If you allow people/contractors in your home you need to be vigilant of what is left out (visible). Don't Let them know you are on a regular schedule, or that you are seasonal. We don't have a land line. Be careful of the boxes you put out for the trash. These are just a few things. Yes, it's sad that we need to do this but it is a fact of life. We are easier targets than a 25 yr old. So we need to use common sense. Most of the people that break into your home are looking For a quick easy profitable target. The harder you make it the more likely they will pass on your home, unless they know it Will be very profitable.
