Lock it up
Lock it up
Make accessing your property as difficult as possible by blocking the
access road or driveway with a sturdy, locking gate. Ensure your vacation
home has ample, heavy-duty locks on all potential entry points. This
includes windows and sliding patio-doors (a wood or steel dowel placed
in the track will hinder the sliding motion). Use deadbolt locks on
doors for maximum protection. If expensive recreational equipment such
as snowmobiles, all terrain vehicles and boats are left behind, be sure
to disable the engines and lock the vehicle to something larger and
heavier.
