Unfortunately, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fbi.gov\/\">Federal Bureau of Investigations<\/a> (FBI), it\u2019s also a time when many homes are burglarized. \u201cNearly 40,000 burglaries occur annually in the U.S. during November and December alone!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>More time spent away from home during the holidays \u2013 whether it is to shop, attend an event or travel \u2013 combined with an abundance of presents under the tree equal a burglar\u2019s dream come true. Use these holiday security tips to ensure your home remains protected during the course of the next few weeks.<\/p>\n<h2>Holiday Security Tips<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Tip #1: Be Discreet<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of the easiest ways for thieves to know what Santa left under the tree is the leftover boxes and packages which are placed in your trash and\/or recycling receptacles and then put out on the curb. Your best bet is to break down and conceal the boxes as much as possible. Better yet, don\u2019t dispose of them until trash collection day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip #2: No Remote Left Behind<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Never leave your garage door opener remote in an unattended vehicle. All a criminal would need to do at that point to gain unlawful entry into your home is to break into your vehicle and activate the opener using the remote. On the same note, you should never leave your garage door open, no matter how short the length of time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip #3: Brighten Up Your Home<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Brightly lit homes make burglars apprehensive. The last thing they want to do is be spotted when attempting to break and enter. That\u2019s why it\u2019s a good idea to install exterior motion detector lights that are triggered any time someone approaches your home at night. These lights are also incredibly energy efficient.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip #4: Don\u2019t Announce Your Absence<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you will be traveling for the holidays, avoid announcing those plans to all of your social media friends, family or followers. Burglars scour these and other websites looking for prime targets! Even posting something as simple as \u201cHappy holidays! We\u2019ll see you in the New Year\u201d gives criminals the opportunity to gain the edge.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tip #5: Invest in a Smart Garage Door Opener<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Thieves don\u2019t stand a chance with a smart garage door opener. Today\u2019s garage door openers work in combination with your smartphone or tablet allowing you to open and close your garage door as well as monitor its status \u2013 all from the palm of your hand and from anywhere within the United States.<\/p>\n<h2>Need a New Garage Door?<\/h2>\n<p>Replacing a malfunctioning garage door is a great way to enhance both the curb appeal and security of your home!
