NEW YORK (AP) - When a family goes away on vacation, the last thing it wants to do is put out a welcome mat at home for burglars.
But that's what can happen if people don't take some basic steps to make a house look lived in and therefore not an easy target for would-be thieves.
"Your house should be safe all the time, of course," said Jeanne M. Salvatore of the Insurance Information Institute. "If you take the time to make sure it's not inviting to crooks where you're not away, so much the better when you are away."
