The turkey and stuffing are almost here. This time of year we offer thanks for our blessings, which often means gathering with friends and family to support each other.
Meeting for Thanksgiving often means traveling, whether for a day trip by car or by airplane or train to a destination farther away for a number of days. We believe the best of people, but we also believe it is best to be prepared, particularly when it comes to securing your home or business.

Here are a few Thanksgiving tips from H&S if you plan to be away for the holiday:
- If you have timer lights, use them. Lights going on and off help deter thieves.
- Make sure a neighbor knows you are gone and ask them to keep an eye out. You’ll also want them to pick up your mail or newspaper if you haven’t stopped delivery on either.
- Double check doors to make sure they are locked and secure your windows. These simple steps slow down any burglar and will give them pause.
Enjoy your time with family and friends. Give yourself that additional peace of mind by taking extra simple steps to protect your premises if you travel over Thanksgiving. Gobble, gobble!
