Many people travel during the holiday season but do not make sure that their houses and homes    (protect). Crime goes up    (rapid) during the winter and summer holiday seasons. Here are some things that you should keep in mind when you go on
holiday.
Always give    (strange) the feeling that you are at home. Have the snow    (clean) off your stairs or out of your driveway during the winter season. You might ask someone to park    cars in your driveway.
Tell your newspaper deliverer that you are not at home.    (have) a pile of newspapers and other mail on your doorsteps tells people that you are not at home, so you could also have a neighbor   a relative get your mail every day.
Fix a timer in some of your rooms  turns lights on and off during different times of the day. Some TVs also come with a timer that you could set to be turned on during certain times. Have motion (运动) sensitive lights outside your house that keep thieves away   you are not at home.
