Many burglaries are committed during holiday periods, up to 20% more than in normal times! ALLSAFE gives you 8 tips so you can go on vacation with peace of mind.

1. Make sure someone nearby has your house key for emergencies.
2. Do not post notifications on Social Media or voicemail that you are away. If you do want to post it on Facebook, make sure it is only visible to friends.
3. Make sure your mailbox is emptied.
4. Keep shutters and curtains open. This makes it look like someone is always home.
5. Turn off the main electricity switch.
6. Preferably store valuable items such as laptops, jewelry, etc. externally or in a safe. For example, you can rent a storage unit for as little as €1.40 per week at ALLSAFE!
7. Do not leave valuable machines behind in the shed or summerhouse. Also, ensure no ladders are left outside! This is an ideal burglary tool. Berg waardevolle spullen zoals laptops, sieraden etc. bij voorkeur extern op of in een kluis.
8. Close windows and doors completely.

With these tips, you should be able to keep burglars at bay. Enjoy your vacation!
