2. Make your absence less noticeable: Ask for a friend to go to your home a couple of days, to pick up the mail and the newspapers. It is good for people to see that there is movement on the house. This means, less temptation for thieves.

3. Unplug all of your electronics: This prevents your house from a fire.

  1. Excellent article, Marina!

    Another thing I would add, try not to tell the world that you’re going away! This sounds stupid, but everyone posts up the fact that they are off on holiday on Facebook nowadays. Not everyone on your “friends” list is always a friend, and someone knowing that your house is empty for the next week would be very helpful to a burglar…

    1. Hey David,

      Soooo right. We are never transparent about that, but many people are.
