Vacant House Reminder

Please take special attention to secure the homes you have listed that are vacant. Break-ins of vacant homes continue with the stripping of copper. Asking an adjacent property owner to be mindful of activity around the vacant property and report suspicious activity to the authorities is one step. Another is, if electricity is available is to install a timers on a few lights to give the appearance of occupancy. In a recent case thieves removing copper pipe cut municipal water feed line and it resulted in significant water damage to the lower level of the property.
