ADT Home Security Tips - When you go away

Burglars target homes that appear empty, so the easiest way to thwart them is to make your home appear busy and lived-in. Here are some easy ways to make your home appear inhabited:

• Use timers to turn on and off lights, televisions and sound systems.
  
  
• Never leave an answering machine message indicating you're not home.
  
  
• Don't let mail, newspapers or flyers accumulate.
  
  
• A home without rubbish shows burglars no-one is at home. Ask a neighbour to put rubbish in your bin whilst you are away.
  
  
• Leave your curtains slightly parted so your house doesn't have an empty look.
  
  
• Be sure to leave a car in your driveway while you're away.
  
  
• Have someone mow your lawn or rake leaves if you are going away.
