglars are like hawks on social media.
They look through posts seeking out information on the types of gifts people bought or received, or when they plan to leave their homes for Christmas shopping or for vacation.
The information you choose to post online can be used against you.
Therefore, take care not to post about valuables that may be in your home under the Christmas tree, or when you will be away and the house will be empty.
