Travel Peacefully With a Reliable Alarm System for Your Home

Travel Peacefully With a Reliable Alarm System for Your HomeVacation Time

We daydream about it… we research it… we poll our friends and family for suggestions… and we save for it…. We all look forward to that special time when we get to go away on vacation… just the sound of the words get away... vacation  evoke images of our ideal place.   It doesn’t matter whether it’s the beach, the mountains, an exotic destination, a  spa retreat, or any place in the world that lets you relax and enjoy life the way you want to–there’s no doubt about it–we all look forward to our vacation.

Another time for vacations is the holidays.  We travel great distances to see our loved ones and enjoy all those special times and special treats that we only allow ourselves at this time of the year… those special Christmas cookies, pies, cakes and candies… we enjoy and indulge.

And ahhhhh!   It feels so good to relax… whether it’s a holiday vacation with family or a getaway vacation with no deadlines, no phones, no demands, just pure relaxation and enjoyment… vacations are an important part of our lives and create that much needed escape.

Being Away From Home

It’s always nice to get away and preparing to ‘get away’ is almost as important as the trip itself. The key word here is:  preparing.  You may prepare yourself with a vacation check list that may consist of what you will pack, where you will go, where to board your pets, passports, tickets, hotel reservations and list goes on.

But what about preparing your home?

Burglars and thieves are sophisticated and should not be underestimated.  It is a fact that burglars are often on the look-out for homes to target particularly during the holiday times and key vacation times.

As anyone knows whose home has been vandalized, it’s not just about the financial loss.  It’s about the emotional loss of keepsakes, family heirlooms, destruction of irreplaceable family photographs.

How do you prepare your home and reduce the risk of being a target for burglars and thieves?

By planning and preparing before you go away, you can curtail unnecessary risks.

The Logistics of Preparing

The most important thing you can do to be able to travel peacefully is to have a reliable alarm system installed from Home Security Concepts.  This is the first step to ensuring complete peace of mind for your trip.

Home Security Concepts suggest that you consider the following steps to prepare your home for when you are going to be away:

  • Make your home look like someone is living in it with automatic timers for lighting.  A well lit home will deter a break in.Travel Peacefully With a Reliable Alarm System for Your Home
  • Even better, motion sensor lights inside and out will help deter a would-be burglar when those bright lights go on.
  • Ideally, if you can have a neighbor park their car in your driveway it will look like someone is home.
  • Try not to take a taxi to the airport or if you do, do not discuss your travel plans.  And if you have to take a taxi, make it sound like you have a house-sitter–whether you do or not.
  • Keep your landscaping up to date. An uncared-for yard contributes to a sense of ‘no body’s home’.  And untrimmed bushes and over-grown tree branches are ideal hiding places for those would-be intruders.
  • The last thing you want is your personal information in the hands of someone unscrupulous.  Place important documents in a safe place like a safety deposit box will keep those documents out of the hands of the unscrupulous.
  • Remember–do not post your travel plans on social media sites. Burglars and unsavory characters scan these sights looking for those innocent posts of travel plans. They are not afraid to use that information to their advantage.
  • It’s best not to put your home address on luggage tags.  Your city, state and zip code should be sufficient.
  • Consider putting bicycles or other sports equipment in the garage keeping temptation to a minimum.
  • And most importantly:

Make sure you have a reliable alarm system from Home Security Concepts!
