Costa Mesa Vacationers: Before You Take Off…
.jpg)
For scads of Costa Mesa residents, 2022 will mark the first true summer vacation season in a long time. The U.S. Travel Association tells us that domestic leisure travel spending has already surpassed pre-pandemic levels (even adjusting for inflation).
For Costa Mesa vacationers, taking off for longer than a weekend will require thinking back to retrieve some of the smart traveling habits developed when yearly trips were routine—household security measures among them. For all the Costa Mesa vacationers whose homes will be left unattended, reinstituting a few precautionary measures will go far to prevent a miserable surprise from spoiling the return home. Here’s a refresher:
- Secure seldom-used doors and windows that usually remain unlocked.
- As a vacation emergency backstop, hide a spare key where you can remotely instruct a helper to find it. Keep in mind that thieves expect you to settle for ‘under the doormat’ or ‘in the flowerpot.’
- Recruit a friend or neighbor to gather any mail or newspaper overflow.
- Unplug the remote-controlled garage door motor—it might be vulnerable to multi-frequency scanners.
- Suspend deliveries. An Amazon Prime carton on the porch is a common sight—but when one remains uncollected for more than a day, it’s a red flag that crooks look for.
- If possible, avoid leaving a car in the driveway—it’s very common for thieves to break into a house searching for keys to a parked auto.
- Delay posting vacation pics on social media until you’re back in Costa Mesa. And do avoid tweets about now being delayed at the airport.
It doesn’t matter that Costa Mesa neighborhoods are safer than most—for whatever reason, crime is expected to continue to be on the rise throughout the country. But do have a great vacation…and after you return, whenever it’s time to turn your attention to Costa Mesa real estate matters, we hope you’ll give us the first call!
