How I can appear to be at home when I'm not?
One of the best ways to appear that you are at home when you're not is to make it look like someone's in the house. What you want to do is make sure that newspapers do not accumulate on the driveway, and make sure that mail does not accumulate. Something that you can do, is you can put lights on a timer so that they will turn on during the evening and then turn off at a certain time. You can also maybe have your TV or maybe music on a timer as well, so there will be some noise from your house. If you have a neighbor, you can have them come over, you can have them open up the curtains during the day, and maybe close the curtains at night so that it looks like someone is at the home while you're not there.
