Whilst away on holiday, there are several things to take into consideration when trying to keep your home from looking noticeably unoccupied to thieves. This includes pausing any milk deliveries, asking a neighbour to water your plants, or in the case of this post –avoiding a build up of mail on your doormat. This is especially crucial if you have any glass panelling on your door which would allow for burglars to visibly see a pile of unopened post in your hallway.
This service is a great way to help put your mind at ease during your holiday, especially if you do not have any family, friends, or trustworthy neighbours who could pop round to do this. Home security while you are away is vital to protecting your property as most burglars will look for signs of occupation before attempting a break in.
