  • Careful of where you discuss / post your travel plans;
  • Use timers on your lights to give the impression that someone is home;
  • Arrange for yard work, snow removal;
  • Turn your ringers down on your phone;
  • Unplug your electric garage door opener;
  • Keep your blinds, window covers the same way as when you are at home;
  • Arrange for a house sitter to visit and provide them with contact phone numbers;
  • Do a thorough walk around the interior and exterior of your home before leaving;
  • Do not carry large amounts of cash;
  • Keep cash, traveller’s cheques, cameras and other valuables out of sight;
