David Lupberger on Don't Stop at Stopping Your Mail:

Hi, This is David Lupberger with ServiceMagic.com.

You know, many people are taking extended vacations for the Holidays this time of year. And while we all know to put a hold on your mail at the post office and stop the milk while you're gone, that's not always enough. Many things will arrive on your doorstep that don't go through the post office, and these items signal that nobody's home.

Items like phone books-who even uses phone books anymore?
Packages from delivery companies.
Neighborhood newspapers.
Menus from local restaurants and flyers from bands and films in the area, you name it.

When these items pile up, it will let potential burglars know that you aren't home.

So in addition to stopping your mail...
...make sure that you have a "No Soliciting" sign posted by your front door.

Also, ask a friend or neighbor to grab everything from your porch while you're gone.

These tips should help keep you safe while you're traveling.

Happy Holidays.
