With the summer travel season in full swing, there are several simple steps you can take to make sure that your home and valuables are protected while you’re away. A few smart practices can make a big difference in keeping burglars out and minimizing any anxiety you may have about leaving your house to enjoy a much-needed vacation.
While you would hope that your dog would dutifully watch over your house and stop any thieves from entering, he’s probably more likely to welcome any strangers than growl or show signs of aggression. Instead, it’s better to rely on a good neighbor who will pick up your mail and newspapers, and occasionally park in your driveway to prevent burglary.

If, however, a burglar is able to get past your very intimidating Pug and your neighbor’s watchful eye, a
home safe is a worthwhile investment for protecting your valuable possessions. There are lots of safes to choose from, and one of our favorite manufacturers is
Gardall. The Gardall
Large Vertical Microwave Safe, for example, features plated, interlocking bolts, heavy steel construction, a dual mechanical key, combination lock, programmable electric lock, and a limited 1-year warranty.
Sentry is another great home safe manufacturer, and their
Fire-Safe® Combination Home Safe is perfect for protecting your important documents and jewelry. This home safe combines fire protection with advanced organization, including shelves, trays and a locking drawer, so you can focus on friends, family and the beach, and not on the security of your home and belongings.
