Vacation Home Security Ideas.

Think carefully about the security of your Hidden Valley vacation rental. Most police departments or local security companies will watch your vacation home, free of charge. Provide them a written schedule of expected occupancy. Paying a neighbor or relative to check your property is also a good solution. Make sure your newspapers are not piling up outside your front door. .

Always lock all doors and windows, Put a light and TV on a timer to create the illusion of occupancy. Consider buying a hotel safe. They can be found for less than a $100 and will give your renters the peace of mind they deserve.

Owners closets are also a good idea. pick one or two closets in your house and put a pad lock on them. These closets will keep your personal ideas safe while you are away. My family keeps our skis and snow gear in them. These closets can also be used to store food and bathrooms supplies.
