Safety Tips for the Holidays
Holiday Safety Tips for Homeowners in South Africa
Keep Travel Plans Private: 🤐
Avoid broadcasting your holiday plans on social media. Sharing your absence can attract unwanted attention.
Home Sitter: 🏠
If possible, have someone trustworthy stay in your home. This gives the appearance of a lived-in space and deters potential burglars.
Secure the Perimeter: 🔒
Before leaving, make sure all windows and doors are locked. Consider investing in alarms or cameras for added security.
Lighting Matters: 💡
Use timers for lights to create the illusion of someone being home. Adequate outdoor lighting can discourage criminal activity.
Community Watch: 👥
Stay connected with your local community watch and neighbors. Discreetly share information about your absence with trustworthy neighbors for added security.
Parcel Delivery Hold: 📦
Temporarily suspend parcel deliveries to avoid clear signs of an empty home.
Pets: 🐾
Remember to keep pets safe and secure and if possible get a pet sitter to look after your pets while you away.
Remember, a few precautions can go a long way in ensuring a safe and worry-free holiday season! 🎄✨
