Before you leave, take a few simple steps to help protect your home and enjoy greater peace of mind while you’re away.\n\n- Use security cameras and outdoor lighting. Motion-activated cameras and well-lit entryways can help discourage unwanted visitors. Set indoor lights on timers to give the appearance that someone is home.\n- Keep your property visible. Maintain clear sightlines around your home so neighbors can more easily spot unusual activity.\n- Connect with a trusted neighbor. Let someone you trust know you’ll be away and ask them to keep an eye on your property.\n- Place your mail on hold. USPS Hold Mail can keep your mail secure for up to 30 days and prevent it from piling up while you’re gone.\n- Request a Vacation Watch. Contact the [Fort Bend Precinct 3 Constable’s Office](https://preview.constablepct3.com/crm/vacation_watch/request/create) to learn about its Vacation Watch service and arrange additional checks on your home while you’re away.\n\nA little preparation can go a long way toward keeping your home secure. Safe travels, and happy holidays!","minHeight":null,"id":"275"}]}}},"pageContext":{"id":"197"}},"staticQueryHashes":["3353957978","3649515864","3759728895","63159454"]}
