Before you head off into the sun, be sure to take precautions to lessen the possibility of a break-in while you’re away.  These include: 

• Cancel deliveries and / or arrange for a family member or neighbour to pick up your mail.
• Have someone remove the snow from walkways and driveways.
• Use electronic timers to have lights come on and off to mimic normal household activities.
• Have someone park in your driveway while you’re away.
• Have someone check your home every few days to ensure everything is still locked up tight.
• Top up the oil tank or ensure your primary source of heat will not be interrupted while you are away.
• Store valuables securely in a safety deposit box offsite.
• Double check that all doors and windows are locked and that any alarm systems are functioning properly.
• Don’t post on social media sites about your trip or tell strangers.
