Is Your Christmas Trash Advertising To Thieves?

The Liz Spear Team has written a fabulous post you absolutely have to read!  Is your Christmas trash an advertisement to burglars in the area?  And with this economy, can you be too careful?  I think not!

Please leave your comments over on the team's original post, I'm sure they will appreciate it!

ThiefIs Your Christmas Trash Advertising To Thieves?

It was an early start this morning, off to restock a flyer box in a condo community.  Driving around it became pretty apparent that Santa had been VERY good to the residents! 

Let's see, Big Screen TV......Big Screen TV....Big Screen TV....video game system....video game system.  Home after home seemed to have NOT been on Santa's Naughty list!


And how could we tell?  The residents were basically advertising their Christmas haul!  Since today was the first scheduled post-Christmas trash day, the residents had all the evidence we needed right out at the curb!

Now we'd LIKE to think that no one should ever have to worry about their home being burglarized, but during these tough economic times a little theft has become more common.  And if you've made it apparent to us, don't you think a burglar could be potentially cruising a community eyeballing what Santa left for YOU that he just might enjoy?

And it's an easy thing to avoid!  Break down those tell-tale boxes and stuff them INSIDE the garbage can, or break down the boxes and put them inside one of those dark, LARGE garbage bags.  Remove the visual evidence and the likelihood of that burglar picking YOUR home over someone else's home just went way down.

We hope you find this tip helpful, and we'd recommend using this process ANY time of year when you've purchased something that just might be appealing to an unsavory element.

Crimes Against Real Estate Professionals and Other People

Crimes Against Real Estate Professionals and Other People

Okay, so we all need to be reminded of safety.  Today my friend wrote on Facebook how she was robbed at gunpoint last night in the parking lot after grocery shopping.  This same thing happened to my mother a few years ago during the Christmas season. However, this blog is not about that, but about what is happening all over the country to real estate professionals during this horrible housing situation where people are losing their homes and just need someone to blame.

So I was reading once again and saw this story on ABC.News.Go about Crimes Happening To Real Estate Professionals. It was a bit scary and prompted me to look for blog on this topic.  Here are two of the best Active Rain has to offer.

David Burrows wrote one on safety.

Tami Vroma writes Safety Tips for Women Realtors.

And remember, during the trying economic times and especially the holiday season, people are getting desperate.  Be aware of your surroundings and know how to protect yourselves!
