Holiday Security Tips for LA Homes: Deliveries, Travel & Visitors

The holidays are peak season for porch piracy and break-ins: more deliveries on doorsteps, more homes empty during travel, and more visible signs of new valuables. A little prep keeps the season merry.

Protect your deliveries

Use delivery alerts, lockboxes, or pickup lockers, and try to schedule deliveries for when you're home. A visible doorbell camera deters opportunists.

Traveling for the holidays?

• Put lights on timers or smart schedules so the house looks occupied.
• Pause or forward mail and packages.
• Set camera motion alerts to your phone.
• Ask a neighbor to keep an eye out.

After the gifts

Break down boxes for expensive electronics rather than leaving them at the curb advertising what's inside. Keep new valuables out of window view.
