****DISCOURAGE BURGLARS AND KEEP YOUR STUFF OUT OF THEIR HANDS****

While on Vacation:

  • Ask a family member or friend or hire a house sitter to live in your home
  • Ask neighbors to help with your trash bins and newspaper.
  • Install an approved and monitored residential alarm system.
  • Park a neighbor’s car in your driveway.
  • Use timers on indoor lights to give the impression you are home.
  • Have merchandise (parcels) delivered to a neighbor’s house. (a useful tip at any time.)
  • Request Vacation Home Checks from your local Altadena Sheriff’s Station.
  • Get to know your neighbors and have them keep an eye out and report suspicious activity.
