The holidays are a busy time for most of us. Unfortunately, they represent the busy season for criminals who break into homes and businesses, too.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why we advise every homeowner to invest in a state-of-the-art security system that will deter thieves and make them more secure. And once you\u2019ve done that, here are five other holiday season safety tips to consider\u2026<\/p>\n
#1 Be Careful of What You Throw Away<\/strong><\/p>\n Big boxes and receipts for expensive items can be spotted by thieves who will know you have brand-new merchandise in your house. Be careful of throwing these items away in a place that\u2019s likely to be visible to those who pass by.<\/p>\n #2 Close the Curtains at Night<\/strong><\/p>\n Your Christmas tree might look beautiful to those who walk by on the street, but it also gives criminals a way to look into your house and see whether there are gifts that could be easily taken.<\/p>\n
