-Make your home look as lived-in as possible while you're away.
-Give a spare key to a neighbor you trust and give them an emergency telephone number to reach you.
-Arrange to have your mail and newspapers either stopped or picked up daily.
-Have someone mow your yard or rake the leaves so your house looks lived-in.
-Use automatic timers to turn on a radio, television and lights at different times to hide the fact you are not home.
-Be sure you do not announce your absence on your answering machine message.
-Leave your blinds like you normally would if you were home. Only close them all the way if that is what you would normally do.
-Be sure to close and lock the garage as well as any storage sheds, gates, etc.
-Ask your neighbor to occasionally park in your driveway. If you are leaving a vehicle parked outside, have the neighbor move it periodically so it looks as though you are home.
