Did you know?
According to Neighborhood Scout, there was a reported 366 property crimes related to holidays in the state of Florida. With the risk of burglary and crime, the question is:
How do you keep your home safe when it’s filled with holiday cheer?
1. Keep your travel plans offline.
Avoid posting on a public social media platform the dates you will be away, especially if you have your demographics in your profile. You never know who could be snooping around and doing some planning.
2. Notify a neighbor.
Burglars can tell if a house has been “abandoned” by noting a collection of mail and newspapers at a home where the owners are away. Ask a neighbor or a friend to hold them for you or order a vacation stop..
3. Hide packages or gifts.
