We have listed some additional safety tips when leaving your residence for any extended period of time.
-Make your home look as lived-in as possible while you're away.
-Give a spare key to a neighbor you trust and give them an emergency telephone number to reach you.
-Arrange to have your mail and newspapers either stopped or picked up daily.
-Have someone mow your yard or rake the leaves so your house looks lived-in.
-Use automatic timers to turn on a radio, television and lights at different times to hide the fact you are not home.
-Be sure you do not announce your absence on your answering machine message.
-Leave your blinds like you normally would if you were home. Only close them all the way if that is what you would normally do.
-Be sure to close and lock the garage as well as any storage sheds, gates, etc.
-Ask your neighbor to occasionally park in your driveway. If you are leaving a vehicle parked outside, have the neighbor move it periodically so it looks as though you are home.
If you have any additional questions please contact the Topsfield Police Department at 978-887-6533
