“When going on holiday, make sure your alarm is working; test it before leaving your home,” Foley said.
He also advised the following:
- Ask your neighbour to keep an eye on your property; however, it is also a good idea to get a house-sitter at a nominal fee
- Make sure all windows and doors are locked and all keys removed from the locks
- Avoid a build-up of delivered mail to you house or unit, this will show no one is at home
- Secure all doors and windows of your home and use your alarm when the house is vacant and when not home at night
- Be aware of all your shopping bags when walking from shop to shop
- Keep your shopping trolley close to you at all times after exiting the store.
Foley wishes the community a wonderful festive season.
