But you don’t have to get pre-occupied about it in order to do a few common and not as common things to help keep your home safer.

  • Have neighbor pick up mail and newspapers every day
  • In winter, have neighbor drive on your driveway when it snows
  • Don’t share vacation plans on social media sites
