Safety tips for your Omaha NE HomeWith the holiday season in full swing, many Omaha, NE families will be packing up and heading out of town to visit loved ones near and far. Whether you are on holiday for a week or just taking a day trip out of town, you want to ensure that your home is not a target for holiday thieves. 

Below we have listed a few tips and tricks for you to review that will help keep your home safe and secure:

-Our first tip for you is to review all entry ways prior to leaving your home. There is no easier way for a burglar to enter your home than through an unlocked window or door. Additionally, you should look into updating old locks and window frames that could be jiggled open. 

-On that same note, be sure to close all blinds and/or shades to keep peeping eyes from looking in while you are gone. Depending on how long you are gone for, you may want to consider leaving a television or set of lights on to make it look like someone is home.

-Installing motion sensor lighting around the exterior of your home, especially at the entrances and near the driveway, is a great way to deter robbers from getting too close to your home. 

-Get to know your neighbors, as they can be a useful extra set of eyes on your property while you are away and notify you (or the authorities) if something looks suspicious. 

-Be sure to lock your garage door and think about disconnecting the automatic opener if you will be away long. 

-Take in the spare key that you have hidden around the exterior of your home, as that is an easy and obvious way for robbers to enter your home. 

-Don’t keep any valuables in plain sight. Tuck your jewelry in the closet and put all important documents in the bank. 

Now that we have covered some safety tips, we wanted to take a quick moment and wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!
