Travel Security Tips from Commissionaires Great Lakes

Going on vacation? Make sure to enhance your personal safety and home security while travelling with the following tips:
*     Cancel all deliveries, when you go away. A pile of newspapers and other deliverables is a sure sign of an  
      empty home
*     Use caution when discussing/posting your travel plans

*     Put lights on a timer 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. Provide them with your 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, traveler's cheques, cameras and other valuables out of sight while travelling
