Longest Yard

The last thing on earth that anyone of us like is spending your whole Christmas explaining to the very good officer and the not polite home insurance investigator how someone managed to break open your house, clear out your safe, your tree and your refrigerator and take everything with none even noticing. Since the police are always going around between Thanksgiving and January 3rd, and the last thing you need to do is to see your home insurance rates go any higher than they already are, here are some simple, tried and true methods to help keeping your home away from becoming a target of this in this holiday season.

Keep your doors and windows bolted, even if you live in a “nice” neighborhood. By all means, spend Christmas in the Bahamas. Just don’t allow others to know about it! If you’re going to be away from town, get a friend to have an eye on the house for you. The home insurance companies like the fact that someone’s keeping an eye on the place.4) think of investing in an electronic security system, preferably one that connects directly to local law system, 5) install a deadbolt. This is a good way. Even during the holidays robbers will go for the best and leave the less appealing choices alone, so ensure your home is in that less appealing list. If you can do that you, your home and your home insurance rates should make it through this holiday time without a penalty on you.
