It can be so tempting to post beautiful vacation pictures on social media, but these can wait until you get back. Be safe and don’t broadcast that you are out of town to the world. You can always share pictures when you return!

From Chill Insurance:

At Christmas time the home becomes very busy, there are decorations to be hung, turkey’s to be cooked, and family gatherings to prepare for. With all of this going on it’s doubtful that home security is at the forefront of your mind. But should it be? Chill Insurance surveyed 750 people and made some discoveries that may surprise you.

According to the findings:

• people are most likely to keep their most prized possessions in the bedroom;
• 26% leave the home unattended when they go away;
• When out of the home 49% of people leave the lights on for security reasons;
• 24% of those surveyed claimed against house and contents insurance since moving in;
• 23% of households do not know how to check their smoke alarm.
