As the summer winds down, thousands will head out this weekend for a last minute vacation. Whether you’ve been planning your trip for months or are leaving on the spur of the moment, you’ll want to follow some basic safety tips:
- Research your destination to avoid getting lost. Winding up in the wrong part of town in an unfamiliar city is no one’s idea of a good time.
- Limit the amount of cash you carry to just the amount you need. Visit an ATM machine as your funds are depleted, or use credit cards to pay for expenses.
- Let your neighbors know you’ll be gone so they can keep an eye on your house.
- Leave your home looking occupied: put lights or televisions on timers to simulate normal household activity.
- Don’t leave any valuables in your car. Laptop computers, for example, may be great for traveling, but when left in the car, they are magnets for thieves.
- Keep your purses and wallets close to you. Don’t leave them on the table at a restaurant or bar where they can easily be picked up and carried away.
- Never tell strangers that you are on vacation.
