Protect Yourself During the Holiday Season

In this past week I have heard from 2 clients that their homes were broken into.  Both homes have a monitored alarm system but in each case the burglar alarm was not armed.  They both had planned to leave the home for only 20-30 minutes and were in a hurry so decided not to arm the alarm system.  When they arrived home….one found their home in complete disarray and not a lot taken and the other found all of their jewelry stolen.   Unfortunately it only takes minutes for someone to come in and rob your home.  Especially with the holiday season approaching please do not forget to to turn on your home alarm system.  This is just a reminder to all of us who have alarm system to turn them on, even when you are leaving your home for just a few minutes.  After all, you get a discount on your home insurance when you have a monitored alarm system…..so why not arm your home and have that peace of mind!
